Extra rice, please!

To say that Filipinos love rice is an understatement. In fact, it has been ingrained in our culture as seen with how it has become a staple every mealtime. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner — no matter what time of day, a cup of piping white rice is always a good idea.

What’s amazing about rice is that it’s incredibly versatile, especially as it complements and balances out the strong flavors brought about by our favorite homemade dishes. Indeed, pairing our fried, grilled, or soup-based food with rice makes up a filling and satisfying meal.

More often than not, a single cup of rice is not enough, leading us to order additional cups to make our tummies happier. That’s why finding restaurants that offer unlimited rice options is a gem for us rice lovers. Good thing, some restaurants understood the assignment.

Have an unforgettable meal and enjoy as many cups of rice as you’d like at these 5 must-visit restaurants. There really is no such thing as too many cups of rice, so go get ‘em!
