So, I went to Manila last monday and the first thing I had in mind after checking in is to go to Quick Stomach. Well, I originally planned on going to Persian Kebab first but my wife pleaded that I delay my Kebab tryst so we could go together later at night. (She had to go somewhere else first.)

I was shocked to see that Quick Stomach was closed. It looked like it was under renovation. I asked the attending lady inside the pharmacy beside it and she said that quickstom (as I fondly call it) was closed for good. Well, that’s not good, it’s bad.

Quickstom was there with me through good times and bad times. When I was drunk, quickstom was there for me. When I had limited budget quickstom was there for me. When I had to treat friends(?), quickstom was there for me. When I was [insert reason or activity here], quickstom was there for me.

I don’t understand. When I was there, it always had customers. It had quite a number of customers no matter what time it was - it was especially alive during the wee hours. There, you can see a lot of foreigners together with exotic Filipinas. Japanese, Korean or maybe Chinese(?) chicks were even eating there all the time. Makati, I guess, moves in mysterious ways.

Here’s a photo of Quick Stomach, courtesy of Manila Muse:

Oh quickstom, Makati will never be the same without you. Please, rise from the dead! Anak ng chopsuey lechon! Bumalik ka! Sa ngalan ng bistek pilipino at fried chicken, bumangon ka! Presidenteng Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, tutal sayo rin naman sinisisi ng taong-bayan ang lahat ng problema ng Pilipinas, ibalik mo ang quickstom!
