Hello, Shake Shack Philippines!
The popular and iconic New York burger shop finally opens its doors in Manila this May and its pioneer store is massive! It can sit 120 guests at a time and it has four counters to speed up the queue which is expected to be crazy for the next coming months.
First thing I noticed was the cheaper prices compared to its Seoul and Tokyo counterparts. Prices in Manila are about PHP40 to PHP80 cheaper.
Perhaps our raw materials are cheaper too causing the favorable price difference. The most pocket friendly burger in the menu is a single patty ShackBurger (PHP250| PHP410, double).
Though it may come off as still expensive for its size as other chains would offer double patty at this price but its beefy and perfectly grilled patties would make you feel that you're getting your money's worth.
The burger I got was a bit bland but can be easily made extra tasty by ketchup and even cheese sauce!
There's also SmokeShack (PHP365 | PHP525) which is perfect for bacon lovers as this one comes with all-natural Applewood smoked bacon.

And no burger meal would be complete without fries! You can choose between Fries (PHP130) and Cheese Fries (PHP180). I'd recommend the normal fries so that you get to fully enjoy the flavor of your burger.
If you're feeling extra hungry, you might have space for Shake Shack's Flat-Top Dogs. Shack-cago Dog (PHP250) is your "the works" dog. Topped with relish, onions, cucumber, pickles, tomato, sport pepper, celery, salt and mustard, this is definitely not your usual dog in a bun. Tasty in every bite, expect a burst of different textures and flavors. But if you prefer the classic kind, Shake Shack also offers all-beef Hot Dog (PHP200) with an option to add Shack Cheese Sauce for PHP50.

For drinks, there are the Classic Hand-spun Shakes (PHP190) available in chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, black and white, salted caramel, peanut butter and coffee. Floats (PHP190) are also available for those who want something lighter.
Manila Exclusives Ube Shake (PHP190) and Calamansi Limeade (PHP130 | PHP160) are also great options! Ube Shake tends to be a bit too thick though which borders as dessert. So those who are not fond of sweet drinks would enjoy Calamansi Limeade more.
Chilling with friends? Grab a beer or two with your burger! Shake Shack Philippines offer brews from Engkanto Brewery, Monkey Eagle Brewery, and San Miguel.
Wines are also in the menu for those who want things to be a bit fancy.

If it's your first time in Shake Shack with only PHP500 to spare, go for a single patty ShackBurger, Fries and Calamansi Limeade. For PHP1,000 budget, add a single serving of frozen custard and Ube Shake or try 'Shroom Burger too.

Indeed it may put a dent in the wallet to eat here regularly but I am fully embracing the idea of having a bite of Shake Shack's awesome burgers from time to time.
Here's the full menu for your reference.
Shake Shack opens its first store at Ground Floor, Central Square, 5th Avenue, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.
