Bun Appetit vs. Lobster Station: Which Lobster Roll is Worth Your 600 Bucks?
Lobster rolls are among New England’s most prominent edible icons which, thanks to a number of local purveyors that’ve brought out their own versions, are happily available in Manila. Two in particular stand out: Bun Appetit, the independent seller whose sole current booth opens only on Saturdays at the Salcedo Market (aside from doing occasional pop-ups and deliveries); and Lobster Station, the relative newcomer that made its debut just last year at The Fort and is open seven days a week. But as with almost anything lobster, these treats do not come cheap—so which sandwich is worth the (roughly) 600 pesos a pop?

The Grid is the latest venture of Charles Paw, founder and CEO of the Tasteless Group, the same brains behind Century City Mall’s Hole in the Wall. Food halls and food parks have burgeoned over the last few years, all with their aggressive branding and marketing. But for the majority, their over-the-top ideas took the front seat; and quality, the back seat.
Forget Those Big Names at The Grid; It's the Food That Will Keep You Coming Back
Charles Paw, founder and CEO of the Tasteless Group, knew the kind of food hall he wanted from the very beginning—he wanted something different from the others. He thought up a concept where, instead of promoting existing brands, a particular cuisine or dish will be highlighted. The design will prominently feature soft, bright lights, instead of dark, moody industrial spaces. And a deli will allow guests to continue to enjoy good food from the hall to their own homes. And so the idea for The Grid was born.
