With today’s fast-paced lifestyle, fast food is the fastest way to satisfy hunger pangs. It’s comfort/convenient food that’s good for the soul — and kind to the pocket, too. To literally grab a bite to eat, you need not look far because fast-food restaurants are all over the country — there’s probably one smack in the center of your neighborhood. Indeed, we’re fast becoming a fast-food nation.
So, what’s your favorite fast-food restaurant? We did some sniffing around and quickly came up with this list of top 10 fast-food restos in the country today:

Among its top sellers are the chicken lauriat (only P132), a combination of fried chicken, siomai, rice, pancit, buchi, chicharap in one generous plate; beef wanton (P89), a really satisfying steaming-hot treat for people craving great noodles with chunks...
