Meals with Mark: Shack Value

Since we're on the subject of "Shacks"...

Now, we don't have to go far to get our Shake Shack fix.

Yes, there's now Shake Shack in Cubao.

Mark and I decided to check it out yesterday. After all, we've tried Shake Shack in Tokyo and in Megamall, so let's give this one a shot, too. (Spot Mark in the photo.)

Well-played, Cubao. Well-played.

Love Shack

The second branch of Shake Shack has opened in Megamall!

We were interested to try it last Friday, but the lines were just too crazy long.

Good thing I've already tried it in Tokyo.

We'll wait until the hype dies down.

Shake it on a Sunday

Another famous food brand from New York has landed in Tokyo.

And yes, we just had to check it out.

This icon of a fast casual restaurant is the East Coast equivalent to West Coast's In N' Out burger. It's one of those places in the U.S. where people line up for hours just to sample their signature burger and shakes.

Apparently, people line up for it in Tokyo, too. Thankfully, it didn't take us hours to order and get a seat.

Mark ordered the Shackburger with a half and half, while I opted for the Shroomburger with a strawberry milkshake. Then, we ordered french fries to share. Good thing I took a photo of it before we started eating because the whole thing was devoured in minutes!

Shake Shack on a Sunday was definitely a stellar sojourn!
