Rarely do I encounter people who loves Korean food as much as I do - I'm talking about the whole shebang beyond samgyupsal, of coure. But luck is on my side these days that new found friends share the same appreciation. This led me to this tiny Korean restaurant in Ortigas Center Pasig City one afternoon when everyone could ever think of is good servings of food to celebrate an end of work week. 

Welcome to Honey Danji, a small but nonetheless legit Korean restaurant manned by a friendly ahjumma who is more than willing to serve good Korean food to those who are interested enough to indulge.
