Venue: Little Bear Diner, 23 East Capitol dr., Brgy. Kapitolyo, Pasig City

Little Bear Diner’s Grilled Cheese Week 2018 is what dreams are made of. For PHP489 (US$9.38) you get to eat as much grilled cheese sandwiches as you want, paired with their free-flowing soup of the day.

No, we’re not kidding.

And we’re not talking about just regular grilled cheddar (although those are good, too).

Apart from the classic cheddar and mozzarella variety, you can also order the “Popper,” made with cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, and pickled jalapeños; and the “Mario,” made with mozzarella, ricotta, tomatoes, basil, and a balsamic reduction.
