The clean, pastel-hued interiors are the product of Max’s personal style, as seen on her Instagram feed.

Insider tip<\/strong>:\u00a0They have available sockets and free Wi-Fi, perfect if you're planning to work all afternoon.<\/pre>\n
The Rabbit Hole’s menu starts off with their ‘Nibbles<\/strong>‘ \u00a0which can\u00a0become full meals when enjoyed with their plain, garlic, or kimchi fried rice. Choose from a variety of Asian favorites<\/strong> such as their Fried Spring Rolls, Pork Sisig, and the Chicken Satay.<\/p>\n

\"There's<\/p>\n
Among the lunch crowd, the Specials<\/strong> (which are all\u00a0rice meals) are a big hit. The prices for these dishes\u00a0range\u00a0from only Php 135-195, but they don’t scrimp on servings (or quality) either.<\/p>\n
Chicken Teriyaki & Kimchi Rice<\/h2>\n
Tender slices of chicken thighs with a teriyaki glaze, served\u00a0with\u00a0semi-spicy kimchi fried rice and\u00a0a perfectly cooked sunny side up egg. P.S. There’s a Korean Belly Beef version, too.<\/em><\/p>\n
\"Can't<\/p>\n
Korean Fried Chicken Wings<\/h2>\n
This simple\u00a0dish is arguably\u00a0one of the best Korean fried chicken wings in town.\u00a0<\/strong>The\u00a0ginger soy flavor is consistent through every bite, not just on the coating. For Php 135, it\u00a0can easily replace your go-to office lunch; you can even order two servings and not feel guilty about\u00a0the price.<\/em><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
As a pasta lover herself, Max made sure to offer crowd favorite dishes such as Lasagna, Creamy Pesto, and of course–Truffle. They even have ‘Chinese Spaghetti’, which comes with tofu chips.\u00a0Insider tip:<\/strong> Servings for pastas are good for 2.<\/p>\n
