  1. A

    Kuwatro siyentos singkuwenta na pala ang isang plato ng pasta rito, ano?

    So a plate of pasta here is four-fifty now, huh?

  2. B

    Sulit naman. Miss, dalawang carbonara nga, saka isang four-cheese pizza.

    It's worth it. Miss, two carbonaras, please, and a four-cheese pizza.

  3. A

    Alam mo, mas masarap pa yata ang palabok mo kaysa rito.

    You know, I think your palabok is even better than anything here.

  4. B

    Bolera ka talaga. Mag-tiramisu tayo mamaya, paborito mo 'yon, 'di ba?

    You're such a flatterer. Let's have tiramisu later, it's your favorite, isn't it?

  5. A

    Dos siyentos singkuwenta ang isang slice? Isang buong llanera na ng leche flan 'yon.

    Two-fifty for one slice? That's a whole pan of leche flan.

  6. B

    Sa susunod na buwan, sa bahay na lang kaya tayo? Ipagluluto kita ng palabok.

    Next month, why don't we just eat at my place? I'll make you palabok.

  7. A

    Sige ba! Ako na ang bahala sa leche flan, isang buong llanera pa.

    Sure! I'll take care of the leche flan, a whole pan of it.
