When we arrived in Puerto Princesa, Dr. Rivera was already curious about a place called Nomnom. She had heard about it from a friend, who also happened to be a business partner of the owner. All throughout our stay, the name would pop up in conversation, and by the time our last night rolled around, it felt only right to end our trip there for dinner.

Nomnom turned out to be a small but lively burger spot, famous not just for its food but also for its hilarious memes and videos that have made their rounds online. While it carried a certain charm, it was clear the place still has room to grow when it comes to ambience, especially if compared with other more polished restaurants around Puerto Princesa.

What made Nomnom stand out was the experience rather than the food alone. The cheerful staff, the lighthearted atmosphere, and the sense of being in on the restaurant’s online humor all added to its appeal. It may not have been a gourmet burger destination, but it was more than just a meme, it was a fun and memorable stop, especially as the closing note to our Puerto Princesa trip.
