Chow Time is here to satisfy your midnight cravings
Night owls, night shifts, and those winding down from a night out now have a new place to go to satisfy their midnight cravings.
A new restaurant, Chow Time, will be opening on Sunday and hopes to never close as they will be operating 24 hours, seven days a week. Located inside 99 Cents on Middle Road, Garapan, the new place will offer anything from full meals to short orders and snacks.

Owner Anna Liza Guancia said the idea of opening up a 24-hour place came from her own experience as well as from her co-workers.
“It’s hard to find a place here that offers cheap food during the late hours,” she said. “My co-workers are fond of eating after work in the early morning so I decided to operate 24 hours.”
They will be serving not one but three styles of cooking: Japanese, Korean, and Filipino. They will have bento boxes and rice bowls as well.
“The customers who shop at 99 Cents are a mix of Japanese, Koreans, and Filipinos so we decided to offer a mix of food also so that everybody has a choice,” she said.
Guancia said their prices are affordable and they can also adjust the amount of food that they serve depending on what the customer can actually pay for.
The location is also perfect for working people as well as those who, after partying, wants to fill their stomachs with warm, good food.
“We were really looking for a place that is easily accessible to people. When we found this, although it’s small, it’s perfect because it’s near everything,” Guancia said.
“This place doesn’t run out of people,” she added.
Guancia said they started work on the restaurant in June but their opening got delayed because of the typhoon.
“Now we’re finally ready,” she said.
