There's less than a week before Christmas and many of us already have an idea what dishes will be on the table come Noche Buena, followed a week later by Media Noche on New Year's Eve. 

Not everyone, however, has the time or inclination to sweat over a hot stove on the two most hectic days of the year. All the luxury hotels have their special menus on those days so they will be certainly open. The same goes for the fastfood chains serving hamburgers, fried chicken and pizza.

If you prefer your food fast and hot, here's a list of restaurants open on those two days:

Kumori
(SM Makati, SM North Edsa, SM Mall of Asia, Landmark Makati, UP Town Center, Robinsons Place Manila, Ayalamalls Cloverleaf)

All branches of Kumori, the Japanese bakery known for its freshly baked pastries and cheesecakes that melt in your mouth.
