Little kitchen Noodle place in Tomas Morato

If you want authentic Chinese cuisine that is affordable, try going to Little kitchen noodle house in Tomas Morato. The place is cozy and delicious Chinese food is served

While waiting for your order to be served you get free green tea and sugar glazed peanuts.

I order Salt and pepper pork spareribs which cost  php 270.00  and Japanese wanton at php 80.00 and Buchi for desert at php 70.00 (4pcs). and a bowl of rice.

I really love the pork spareribs, really tasty and you don't need any condiments to enhance its flavor. The siomai is a bit bland for my taste, comes with a sweet and sour sauce. And you will love the buchi... I do recommend this place.

Wok Inn Malate

It's been sometime  when I last visited this place, at around 2006 to 2007. A close friend which I have not seen in years, brought me to this place. A feeling of nostalgia surrounds me.

When I got there at 10 am, the place is still closed so I was able to snap a few quick shots around.

Still sleeping at 10am?

So decided to go to the National museum and be back here for lunch. Got back at 1:30 pm and I'm starving and a bit tired. No menu, an attendant will assist you to choose the order at the counter or I would say the kitchen , behind a glass panel.

So I ordered stuffed squid and the classic sipa and a small bowl of rice.

Dumplings filled with ground pork and minced veggies

Squid stuffed with spring onion in a sweet sauce

Disappointed with the stuffed squid, not the kind I was expecting it to be. You can tell by the size in the picture, not those big and plump squid that I  used to have in other restaurants. Entire meal cost me Php 350.00.

Ma Mon Luk, A legend in mami and siopao...

I was cruising along Quezon ave. when I felt hungry, haven't eaten the whole day. And Ma Mon Luk caught my attention. It's been some 20 plus years since I last eaten here. I still remember as a child when talking about siopao and mami, Ma Mon Luk tops the list.

It is like a visit to the past, Old newspaper clippings hanging on the wall, old tables, old ceiling fan, Pictures of celebrities during the early 80's and 90's.

I got myself a large bowl of beef mami and special siopao. And the broth taste like stale bread mixed with herbs, not appetizing huh? Well I learned that you have to put siopao sauce to improve the taste and lots of hot sauce.

Then after mixing in the condiments  it becomes a spicy and delicious broth,

The price is a bit expensive for a mami, but to dine here recreates the experience our parents and grand parents once enjoyed.
