Much has been said about this famous Mami house in Binondo but I only got the change to taste it last weekend. Last Saturday, A group of travel bloggers decided to go on a tour around Makati and Binondo. We initially met at Starbucks Salcedo Village before heading to the Salcedo Weekend Market which is right in front of the coffee shop. After food tasting and photo taking in Salcedo Park we immediately headed to Binondo to start our short food tour and heritage tour in San Nicolas afterwards.

A Binondo food tour will never be complete without visiting Dong Bei Dumplings.

wow…. my dad always make kwento about Ma Mon Luk, its his favorite restaurant in Manila. Unfortunately wala daw masarap na noodle house dito sa San Fransisco. I should try it next year.

I suggest you guys try La Mien noodles, just across Wai Ying restaurant at the Benavidez St near Salazar St in Sta Cruz.

Most of my bikebuddies swears by it. Suki ng mga mtbiker!

Masuki is also one of my favorite due to its special sauce kaya after consuming sa dami ng sauce uuhawin ka ng husto dahil sa dami ng MSG or magic stuff they put in, bihira na rin ako dyan lately dahil sa La Mien Noodle House.
