Chinese cuisine originated from the various regions of China. Most Chinese restaurants. The eight main regional cuisines are: Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan and Zhejiang.
During these rainy days, I usually have cravings for Shabu-Shabu. Not that it only gives warmth every time I sip its broth but it also tests my patience while waiting for the ingredients to cook. Shabu-shabu is not for impatient people. 
Our foodie friend Nina has been recommending us to try Golden Fortune because they have a Shabu-Shabu and Dimsum buffet promo. So one drizzling evening from Greenbelt Makati, we took a cab and immediately rushed to Binondo. We arrived early so we decided to stay at the Mezzanine Cafe first then at 8:45 pm, we started walking towards Golden Fortune. The place was almost filled up when we arrived there and as the buffet hours go by, more and more eager customers are coming in. I’ve never been to this place before and was surprised that at those hours (9:00 pm onwards), there are people actually going there to eat!

Special Braised Beef Noodle Soup @ PHP 145
Just like Po of Kung Fu Panda, I love noodles. Nothing beats sipping hot broth paired with freshly pulled noodles. This is comfort food for me, especially during rainy days. I’ve discovered a new favorite noodles place which is Kanzhu Hand Pulled Noodles located in J. Abad Santos Street in San Juan. This street is home to my favorite comfort food places: Chicken Charlie and Serenitea.
This restaurant was previously known as Beijing Hand Pulled Noodles, a place where I have always been curious of but never had the chance to try. Many say that with its new name now, the taste is better and there are more variation in the menu.
Of course, I ordered the specialty of the house “Special Braised Beef Noodle Soup” which I love. The broth is really tasty and I love the noodles! It has a hefty amount of tender braised beef. Continue reading →

Sometimes when we go out for lunch or dinner with my parents and siblings on a weekend, we’d go to The Fort and eat at Zong. We love eating at Zong because of the good food and it’s reasonably priced. 
When I received the invitation from Zong to try out some new dishes, I didn’t hesitate at all. Continue reading →
Xiao Long Bao @ PHP 95 (8 pieces)
A stressful week deserves a treat indeed! Mei, my officemate, told me about a newly opened Chinese restaurant in their condo called Peace and Happiness Dumpling House. She told me that it wasn’t the common Chinese restaurants seen in the malls (like North Park, Gloria Maris, etc…) so I giddily probed more because this is my type of restaurant. This somewhat reminded me of Yen Yen, Mien San and Dong Bei.
Peace and Happiness Dumpling House is a small restaurant which has just recently opened (about 2 weeks ago) and serves North Eastern Chinese dishes. We went there on a Friday night and only have more than an hour left to order. We wanted to taste everything but of course, the four of us can only eat as much. Continue reading →
