Hongkong Noodles and Dimsum House

Two weeks ago, my dad and I had to go to divisoria for Madge's second birthday errands. From Caloocan City North, the easiest way was to ride an FX bound to Quiapo and then ride another jeepney going to Divisoria. Because of the holiday traffic, we arrived at Quiapo around lunch time. We were planning to have a quick stop on the local fast food chains when we bumped onto the P99.00 tarp of Hongkong Noodles and Dimsum House. I assumed it was a new resto in Raon since my father, who knows everything in Manila, haven't yet heard of it too.

The P99.00 promo consists of a regular asado siopao, (plus P10.00 for bola-bola), chicken or beef mami, and a regular drink of your choice. I chose chicken mami while my dad chosebeef. We both had bola-bola for the siopao and regular iced tea for our drinks.

When we thought the mami bowl would just be a so-so, since it's already a good catch for only P99.00 pesos, we were shocked that it was a much bigger mami bowl compared to the usual from the more popular chinese restaurant. And mind you, when I thought it was just the soup which made it look full, it actually has BIG BULKS of chicken meat and beef. A great steal for less than a hundred peso lunch ei? It also has many noodles which really makes the promo more than worth its price.

The verdict? I haven't tasted the beef mami, but my dad said it was good. The chicken mami also, was really good, it's flavorful and you can really taste the yumminess of the chicken. Chicken meat? was also tasty, given it is a big piece.

The siopao was also good. My favorite bola-bola was indeed scrumptious!

Will we try this again? Of course! Since we were still bloated after our errands in divisoria. It's simply worth the penny.

Kowloon House Buffet Lunch Review

I celebrated my 27th Birthday with Asico Family at Kowloon House, Fairview. We availed of the buffet lunch for P299.00. Senior Citizens have a discounted rate of P249.00.

Yang Chow and Plain Rice. 

Dumplings. Lumpiang Shanghai was really great together with the shrimp bacon roll and meatballs!! Plus points for the sauces!

sorry, haven't tasted these

Fritz said this is flavorful

this toufu is a must-try

The Nido soup was to die!! Haven't tasted the noodles though

mi plate. The sweet and sour fish is good with rice. Mini siopaos were good but I didn't see the siopao sauce. Yang Chao rice was ok. Dumplings were fried to perfection. The Spareribs were really good.

Madge enjoying her dine

my dessert plate!! The brownies were really good I had to go back three times for it. Jellies were good after a bountiful lunch

My second plate! Nothing special about the canton-bihon. Buchi was flavorful

aah and the nido soup? To die for!!

Kowloon House should train their staffs to respect their customers. They have such bountiful buffet tables but they do not refill it when its empty. I'm not sure if its because the lunch hour is over. But still, since they still see customers dining in, they should refill it as soon as possible. The cashier girls weren't friendly at all. They do not smile, they do not greet guests. Foods were good but staffs weren't.

If I would try Kowloon Housse Buffet Lunch again? Yes, for the food, but I am thinking otherwise because of its staffs. :)

27 years of existence

Oh and again, I so love celebrating birthdays! Especially, of course, Daddy, Madge and my birthday. Last October 21st, I celebrated my 27th year of existence in the office. I had the all time favorite Aling Banang's Pancit Canton-Bihon (P800.00 good for 20pax + P50.00 delivery charge) and Shakey's Pizzas. I ordered two boxes of Angus Steakhouse Pizza for P1,492 (746.00 a box) and Pepperoni and Hawaiian Pizza for the free boxes using Shakey's pizza Supercard.

I was glad I got my colleagues burping. :D

My office friends even got me my most anticipated birthday cake, coffee crumble cake from goldilocks. It was a pleasant surprise since I have been an assuming kiddo for a surprise birthday cake..hehehe.
