I first tried Mongolian Quick-Stop many years ago and I haven't tried it again until yesterday. We were at the Food Choices in Glorietta 4 and we've recently tried all of the food stalls there except this one. I was trying to remember my first experience with this fast food kiosk, but I just can't recall anymore if their food was good or otherwise. So I thought that maybe it was time for me to sample Mongolian food again.
At Mongolian Quick-Stop, you get to choose from the display counter all the fresh ingredients that will be included in your Mongolian bowl. The choices include vegetables, tofu, noodles, rice, pork, chicken, and squid. You will also be asked which sauce you prefer -- original, sweet, or spicy. After choosing your ingredients, the chef at the back kitchen will then cook your food. After a few minutes, you will have a hot bowl of sautéed ingredients.
My wife took her time choosing the things that will be included in her meal. After all, we were the only ones in line and she wanted to make sure that her first ever Mongolian-style meal will be memorable.
My order was spicy so I liked it. Aside from choosing the spicy sauce, I also asked for some red chilies to be added into my bowl. My wife liked that the veggies were not overcooked, but she was not very happy with the original sauce. After tasting her order, I realized why I could not remember my first experience of eating at Mongolian Quick-Stop -- the original sauce was a tad too sweet and several other flavors are fighting for dominance. I would suggest having the spicy sauce in your bowl. read more
