Good thing there was a table available to accommodate us. Despite the little mix-up, we enjoyed their Hototay Soup, Shrimp Puff, Chicken Feet, Beancurd Roll, and Birthday Noodles. The restaurant gets full during lunchtime, and we had to request for water seven times before it was served. The waiting table crew looked confused and lost and didn't know which table to attend to. Requests, food, and drinks took more than 30 minutes to be served, but the dishes were served warm. I think they need to have a system where a certain service crew is assigned to a number of tables, so diners won't be confused whom to call and follow up on a request. Definitely good for groups, but we might consider other dining options if we were at Lucky Chinatown Mall.

This is not not not good! It's rice was low quality, the dishes we ordered with anticipation were slop, flavours were dull and boring, and we will never go back. We'd wanted to go to President's Restaurant where the dim sum used to be uncharacteristically excellent for the old Chinatown in Binondo, but the rain, the crowded streets, and mostly corrupt transportation services prevented us from making it. So we settled for this drek! Ah, don't bother if you know good Chinese food? So distasteful that I forget what we ordered! Pretends to be high-end in status but just bolabola! Give us a little hole-in-the-wall with line-ups over this pretentious farce. Don't go there if you want flavour, texture and value. Bleh...

I was originally worried that he'd be super uncomfortable given how crowded and hectic Binondo is. We heard about this fast food place by word of mouth from some of my workmates that grew up in the area. For those that are worried about ambiance, food safety standards or air conditioning--stay away. The place obviously smells like an estero and the way the food is stored is questionable, but the food itself is great! Must-tries for the estero fast food place include the frog legs, the fried chicken, and the seafood pancake. The food is super fresh, flavorful, and CHEAP. If you're down for an adventure and potential acute gastroenteritis, definitely swing by this time-tested stall

The name of the rows of restaurant seems yucky at first. Well, the smell of the estero is not pleasant actually but you didn't go here to smell right? You're here to dine! :) And take your appetite to the next level by ordering food especially at LGA Restaurant, my personal favourite. Yang chow fried rice will always be my kind of rice here, not just any plain rice. I'd take their lapulapu with tausi as well. On one visit here, I tried frog legs, deep fried. I was hesitant at first because though I'm not a picky eater, the fact that eating frogs kinda freaks me out. the food server assured me by saying, "Ser, lasang manok din lang yan!" Gathering enough courage, I sampled a piece and it was true! It tastes like chicken. I wondered then if it was really frog legs and took one piece again, removed the breading, checked out the meat and yup, it was really the legs of a frog! Proving myself it was a frog, I tried to have a couple more. And then I ate my lapu-lapu with tausi again. That's about it. I ate frog legs. So, be adventurous (like me...?!? haha) and dine along the many restaurants along Estero in Binondo. Chow!

Service was friendly even though it was packed; our server made sure we had hot tea refills without us asking. Super affordable too--we fed six of us and still had leftovers for under 2k.

That's the thing about the La Salle area -- new places just sort of pop up like mushrooms in an intensely humid rainforest. My sisters wanted their big brother to take them out, so I did. I had no choice in the matter -- who says no to their little sisters? God, you're a monster. Anyway, I was very relieved when I saw the menu. Their prices were very manageable -- even more so when you see their serving sizes. That Php180 Singapore Laksa? It comes in a wok about a foot across, and the staff will light a burner underneath to ensure that it stays boiling hot throughout your entire meal. Talking about the staff, they're some of the best servers you'd ever encounter. I ate here alone and ordered enough food for four, and no one judged me. Not to my face anyway. It was the best day of my life.

I would also read about them in articles and foodblogs and I became very excited to try it out. Chomp Chomp is a Southeast Asian street food place, and it has a really good menu of street favorites such as laksa, nasi goreng, satay and even ramen. The first time I dined here and had the breakfast ramen, which had egg, spam and a generous portion of noodles, I knew I would love the rest of the menu. I also tried ordering the large laksa, which was served in a hot dish. I could barely finish the laksa, though it was really, really good. I like how creamy the laksa was, and it also came with a generous helping of fishballs, shrimp and fat noodles. I went to Indonesia several times last year, and I would always crave for satay and nasi goreng.They have a really tasty chicken satay which they serve with a nicely done nasi goreng, which is just the right amount of sticky and sweet. The prices are not too bad, considering that the food is good. I miss going to this place, which reminds me to keep in mind to visit this store again the next time I am in the area.

It's also where she takes her friends when they have no idea where to eat in Binondo. A typical meal is in the P150 range, while two persons can share their big bowls of noodle soup and still feel filled. The place is owned by Eng Bee Tin, which explains why all types of pasalubong from the Chinese delicatessen is available here. This is also one of the places where free house tea is served to patrons. This used to be the norm in the past, but is a fast fading practice of many restaurants in Binondo. Mr. Ube always has something new in its menu, but its all time favorites are its dimsum, which go from a low of P45 per order to as high as P130. Since it's in Ongpin street, parking can be difficult. Also, during lunch hour, the place can be full so you either wait or go someplace else. My good friend always waits because she says it's worth it. I will not disagree with her.
