Well, I just posted about affordable Chinese restaurants here.  Since we went to Binondo last time last year where my friend treated us because it was her birthday, I thought I'd share some places to try in Chinatown.  It was much more cheaper to eat in Binondo and the food tastes authentically Chinese, in my opinion.
 

It was the first time for us to try eating in Chinatown so we were glad we had the chance.

We tried three food places that we read from blogs which had good reviews.  We went to Café Mezzanine. Dong Bei Dumplings, and Ying Ying Tea house.

Our first stop was Café Mezzanine. This restaurant is located on the second floor just above Eng Bee Tin Chinese Deli.

Café Mezzanine interior, very spacious and clean.  This is located on the popular street which is Ongpin street

You will see this poster upon the entrance of the place.

Months ago, I tried the famous Ramen of Ramen Nagi and I've had quite a great experience.

27 June 2015

News about Ramen Nagi have been over food blogs ever since it opened its branches in the Philippines. I have these great expectations about Ramen Nagi and I was not a bit disappointed. We ate at their branch in The Podium mall but they have a few branches spread out in Metro Manila.


A friendly waiter will assist you in ordering your Ramen. You have the option to personalize your bowl of Ramen. You can pick your soup base (richness of taste, special sauce, garlic), which I chose normal. You can add several toppings that you prefer but I choose Tamago (50 pesos). As for the spiciness, I chose to eat a non-spicy one for a change although I'm a fan of spicy foods. The firmness of the noodles I picked was hard because according to my brother as explained to him before, normal-extra soft may be better for kids and elderly. I like to chew and bite my noodles thus hard for me.

Menu

I was really excited to try Ramen Nagi's version of Ramen and find out why this is the number Ramen house in Japan for consecutive years. I even wore their paper version of a bib to prevent spills in my clothes if I got to excited to eat and neglect my physical appearance.
I didn't even get to use these condiments. The ramen was flavored perfectly, in my opinion. We waited a bit for our ramen to be served so I couldn't help but notice the cute design of the place mats.

Ramen Nagi Branches

They already have 7 branches in the Philippines and a lot more in Japan where they dominated the Ramen industry.







We looked happy even when we were waiting for our Ramen. My anticipation for my Ramen was increasing a lot during the few minutes we waited.

Who would miss seeing this big signage of Pares Retiro at night at the slightly lit street of P. Tuazon near Cubao? I wouldn't miss this. Every time we would pass P. Tuazon, I would always see this Pares Retiro jam-packed with people and crave for pares every time but never got the chance until I suggested that we MUST eat our dinner here after work.

Long counter where you can eat but they also have separate tables

FREE Sinigang soup (during our waiting time)

Condiments (Soy sauce, Fish sauce, Vinegar)

Most Filipinos like to put a lot of condiments in their food as seen in these containers. Just a reminder that moderation in adding condiments to your meals would lessen the risk of diseases in the future.

I wanted to make a quick post about Chizza, KFC's latest food invention.

I can say that Book & Borders Cafe is one of the best cafes in Metro Manila, in my opinion, because of five reasons.


2.  It has a lot of space for customers.  You don't have to worry about finding a seat because there are a lot.

Salted caramel chocolate cake 170.00 per slice

Must try hot mocha drink! I love mocha coffee. Their version is one of my favorites because it strong but tastes like mocha. :)

 

Pesto

Ice cold mocha which is also good

4.  The place offers shelves of books to choose from that you can read while in the cafe.

There are children books if you have children with you.

5.  It has the comfy ambiance which I think is the best (out of all the cafes I have tried so far, it'd just me but you can try for yourself) for reading and relaxing after a stressful day. Also, the staff are friendly and efficient.

I just would like to share probably my favorite cafe in Metro Manila :) Hope you can try to hang out here too.
