Tung Lo Wan


Had a business meeting today with one of my developer friends whom I introduced to Gwammy and Kong, and we all had lunch in Tung Lo Wan.  No, we didn't go all the way to Hong Kong--as many will attest, Tung Lo Wan is the name of the original main street in the Causeway Bay area, a shopping district with one of the priciest rental rates in the world.  This Tung Lo Wan I'm referring to is a restaurant located along Wilson Street, near the corner of P. Guevara Street in San Juan.  Simple ambience, fast service and tasty food priced reasonably.


The roasts were quite yummy!  I was in this same restaurant a few days ago with some friends and for today's lunch I ordered mostly the same favorite viands--soy chicken, polonchay with red eggs & century eggs, 8 Treasure soup, steamed suahe (white shrimps) and Lechon Macau (roasted pork with crunchy skin)!  For dessert we had mango sago (yellow mango slush with  cassava pearls) and almond gulaman (jelly made from seaweeds) with lychees.  Kong was a bit disappointed though--he's allergic to eggs and I forgot to tell the waiter not to include eggs in making the 8 Treasure soup.  Pricing is pretty reasonable--we spent something like P400 per head.
