Wuxiang

We had no time to cook for Monday lunch, so I told Vicky that we would order something quick, and we found the perfect place--the neighborhood Wuxiang restaurant is a sister restaurant of the Binondo-based Sincerity restaurant (I think the original restaurant is located along Nueva Street).  This place has a speed chef inside, so we were in and out in 20 minutes.  Both restaurants serve the same fried chicken recipe, with exactly the same serving cuts!  The chicken comes in a box (16 pieces to a box) that costs P300.  Be careful, it's super hot!

We also got some fresh vegetable lumpia (P45 each), but I found the taste on the sweet side, which isn't exactly my trip.  The oyster cake (P180) was gooey, chewy and tasty--thumbs up for this one!

It's a no-frills restaurant, but their selling point is that their recipes date back to the 1950s, surely a throwback to the comfort food of yesteryears.  Luckily, the food quality has been maintained throughout the years.  As a note to students of business administration and economics, you can see the difference in their traditional management style, as compared to the more recent versions of other panciterias, like Savory and Panciteria Lido (yes, these ones have evolved into mall-based fast-food chains).  Even without the fancy ambience, however, it's good old-fashioned Binondo food!
