The tradition of hand-pulled noodles has been a long standing concept in local Chinese restaurants, but most of these were specialized noodle shops operating out of the Binondo or Banawe area. This concept was first commercialized into the mall fast food scene by Mey Lin (circa mid-eighties), and their outlets proudly displayed the chef's talent in twirling, slamming and pulling dough into noodles.
Vicky and I visited their outlet at SM Megamall, and we tried both their noodle soup and their congee. The verdict? The noodle soups are truly their specialty--noodles are even and long (to signify long life), chewy, cooked just right, and the soup (we had beef broth) was very delicious--this is highly recommended. The congee was more like rice soup, and we had expected the thicker consistency of porridge or gruel. It was okay, but not as good as those of other shops that specialize in congee.
We had a bill under P400 so that means an average spend of P200 per person. The restaurant also has a wide variety of Chinese dishes, and their group menus are priced pretty reasonably at around P400 per head. Good place for group lunches--family, officemates or barkada.
