onAre you one of those guests in kiddie parties who attack the kids’ buffet because they have ‘cooler’ food choices like party spaghetti, chicken lollipops, pork bbq and corndogs?

Sustainability and its artisanal production methods greatly hamper its yearly production but this may not be such a bad thing. At times it is quite refreshing to enjoy a spirit that is rustic, traditional and still produced …read »

onWhen it comes to eating spicy food or sauces, I have to admit that I am not as hard-core as Anonymous Paul. But, I do like to experiment with hot sauces especially those of the artisan breed.

onIt’s nice to see more artisanal cheesemaking happening in tropical Philippines. I’ve come across Tio Luca Artisanal Dairy’s products a couple months back. First sampling their extra thick, fatty and tart Greek style yoghurt. But I like cheese. And quite happily surprised they produced a few varieties. The freshest would be the ricotta. Their version …read »

onMetro Manila loves its alcohol, no doubt about it. But while the city remains a big beer lover — not surprising, as it’s one of the cheapest cities in the world to get beer — it’s refreshing to see our taste expand and grow beyond the usual bottle. This year, Metro Manila saw a lot …read »

how does this compare to Lan Zhou La Mien's hand pulled noodles? I've been meaning to try it there but always end up in some other place...

Hi Didi,
Have not been to Lan Zhou La Mien. In fact, I have not been to Binondo since taking Ivan Man Dy's Food Wok Tour - two years ago. Bad Foodie. :(

I'm a fan of Chinese food. I'll give this a try if I manage to find my way. I suck at finding places. :)

I was going to ask the same thing--about Lan Zhou in Binondo. You should try it! The beef noodles are really good. Cheaper too, at 90 pesos a bowl.

Hello Manila Girl. Try it and tell me what you think. :)
Hi AEC. I know. I know. I'm planning a trip to Binondo soon. And besides, I'm a sucker for noodles.
Hi Anon. No apologies necessary. We all can't like the same thing. That would be very boring. But I'm curious - where would you recommend I go?

Good to know there are more choices for la mian, but it's not just about the noodle, it's also important to have a good broth. Lanzhou la mian in Binondo is ok, the noodles are pulled to order (also try their knife cut noodles), but the broth isn't always flavorful. They do provide bowls of spring onions and cilantro leaves to top your soup with (or at least they did when I was there two years ago).
Now if only there was a decent dan dan mian place in Manila....
