FOODIE: North Park

on Monday, April 4, 2011
May naisip na akong gawin sa blog na 'to.

I love food. I would die for food, that's why i'll make this a food blog. Hehehe. That would be fun.

So last night, I was craving for Chinese food and where else would I eat if not at my mostest favoritest (extreme superlatives, eh?) Chinese resto. North Park. I was introduced to it I think, way back in high school. Ever since I've had a torrid food affair with the restaurant.

Sabi nga ng nanay ko, "dyan ka nanaman kakain? nakakasuka na." hehehe

So anyway, my mom's somewhere in the Visayas enjoying her summer vacation and the like, she can't do anything about me eating there. I asked wifey and angel to come with me.

We went to mass first and then we decided to go to Glorietta. So, it was North Park Glorietta 5. There were a lot of diners probably because it was a Sunday night, baka pumunta din sila dun kasama ng families nila.

Anyway, we ordered the following:
a. Lechon Macau over Fried Rice
b. Siomai
c. Noodles in soup with Nanking Beef - Hong Kong style
d. Lumpiang Shanghai
e. Four Seasons and Cold Soy Milk


We ordered a lot for two and a half (angel baby) people. Everything tasted great. You should try the Lechon, it was really crispy, one issue though it was extremely fatty; I should have expected that from Lechon. It was SHINY!

The siomai was a bit dry, I think that's an issue with this resto; i've been dining here for quite some time and have tried other branches, it's not consistent. Some branches serve really moist siomai, i like the ones with the really soft shells.

The Nanking Beef noodles was impeccable. You should always insist on HK noodles; unless you want to try green noodles or brown noodles. I did try them before and nothing beats a classic.

The Lumpiang Shanghai was so-so. Nothing great and nothing to complain about. So overall, we spent 701 for a dinner that would be enough for 4 people.

Another thing, they should be more efficient, everything came in a little late and the dining area was extremely chaotic as the servers were running around ALL the time. 

RATING: 3 out of 4 stars
