Revisit: Mien San Noodle House

 

It’s been a long time since I last visited Mien San. Before foodie folks started hankering for Japanese ramen bowls, Taiwanese Beef Noodles had the reign over steaming hot bowls, especially for a lot of Fil-Chinese folks. I revisited an old but reliable noodle house in Gilmore-Santolan area since my friend Ace’s first love is really beef noodles prior to conversion to ramen.

Taiwan is famous for it since it is literally littered with noodle houses.

Taiwanese Beef Tendon Noodles Php 288

The bowl was generously filled with tender braised beef that shreds effortlessly. Tendon pieces also abound that add so much unctuous flavor and texture into the flavorful clear with a shade of brown broth. Noodles are slightly firm giving an alternate feel to every bite.

Mien San still remains consistent with their Beef Noodle bowl. Ace was a very happy camper and it was his first time to try Mien San.

Sauceria Restaurant, Artisan Dishes and Sauces

 

The night after the Sales Rally at Eton Centris, Bubba and I dined at Sauceria Restaurant.  Whenever we come from Araneta or somewhere Quezon City or Libis, we pass by Sauceria on the way home.  We’ve been meaning to drop by for months but only able to finally make a visit last February 9.
