Let's crave for some Chinese food today.
Having accepted as a scholar to study in China for five months, I had been very fortunate. Not only because it has been a dream to study Mandarin Chinese and see the Great Wall of China, but also because my taste buds has an ongoing love affair for Chinese food.
Growing up in Manila, I had always been appreciative of the Chinese dishes I have eaten from various Chinese restaurants all over the city. Lucky me. I live near Binondo.
Have you heard of Lan Zhou La Mian in Benavidez St.?
Look here.
I first heard of this authentic Chinese restaurant from my Filipino-Chinese teacher who teaches at Confucius Institute at the Ateneo de Manila University. Since then, this place had been my favorite stop whenever I get the chance to go to Binondo. Their beef noodles are made from heaven. It's the bestseller. Affordable too. For almost a hundred bucks only, I think.
They offer unlimited condiments here. I particularly love the sweet plum sauce where I dip my favorite fried dumplings.OMG! I'm craving now while I'm writing this.
Here are the fried dumplings.Wow.
In my entire stay in China, I have developed a taste of what's authentic and what's trying hard. I can say that Lan Zhou La Mian's fried dumplings are even better than the ones I've eaten near Fudan University in Shanghai. And it's just a hundred bucks, I think, for a dozen of dumplings. Very affordable!
Enjoy the Northern China style of cooking noodles only in Lan Zhou La Mian at No. 819 Benavidez St., Binondo, Manila.
Enjoy!
