HONGKONG NOODLE BISTRO

Pork Siumai



Taste  of the pork is good enough though I think there is a funny aftertaste  with the skin of the siumai. While its good enough for me, it is nowhere  near the quality of some of the more popular dimsum places like  Causeway.


Xiao Long Pao (Soupy Pork Dumpling)



Soup inside the dumpling is a little thick that it comes off more as a sauce rather than a soup.


Beef Wanton Noodle Soup



Its  got a good flavor of beef, though a bit too subtle for me. (some may  even want a more beefy flavor). Well at least there is no oily  aftertaste. Noodles are really nice and firm to the bite.


Seafood Noodle Soup



Flavors  are a little subtle ...... actually too subtle that its more on the  bland side. The shrimps are quite difficult to eat as they are not  peeled yet. Noodles are firm enough but most of them are sticking to  each other. (it had me thinking, were the noodles for the seafood flavor  from a different batch??)


On a personal sidenote:

Me  thinks they stretched themselves too thin with regards to their food  offerings. If it was their intention to really showcase their noodles,  then they should concentrate more on the noodles. But if their intention  was to be just your usual "teahouse" ........ then they got a lot of  catching up to do.


Hongkong Noodle Bistro is located along N.  Amoranto St. (between Banawe and D. Tuazon). I can't remember the exact  location as I just found out about the existence of this place by  accident.
