Oi! Hong Kong Style Noodles

I was in Harrison Plaza yesterday and I chanced upon this small yet attractive foodstall inside shopwise.

It's called "Oi! Hong Kong Style Noodles" I'm not much of a noodle fan so, I don't easily get to like noodles. After buying a few groceries, being the curious little me, I finally tried this brand.

Being the third brand I've tried ever since the fried noodles phenomenon started, I've noticed a few differences versus the other brands.

First, their noodles are fatter and tastier. It's white in color unlike the others which uses yellow colored noodles. You get the feel of the real noodle taste unlike their competitors which feels and tastes like, errr, instant noodles.

Second, their sauces are much tastier. In a previous brand I tried, their sauces are watery. let's put that into context. I scoop 10 table spoons of teriyaki sauce on other noodle houses but in Oi noodle house, 3 tablespoons is enough.

3rd, the viand, which in this case is the siomai, is so-so but, much better than the others! You can also choose from different dimsums like sharksfin dumpling or siomai.

At just 26 pesos, you get to taste their yummy noodles, 2 pcs siomai and an unlimited number of their flavorful sauce which includes teriyaki, soy lemon, sweet chili, chili and soy.

Do check out some of the photos below I took using my phone.

Mile-hi Diner

Ondoy left a week ago already but he left a remembrance to us, one way or the other.

After leaving SM centerpoint because of the terrible smell I never imagined in my wildest dreams existed.

I went to a restaurant named mile-hi diner. We were planning to eat at Joey Pepperoni Pizzeria but unfortunately, it was closed.

After entering mile hi diner, the place itself didn't smell bad so I was thinking that they already had a major renovation.

I also interviews the waiters and asked how high the flood in their place is. The waiter said that it was a bit higher than their tables. Immediately, I had second thoughts but still gave it a shot.

When I sat on their chairs, water with bubbles squished out if it and we, without giving third thoughts already left.

Here is my point. You are a restaurant. You need to make sure everything is clean and you must maintain a good hygeine in all your furnitures.

That is the reason why Joey Pepperoni is closed. At least they are honest.
