I am not sure if there is such a thing as addiction to food but I am sure it is not gluttony because we are not over-indulging and over-consuming food and drink, or intoxicants to the point of waste. Instead we just love discovering new dishes featured in various restaurants every time. We love to discover why certain restaurants are loved by the people and why their foods keep people coming back.

Like what happened last weekend when we decided to have our lunch in the very old timer, well known restaurant called Ma Mon Luk. I remember the 80s when I was still a kid when I was in my grade school years. Every time I would have a vacation here in Metro my uncle used to visit us every week and he used to bring us pancit and siopao from his favorite restaurant Ma Mon Luk.

After more than 20 years I thought it is already close until it was featured again on TV. So my wife and I decided to visit it especially since my in-laws decided to join us in dining at Ma Mon Luk.

It’s great to experience the feeling of having your food in one of the oldest and well known restaurants in the Philippines. Not only was my stomach filled but my heart as well. If this is an addiction to food, then I will not bring myself to have rapid detox.
