Last Sunday my wife asked me if we could have our weekly grocery in Shopwise hypermart since they don’t have parking fees and sometimes there’s  a lot of snacks and drinks on sampling sprees — from breakfast cereals, chocolate cookies, noodle soup, juices, coffee, wine and yes, ice cream.

But since I don’t take my breakfast and I was not feeling well that time, I wanted to have a congee meal first. For some reason, I suddenly became hungry that morning. Lucky I saw a small booth of Mongkok at the ground floor. There is a lot of food both at the ground floor to choose from and shawarma is one of my favorites there.

Going back to Mongkok I was lucky that morning because of Mongkok congee and beef siopao allevaiated my hunger pangs. I wish I could visit the original Mongkok restaurant in Greenhills to have a taste in their beef and vegetable fried noodles.

Monkok Menu

We always love to eat in Super Bowl of China. My wife was the one who introduced me to this Chinese restaurant when Denice and I were still not married then. Everytime I would visit her in Manila we would always have our date in Super Bowl. I will never forget the menu she made me try and these remain the dishes I keep ordering until now; crispy noodles with beef brisket, beef broccoli, lemon chicken, fried chicken and their fried rice with salted fish. Since then we still keep on coming back to the restaurant. I fell in love with its crispy noodles since noodles are really my favorite dish eversince. My Japanese blood could also be the reason why I love noodles so much.

Every time we have visitors, friends and relatives from the province we always recommend Super Bowl because foods there are delicious and not as pricey as the other restos. Service is also fine, you get your order in no time even when we have to wait for how many minutes before we could have our table ready. This is because they usually have long lines of customers lining up especially during lunch and dinner time.

I’m just sad that the restaurant doesn’t serve our favorite crispy noodles nowadays. I also visited their sister restaurant Big Buddha and unfortunately, it’s not served anymore in that place either.

Just hoping that the management or the owner of Superbowl of China and Big Buddah will serve it again…please!
