We went to Old Chinatown Kopitiam to celebrate Joanne’s & Ronald’s Birthday. It was truly well attended as barkadas on both sides attended the celebration.
There were truly a LOT of food… and here are some of what we ordered:
- Maya Maya Soup (Php 558)

This one I love very very much! It tasted soooooo good! I’m not fond of soups w/ fish but this one I can’t resist. You must order this if you plan to order soup in Old ChinaTown Kopitiam.
- Mushroom Fried Rice (Php 298)

The birthday celebrants ordered quite a few variants of noodles.. and I can’t seem to distinguish one from the other hehehee
- Claypot Beef Kienchi (Php 228)

- Kopi Spareribs (Php 188)

When it comes to spareribs, I always prefer the salt & pepper one. So I didn’t appreciate this much though I must admit this tasted good too
- Hokkien Mee (Php 348)

I really love the soups of this restaurant. This one is advertised as a healthy soup. Meat were cooked with 16 herbs & spices… yummy
- Beef Char Kway w/ Bittermelon (Php 378)

I was extremely excited to try this dish but unfortunately, I was disappointed. I guess this is because I first tried this dish at Palm Beach (located in Fort)… I thought that it would taste the same.. I guess it’s really incomparable
- King Fish w/ Spicy Meat Sauce (Php 248)

I forgot to taste this! hahahaha I was distracted already coz we started taking pictures.
- Claypot Chicken Rice (Php 328)

- Chilled Almond (Php 48)

It’s more of a dessert than a drink, I always order almond juice if it’s available. In this case, I’d rather drink the service tea provided ehhehe
Overall, I still think that the food is really good. This was already my 2nd time here in the restaurant and I still feel that you can find better tasting food here. A must-try if you’re in Quezon City area.
wow…Singapore food. the char kuey tiaw and the bah kut teh are classics. it’s a bit pricey but still cheaper than a plane ticket to Singapore. 😉 I wonder about its taste. Authentic or Filipinized? =)
a combination of both.. you should try it 🙂
