San Guo La Mien at Lucky China Town Mall in Binondo, Manila​​​​​​​

Handmade Chinese noodles made of heavy dough are known as Lamian or commonly called Lamien here in Manila. Restaurants offering this dish are popular in this area. Since the dough is pulled/stretched by hand into strands, they are served perhaps twice as long as your usual spaghetti strands. They are heavier too. The taste and seasoning are well-balanced for both the soup and stir-fry noodles. The beef variety for both is the top seller. I just love the blend of tomatoes, peanuts roasted with the skin, and tender and fatty beef in the stir-fried lamien!

The restaurant is usually full of diners from the morning all the way to night. I've eaten here for brunch, lunch, and late dinner. One order can be good for two if you want a light meal. There is no service charge, so leave a tip for the attentive service staff.
