With the advent of the pearl drinks in the late 90s, this brand had the staying power that outlasted some of the pioneers of the Pearl drink.. though ZAGU is still there together with Quickly,SP_A1416 but the main difference is that they don’t use powder in their drinks. And they serve hot food.

Pearl drinksSP_A1415P45 each- made from fresh fruit puree. A definite thirst quencher.

Spicy squid- SP_A1419SP_A1421slices of squid breaded in their special breading then quickly deep fried to produce a delicious seafood crispy that both chewy and crunchy.  Ask for their  special powder and special sauce that compliments all their fried items perfectly

Chicken SteakSP_A1418SP_A1420- Boneless chicken piece breaded and fried then sliced.  Crispy on the outside, hot and moist and tender inside.

They have lot more food to offer now like  noodles and rice dishes. Everything is affordable. And they also have frozen items where in you can take home and fry these beauties yourself.

Banawe has a number of Taiwanese theme restaurants like Feng Wei Wei, Ersao, Tasty Dumplings and this place.

who doesn’t love a noodle house? Especially when it is raining, a bowl of hot noodle soup is the perfect meal

Beef Noodle Soup-Photo-0003 using those thick Taiwanese noodles, that resembles Japanese Udon, the broth was excellent and soothing, the beef was tender and give you hints of its marinade which I presume to be soy sauce, star anise, 5 spice powder. It didn’t over power the noodles.

Braised beef-Photo-0006 same as the ones used for the noodle toppings.  Tender and cooked well

Fried dumplings-  Photo-0001served with sweet and sour sauce, the fiiliing is primarily made from pork, the wrapper was beautifully crispy and was not oily at all. The filling tasted good.

Siomai-Photo-0002 big in size, but not big in taste

Orange Spareribs- Photo-0005 forgettable, tasted like orange concentrate on fried ribs

Chicken something—Photo-0004forgot the name, it was said to be one of their best sellers, don’t know why, didn’t taste too great

Kiampong Photo-0007– not a good version, MAKI haus has a better version of this dish

Come here for the noodles. But not for their short orders. They have a new line of dessert which looked interesting. Might give it a try nest time.Photo-0008
