north park noodles

north park is one of the go to places of chefs after they close their kitchens and i seriously understand why.
from their noodles, congee, rice meals and dimsum you will find something that will satisfy your chinese food obsession.
my go to in north park is their lechon macau over fried rice but this post is about their aniseed beef tendon with rice.
for me this dish is the epitome of something sinful. the melt in your mouth tendon with the savory sauce and the hot rice is like the perfect bite. i add a touch of calamansi to the tendon to give it a little acidity.
seriously one of the best meals i had this week 😊

i ordered food for delivery thru phone last mother's day as a surprise to my mom. service was fast considering it was mother's day and the rider was courteous. we had china chicken, aniseed beef tendon braised noodles on hong kong style noodles, three mushroom noodle soup in whole wheat and broccolli in oyster sauce. originally ordered kailan in oyster sauce but it wasn't available that night. paid almost 900 php for four dishes. we were satisfied overall. oh and one thing i like about np is that they also sell the noodles, either fresh frozen or fried. i bought the empress noodles (48.50/100 grams) and they were bery flavorful!

but i just can't understand why i wasn't advises about the delivery charges. i thought that you just have to order a minimum amount for delivery but when i checked my receipt there was a delivery charge.

i haven't eaten at north park for a long time. it was one of my go to place when i'm craving for some chinese. food is still good. i ordered ny favorites (salted garlic squid, yang chow fried rice, lechon macau and boneless fried chicken chops) it is still yummy but i think it wasn't freshly cooked. it's like it's preheated or something. nonetheless, it is still worth every penny i spent. definitely, recommended

the quality of their food is comparable to more expensive chinese restaurants like gloria maris. vegan/vegetarian friendly. nice that they serve free tea too!

their siopao is good. the noodle soup was amazing for me, i really like it. for regular size, the toppings on the noodles is well worth the money compared to other noodle soups i tried in antipolo. i like the idea of getting to choose which type of noodle i want for my meal.

ordered pork barbecue asado, manchurian calamares & yang chow rice. i like the sauce on their asado. their serving size has dwindled smaller through the years. service was commendable.

please forgive me for another long overdue post. i'm just trying to cross out each one of my backlogs. :d part of the series of the pre-birthday celebrations that i had was another lunch out with my family. it was actually an impromptu lunch out. i guess daddy was just feeling a little lazy to cook that time that he decided to eat out. i already knew that we will have to dine at a chinese restaurant, as that is the only cuisine that somehow keeps up with my daddy's meticulous palates. :) good thing the chinese food choices within antipolo are already expanding. we now also have north park here in our place. yay! i've already tried eating at other north park branches and i loved the food and i knew that my family would also love it here. :)

we were greeted by their staff when we arrived and one of them ushered us to our seats. there were just a couple of diners that time so we had the liberty to choose a perfect spot. mommy and daddy took charge of the menu. daddy got an order of their light wanton to fuel up his tummy for the feast. i got to have a few sips and i loved that there was a generous amount of wanton. the hot soup had the right amount of saltiness which blended well with the sweetness of the petchay and noodles. the spring onions also added color and texture to the dish. it was indeed a great starter! even jaoey enjoyed sipping the soup and slurping the noodles! :d

we ordered ultimate superior bowl(everything on it) good for 2 pax for php250+ it's flavorful and worth it. kikiam with radish and sweet and sour sauce my friend's fave php98, chow mien for me beacuse i was in the mood for pancit guisado, it had lots of mushrooms i mean a lot and not enough veggies😕.... i highly recommend what i usually order ns11 fresh prawn dumpling aniseed beef tendon👌

here are what we had:
* light wanton
there was a generous amount of wanton. the hot soup had the right amount of saltiness which blended well with the sweetness of the petchay and noodles. the spring onions also added color and texture to the dish. it was indeed a great starter!
* china chicken
although the china chicken didn't look appetizing, it's taste compensated for its of appeal. the skin, which jaoey loved, was very crispy and not too oily. add the tender and juicy meat which was cooked to perfection with that distinct chinese taste (from star anise as what my palates suggested), this dish was, with no doubt, a hit!
* chow mien
another hit was the chow mien. the generous serving of different kinds of meat (fish, pork, kikiam, and shrimps) and veggies (button and shiitake mushrooms, pechay, and carrots) on a bed of perfectly cooked thin egg noodles swimming on a well-seasoned sauce, made our tummies jump out of joy. although i still don't personally like saucy pancit canton, i must admit that north park's chow mien was so good!
* chicken feet
i know i may sound biased, but i still haven't tasted any chicken feet dish that tastes like, or just comes close to, what my daddy does. north park's version is tender and well-seasoned though. :)
* siomai
north park's siomai was just as bland tasting as it looks. it's just not as appetizing as how it looks in the menu. it was a bit dry and hard to chew. i didn't taste the shrimp too but good thing it also didn't taste like flour.
* yang chow fried rice
the yang chow, though the serving was generous with equally generous amounts of toppings, wasn't also a hit. although i loved that it wasn't oily and it was very flavorful, we all didn't like that it had too much carrots, which felt very weird to the bite. the carrots were somewhat raw and crunchy, which felt like as if we're eating over-fried or dried rice grains.

there were a lot of misses, or at least with the dishes that we got, but we still enjoyed our lunch. thanks to the china chicken and chow mien, and to our server who was very attentive and jolly, for saving the day. :p

they should consider giving out deliveries.

update after 3 years. yes they do deliver now.

all time favorites are the beef brisket noodles and siopao. first time we order the north park special fried noodles and we didnt know it was good for two to three persons. it was good as expected.
