Ma Mon Luk Special Siopao

At the moment: sneezing and itching


I think I have allergies. I just don't know from what. Yes... My whole left leg is itching like bloody fuck and I'm sneezing and snivelling like a messy fucktard (thanks to iT2m for the term).

Yes... fuck. fuck. fuck. Allow me to curse, I am suffering here.

But even if I'm suffering, I would still, by God, post in this little blogspace of mine.

Let me muse about Ma Mon Luk ladies and gentlemen. There's about 2 branches left standing in the Philippines, one in Quiapo and one in Banawe. And if you haven't heard of it or you're too young to have heard of it, I highly suggest you try eating there. Just try the usual combo: mami at siopao. You don't have to be adventurous and try their chicken, just the usual mami and siopao would do.

There is something magical about Ma Mon Luk. Maybe it's the fact that the place looks like a run-down factory.

The moment you step inside you'd think you just went back to Cubao back in the early 90's. Not just Cubao but effing CUBAO SHOEMART! COD even! Gah.... To old-timers who read my blog, you know what I'm talking about guys. Inside Ma Mon Luk, people seem to magically change into early 90's costumes. Straight cut jeans, colorful blouse prints and BIG hair.. you can practically hear Sharon Cuneta sing "Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas" in the background.

I am so not exaggerating.

Their Mami at Siopao would friggin kick you to gastro-heaven! It's a bit costly for something so staple like mami and siopao but it is seriously, SERIOUSLY good. The siopao particularly sent tears to my eyes when I sank my teeth on it. I used to think Hen Lin made the best siopao... but now I know, Ma Mon Luk beats them by a mile. Their siopao is not only goooood, it's freakishly HUGE too! What more, tell me dear friends, what MORE can you ask for?

Julian: Hey do you know the controversy Ma Mon Luk had to go through about their Siopao?
Me: Yeah.. that it was made from cats right?
Julian: Yeah..
Me: *pauses for a bit* Well.. I didn't know cats tasted so good! I just might take care of a few..
Julian: hahaha!!



I would've posted how the siopao and mami looked like but I think I "accidentally" devoured it ALL before clicking the shutter button.


P.S.
If you're suffering from itch-attacks like me, KATINKO is like heroin. It feels so goooood you want to keep applying it even if it doesn't itch anymore.. yeaaahhhh....

My parents have awesome stories about that place. I think I had my first siopao when I was in high school, wasn't really fascinated with those when I was a kid. Nonetheless, I would have loved to get a grip on that Ma Mon Luck special before I left. Maybe when I come visit home.

Wow. Ma Mon Luk. Brings back memories of my childhood (yes, I'm that old).

I still catch myself looking for this restaurant every time I pass by Aurora blvd.

I loved window shopping in C.O.D. Lalo na during December to watch their automated Christmas show sa labas ng bldg. Sigh.
