Siomai, siopao, and other servings from a busy corner
It has always been a typical practice for mallrats to swarm food chains and restaurants alike when the clock ticks 12nn. The busyness of shopping is thus directed to places which offer a remedy for grumbling stomachs.
With this scenario, one restaurant is sure to deliver, dishing out mounts of delicious food servings: Mongkok Dimsum and Noodles.
Mongkok is one of the country’s top restaurants aimed at bringing the piquant flavors of Hong Kong to the country by offering sumptuous servings of Chinese food. Mongkok rises unique in the industry as it stays true to its name, which literally means “a busy corner,” satisfying the cravings of a large number of patrons.
Mongkok is envisioned to embody the quality taste of Hong Kong and to boost the popularity of Chinese food, specifically dimsum.
Having dimsum as a standout in their menu—over 40 varieties of dimsum are served in Mongkok, offering all-time favorites like the fried wanton and shark’s fin siomai, more voracious eaters are not to worry for Mongkok also dishes out soups, fried noodles, and full meals tagged “Chef’s Special.” How does beef broccoli in oyster sauce sound? Or, perhaps, steamed fish fillet with garlic, if you may.
To quicken its services, Mongkok uses the traditional Hong Kong style of serving dimsum: delectable treats go on wheels as they are peddled using a push cart in which customers can handpick any additional dish.
The push cart method complements the traditional Chinese ambience of the restaurant, also adding a touch of modernity catering to the customers’ comfort.
Recently, Mongkok celebrated its 8th year of operation. In line with this, Mongkok has launched several promos, one of which entitling the lucky winners to a trip for two to Boracay, to further their services and at the same time show gratitude to its patrons.
Thus far, Mongkok has already established 14 branches nationwide, the latest of which is located at the First Philippine Industrial Park in Sto. Tomas, Batangas. For further inquiries, please call 642-8323/642-7285.
