Quest for the Best (mami)

I am on a perpetual quest for the best mami to satisfy my taste buds.  And this search led me to one major contenders for the title.



Along Timog Ave., just a few minutes from where I work, is a quaint Chinese diner named San-seh Hand-pulled Noodles.  The name itself stirred my interest as a lover of noodles and pasta.

The location is quite intimidating, being at the hub of posh restaurants in the Tomas Morato-Timog district.  But it is a surprise to find out that the food is quite cheap, considering the generous serving.

My friend and I had Beef Wanton noodles, split into two big bowls for only P150.  It's heaven, I swear!  The sweet and salty taste of the mami is just the right mix.  Dumplings cost around P50, and 3 siopaos for only P55.  There are also rice toppings, the best seller is a big bowl of rice topped with Chinese adobo for only P120.

The interior of the resto is quite simple, similar to Binondo mami houses.  So if you want to experience a Chinese gastronomic treat that's affordable, San-seh is the place for you.
