I went to Divisoria in Manila to canvass for low cost school supplies that we will give away for our upcoming outreach. Exhausted with so much walking and hunting for suppliers, I asked a security guard if he has a supplier in mind nearby where I can try. He pointed me to a street in front and told me to turn left, cross the next street and turn left again. The first turn brought me to Lucky Chinatown where I discovered this Fudao Sate Noodles. It is one of the food stalls lined up along the grounds of Chinatown Walk. It is between Lucky Chinatown Mall and the Annex building. I had been into this place more than 20 years ago and I can no longer remember how it looked back then. It seem so strange to me now.
I was intently watching the crews then I realized the soup is already prepared in a large pot. All they have to do is fill the bowls with noodles and other toppings. That tells me that the taste will be the same for all types in the bowls. The only difference will be on your choice of toppings.
Finally, my bowl is ready! While the crew was pulling the chop sticks out that was only when I realized I haven't practiced the sticks for a long time. Darn! ๐
The noodle soup was as yummy as it looks. I was very full that I was not able to finish all the soup. But certainly, I finished the noodles, the dumplings and of course, the shrimps! Please do not ask me back as to how I finished the shrimp with the sticks. Just try to imagine: the struggle was real! ๐
Overall, Fudao Sate Noodles was a great discovery. The food was great, the price was right and the place looks neat and clean in spite of it being in a walkway.
Sometimes it is really worth getting lost in a place that you are not familiar with. That gives you the opportunity to discover something new and something great that is worth a revisit.
Now, I gotta go continue hunting for suppliers. What did the security guard say again? Cross the street and another turn to the left... ๐
