The Fresh Posts

If you are looking for something hearty and you happen to be at Eastwood City, try having a freshly hand-pulled noodles at Noodles Everyday.

I often go to Eastwood City in Quezon City many times for number of reasons, and everytime I look for something to eat, the place never cease to offer me something new. New joint is opening up more frequent and old time favorites are always there to visit.

One lunchtime, my tastebuds craved for noodle soup, Ramen Bar at 1880 building is always my to go place, but not this time. I want to try something I've not had before. I checked the Food Junction and found "Noodles Everyday". They serve Chinese/Binondo style noodle dish and many old time favorites like siomai, siopao and sweet and sour pork. I don't browse the menu if I know what I already want so I immediately ordered the house brand "Noodles Everyday Noodle Soup". One thing I learned is whenever you are trying out a new place, always go for the dish with its name on it, that's what they are really proud of.

What sets this apart from other casual noodle place you see in the vicinity is, they make your noodles fresh and in front of you. Whenever new order comes in, new batch of dough is kneaded on a table and you can see it as it happen through a clear glass window. Seeing a handful of dough turning into your lunch right before your eyes is really something. Broth is poured, meat, garnish and spices are put in and my lunch is served.

Fresh noodles compared to the ready made is heavy to the stomach. The taste and texture is better, and is more starchy. The thickness of the noodles is good, pulled just right.

The beef broth is typical, the kind you have in any casual chinese resto, a little pungent but it actually adds to the flavor. Meat and sort of meat include chicken balls, siomai and beef. There are also Chinese cabbage and carrots. Serving size is more than enough to fill me up for the rest of the day. For P158, the lunch experience is good, the taste is foolproof for a noodle dish. I will definitely come back for another bowl whenever I happen to be in the area.

Tapsi ni Vivian
Tapsilog is pretty much the Filipino version of a full english breakfast. It consists of tapa (dried cured meat), sinangag (garlic fried rice), and itlog (egg). This is the most popular all- Filipino heavy breakfast you can find anywhere in the country.

Filipinos from all walks of life are fond of this meal. Almost every place you go, in any province, restos and carenderias you eat in have its own version of tapsilog. Amidst of all the craze, it's always good to go back where it all begin and pay homage to the person who started it all.
Vivian del Rosario, owned a small cafeteria at a parking lot in Quezon City back in the 80's. Her first patrons were mostly jeepney drivers looking for inexpensive lunch. Her place started with just lugaw (congee) until she experimented in combining fried rice, egg, and beef in a meal. And thus tapsilog was born.

Few decades after, the humble parking lot cafeteria is now a fullblown tapsilog and bulalo restaurant in Lauan St. Project 3 Quezon City. After all these years, Vivian still manage her restos hands on, and now has a 2nd branch in Marikina. It is open for 24 hours, perfect for those off-hour craving.

The Tapsilog combination may be the most popular one but it is only just the tip of the iceberg. Vivian is also the one to start tapsilog's alternative tocilog, tocino (honeycured pork) to replace the tapa.

Today, with countless versions of Tapsilog like Cornsilog (Corned Beef), Hotsilog (Hot Dog), Longsilog (Longganisa) it's just nice know that we still have the original.
