The pure-blooded themselves rated Mien San Noodle House as good as nearly authentic Taiwanese food. Ate here with my Taiwanese friend. So this review is my pahabol for October:
Just like in Korean restaurants, this Taiwanese resto also offer free appetizers from sweet chips, steamed lady's finger or okra and oolong tea.
Not a fan of healthTEA (bottom left), but you can't help it for Taiwanese and even Japanese restos.
After enjoying the sweet chips, I tried their Hot Sour Soup (Php 138) at the bottom right. It's cheap actually considering the serving good for 2-3. It's not as spicy but it was sour. Just found the combination to be a bit weird.
For my main dish, I had Sate Beef Chami (Php 208). Their Chami is good and the noodle is cooked just fine. It was also quite spicy that I think I'd be enjoying it more otherwise. No regrets though because the serving is good for sharing. So I told myself, "this is Taiwanese flavor, I used to just benchmark it at Dang Dee's"
