Best Maki in Manila


One of my favorite comfort food is Maki, which is a Chinese noodle dish with a sweet and very sticky sauce. There used to be Han Yuen (am not sure if that is the correct name) at SM food court in Shoe Mart Cubao that served a very tasty version of this dish. But the food court has since closed down with the renovation of Shoe Mart Cubao.

Then recently I read in the Menu column of Margaux Salcedo in the Sunday Inquirer magazine about this new place in Greenhills offering this sticky noodle dish.

And this made my taste buds crave once again for maki. So I checked out this place called Maki House located at Sekai Center, Ortigas Avenue, San Juan. My verdict, the maki is even better than the one I used to have at Han Yuen. A big bowl cost P110 and it is so filling and good. It can actually be shared by 2 people if you are not that hungry or if you are having another dish to go with it.

The place has 2 versions: the original maki with just pork and the sticky sauce; and the the makime with pork, sticky sauce, and mami noodles. I prefer the original maki.

So if your in the Greenhills area, and you want to have something simple and yet delicious and filling, check out the Maki House. It is in same building where Masuki (a Binondo favorite known for its original Ma Mon Luk mami) is located.
