Allan's Food Kiosk may not ring a bell but if I'd say it's the resurrection of Tarzan Magic La Mien noodle place, then let's do the food talk. It was a shock more than one year ago that this restaurant that specializes in hand-pulled noodles closed down its branch along Calle Real. I can't help but miss their very good freshly made noodles that you can see being hand pulled from their kitchen.
But by a stroke of luck, fellow foodie Mr Eugene Jamerlan, discovered this newly opened restaurant along Valeria Extension (street) to be the "reincarnation" of our favorite noodle house. Allan's Food Kiosk is just opened a few days ago and it is located in the former site of Emperor's Wok. Just a block away from Marymart Mall and SM Delgado.
But as they are experiencing (re)birthpains as of now, their hand pulled noodles are not yet on the menu. But good thing our other favorite was ready when we dropped by there today. Their yummy Oyster Cake was another reason we frequented it before. Though it may not look the same as before, but it was a perfectly delicious gastronomic "Christening" of the place. It was even made more delicious by the "sugar-pepper" sauce that it came with. Though I'm not a big fan of oysters (yeah, curse me - lol) but I really enjoyed every forkful of this oyster today.
And the owner was there today and after a few introductions and memory recalls, we had our Oyster Cake on the house - thank you, "Mr. Tarzan". Certainly this won't be the last, as we really look forward to the return of the noodle dishes and a lot more. Burp!
