i've always loved travelling to quiapo just to eat at this fabled restaurant. i don't mind the commute and traffic as i live down south just so i can feast on the siopao (bread with meat, egg, and sausages for fillings), noodles, and siomai (steamed ground pork or beef with vegetables wrapped in a thin egg wrapper). i remember when i was younger my grandfather would take me to quiapo church eve...

3 days ago
i'm putting this discussion here to get the ideas and suggestions of my fellow movie buffs. i'm finally able to clear space and get an entertainment room set up. nothing too fancy... lcd screen, blu ray player, surround system, video consoles, plus my dvd and video game collection. i'm planning to spice up the room with theater posters and i figure i can put in at least 10 or 12 posters (mounte...

hi mimiang. been awhile since i saw you here at mylot. how have you been?yeah, 'who wants to be a millionaire' seems to be a popular choice among mylotters here. can't blame them as it is fun to be there and the rewards is simply awesome. by the way, tried to join the local version of 'who want to be a millionaire' through texting, i was kinda surprised and saddened that the show has a c...

hi kdhartford!yeah, i also get my discussion ideas from news stories but i like to limit these to those events that actually affect me. so, really, i post about what is happenign here in my country and i seldom post about events that happen elsewhere in the world. i agree that getting the different viewpoints of other fellow mylotters will broaden one's horizon and in the end we can definit...

hi rg0205. sounds simple enough. yeah, random thoughts are great discussion topics as well. sometimes the most interesting topics are those that come out from left field. cheers!!!

hi rosekiss. yeah, that was my concern before but then i realized that getting other mylotter's view on the topic i posted is enough reward for me. in return i try to get back to them like what i'm doing now. i also try to put a good effort in trying to think of original and interesting topics so everyone will chime in and share their opinions and thoughts. cheers!!!

hi msfrancisco9369. yeah, i actually thought of this discussion when i had the craving for ma mon luk's siopao and noodles. i was plaaning to go there last friday but hesitated since i know traffic is heavy in quiapo during friday. i'll probably go there next week and indulge in ma mon luk's dimsum heaven. cheers!!!

hi mimiang. yeah, the quezon avenue branch is definitely cleaner than the quiapo branch but the quality and taste of food is just the same. the quiapo branch though has a lot of history. the restaurant's walls have mounted and framed news clippings and articles about ma mon luk and it's humble beginnings. it's a good way to kill the time while waiting for your order to be served. that's why ...

hi msfrancisco. the thought didn't occur to me until you mentioned it now. the traffic would really dampen the mood. not that i don't think manny pacquiao doesn't deserve the motorcade, he deserves all the accolades that he is getting. kudos to him! but to be in a traffic jam and sweat it out under the heat becuse of this motorcade is altogether a different story. anyway, yeah, i'll be th...

allen0187 received a best response in the discussion do you make a bet between Manny Pacuiao or Miguel Cotto by ybong007.

hi ybong007!!!yes i do bet on boxing matches especially matches by manny pacquiao. i'm unsure how many times i've place a bet on pacquiao but i'm sure that i've made a lot of cash from his fights. i always bet for pacquiao, never against him. i usually bet on a manny pacquiao outright win and a proposition bet on pacquiao to win by knockout. sometimes i bet on the over/under rounds but i se...
