My mom has this habit of calling me whenever she is pleased with something. So one time, she called me and this is how it went: (in semi-Chinese so I translated it)
Mom: You have to try this Chilled Green Tea Taho at Kanzhu Hand-Pulled Noodles!
Me: Oh where is that?
Mom: Here in San Juan.
Me: I don't how you ended up there but I have no intention of going to San Juan (we live in Manila!) for some dessert. Please just bring one for take home.
Mom: Of course, we can't bring it home. It's so good! Yum yum yum!
Me: Okay mom. Anything else?
Mom: No, that's all good bye.
So when my friends and I were strolling SM Manila for lunch, I insisted that we try Kanzhu Hand-Pulled Noodles.
It's a very spacious place with large wooden tables with matching wooden benches. They also had a fast WiFi and a nice Chinese playlist.
Food
Noodle Soup
The Braised Beef Noodle Soup is delicious! The braised beef was fragrant and tender which goes really well with the broth. Indeed, you can tell from the texture that their noodles are freshly-made and hand-pulled. I've always preferred hand-pulled noodles which is probably why I used to frequent Mey Lin for their Hot and Sour Noodle Soup. Well, "used to" because when they expanded to various malls, their quality became inconsistent to my disappointment so I never came back.
The Sliced Beef Noodle Soup is has milder broth and a bit tougher meat despite the thin slice.
If you like spicy dishes, you can add some chili oil that's available on the table.
The Mixed Seafood Noodle Soup is quite tasty and generous in terms of toppings. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with this since the fish fillet tasted slightly sour. I think they used an old stock. =( I didn't bother to complain because we were in a rush since it's only a short lunch break. On the bright side, I didn't encounter any stomach-ache. But still, the sourness really messed up the great tasting broth and spoiled the experience.
Dessert
Finally, my real agenda for that lunch visit is the Chilled Green Tea Taho. I wished they didn't serve it with the syrup and sago. It was overpowering the Chilled Green Tea Taho. I was literally scooping out the sago just so I can enjoy the delicious taho itself. I went home a bit disappointed then my mom told me that it was served separately during her visit so she didn't even put some. I'll probably request that on my subsequent visits.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
If you're looking an affordable hot noodle soup, Kanzhu Hand-Pulled Noodles is a great choice. Their pricing fits the budget right. The service is also very good! The staffs are very courteous and friendly.

Qian Do Lami Hand Pulled Noodles recently opened along the busy streets of Malate in addition to the clubs, hotels, casinos and other restaurants. While there are many establishments to dine in, we were very eager to try Qian Do Lami Hand Pulled Noodles because there is hardly any restaurant in the area that serves fresh hand pulled noodles.

I have observed that their customers are from all walks of life. Some customers are foreigners while the others are locals who are even wearing their comfortable homey clothes.

The Braised Beef Lami was a satisfying bowlful of braised beef chunks, vegetables, hand pulled noodles and green onions. The noodles are firm and chewy. The broth tasted a bit sweet and savory from the braised beef with hints of herb and spices. Every lami order also comes with a choice of drinks: Coffee, Milk Tea or Ice Tea. Too bad the Milk Tea was not available during our visit so I had to settle with Iced Tea.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Qian Do Lami Hand Pulled Noodles is a good place to go for a satisfying quality meal. The meals they offer are really cheap that it can even compete with the prices of fast food chains. If ever we end up in this side of the area, we will definitely drop by here again to try out their other offerings. I'm looking forward to trying more of their Donbei Dumplings. This is indeed a good find for us.
