Ling Nam Offers Affordable House Specialties

It was another zomato.com meet up and this time we are invading the Ling Nam in Glorietta 2. It was amusing that day because I feel that I was lost and don't know where I'm working and when I enter into the establishment I am not certain if it's the restaurant that I am looking for so I need to go away again and went over.

Oh gosh! This is not happening to me for the first time and even they called me already I don't even notice. Anyway, I come to Ling Nam to try their food. To try their specialty, the noodles, dimsums and everything that they can serve to us.

As usual, I have named myself if am I a food, particularly a Chinese food I would be a Siopao.

I never realized that they would served their Siopao first, asado and bola. It was good... yes the flavor of asado and bola was there and nothing special in the food. I think their siopao would be great if they put more filling in the bun instead.

Next we have the Noodles, Beef wanton, Beef and Chicken Asado Noodles. I just tried the Beef Noodles and it was perfect for me because the noodles are good and the flavor was there, but you have to add pepper and fish sauce.

Their Pork Siomai was not the usual size of siomai it was a little bigger compare to other siomai house. Hakaw was good as well as the Ham Suy kok which is like a buchi while I am very amazed in the presentation of thei Dragon Shrimp Balls.

I though that we are done but Mr. Edwin says that we are not because we are just starting. Until they served the main dishes together with the Yang Chow Rice.

We have the Home-made Tofu with 3 kinds of Mushrooms, Beef Hofan, Lemon Chicken and Sweet and Sour Pork.

For me, my favorite in Ling Nam are the Beef Noodles, the Dragon Shirmp Balls, Hakaw, the Yang Chow Rice and the Beef hofan. I will give these food a 3.5 star.
