i was in binondo just two days ago and i just had to check out this place. i got directions from laga[og] and found it quickly.
i hadn’t had makimi in over a decade (it was always ha yuan), but the familiar smell and taste quickly brought me back to my student days in a chinese-school atmosphere. sarap!
but i especially loved the goyong. i’m really into quikiam & similar foodstuff, and SDK’s goyong was just terrific, with the radish achara on the side giving it a fresh finish.
babalik ako soon to try the other offerings.
great find.

dom, erick, masarap talaga magfoodtrip sa binondo rachel, sinabi mo pa! bagay sa rainy weather. lauren, thanks for the tip. will look it up next time. photo cache, i know what you mean. i used to jokingly call makimi as "malaway" but i ate it anyway. the pork smell is not that strong as the starch used for the viscous soup base tend to obscure the smell. donna, it's worth a try.

that’s the thing about some chinese food, the taste is a 100% better than it looks, which gives a faint at heart or finnicky eater a lot to miss.

i’m more of a dry noodle type of eater, but this one you feature is really tasty looking. i wonder if the pork smell in that dish is gone. sometimes kasi pork gets too porky, you know what i mean.

I miss Chinatown. There are certainly many great food finds in that area. Thanks for sharing these delicious looking dishes. That bowl of Shin Din Kha is perfect right now because of the weather. I’m fond of Buchi so I’m sure I will enjoy that Ham Soi Kok.
