Winner Beef Wanton Mami in Charlie Wanton Special

One of the things I love about Saturdays lately is Yan and I get to tick something off our wedding checklist while spending QT together getting the chance to explore different restaurants along the way.

We always pass by this humble Chinese restaurant called Charlie Wanton Special when we transverse the San Juan route which is Yan's favorite route on a weekend going north. Yan said it should be good because there are lots of vehicles parked in front of it every time we pass by. We always tell ourselves we'll go there one of these days. One Saturday after some errands for our wedding in the area, we finally went to Charlie Wanton Special and tried their best-seller Beef Wanton Noodle Soup, and the giant siopao.

And we can say it's simply one of the best Beef Wanton Mami we've ever had! The price is reasonable, the serving huge. Regular bowl is P155 and Special is P175 (bigger bowl).
However, I couldn't say the same for their siopao. It's fine, but there's nothing really special about it that I can brag about.

Charlie Special Wanton has a small private room with a big round table which can sit 15 pax maximum for small gatherings or a big family lunch/dinner. No minimum spend required, you just have to reserve it in advance.

Charlie Wanton Special is a small Chinese restaurant in Mandaluyong which serves one of the best Beef Wanton Mami we've ever had.

Here's another reason why we love hidden unpretentious restaurants. ♥
