Ma Mon Luk

If you want some best tasting special mami and siopao experience that is already written in history, go to Ma Mon Luk...

Old Ma Mon Luk Resto

Ma Mon Luk was the person who brought Mami and Siopao to the Philippines from mainland China. Hardworking Ma Mon Luk came to the Philippines in search for greener pastures and sold siopao and mami to college students. Before, mami was called “gupit” because Ma Mon Luk would have to cut chicken strips into the miki noodles and soup when someone buys from him. Mami came from Ma and Mi. Ma was taken from Ma Mon Luk and Mi means “his recipe”. So Mami actually means Ma Mon Luk’s recipe!

Before going home from Quezon City Memorial Park, we dropped by R. Ma Mon Luk to buy their famous Mami and Siopao for our "merienda" and "pasalubong" for Mommy and Daddy. The Siopao is stuffed with meaty fillings. I was hesitant to eat because I'm on a diet... but after a small bite at mama's Bola Bola, i couldn't help but get a whole one for myself. It taste great even without the sauce...
