ladies and gentlemen... pls bow your heads to the best noodle soup base in the world. tantananan (cheap ng sound production ko. hahaha)... CHAO LONG! it's a beefstock soup with rice noodles, and they give you togue, kalamansi and mint leaves so you control the taste. i swear the mixture of calamansi and mint, and that insanely rich beef soup is a concoction only thought by the gods. they also come in pork flavor. and as extra you can order medium size french bread with garlic spread (and this french bread is also very good, it's not too hard, but hard enough for you to feel its toastiness (yes, i just invented that word). chao long and french bread --- what a match made in heaven!
have i said i love vietnamese food? im sorry i may be patriotic and all, but pinoy food has never been my top choice if i were to be stranded in one country and im cursed to eat their food for the rest of my life. i would choose vietnamese without a single blink. it's their pho's, spring rolls, fried rice, vegetables, beef cubes, prawn chips, crabs, etc... that make me treat myself to a vietnamese restaurant quite often with or without company.
before going to puerto prinsesa i have visited some blogs and i stumbled into a blog of a backpacker and he highly recommended chao long. i told the tryke driver to take me to the best chao long place in town, and just as it may, he brought us to bona's chao long. he said the reverred mayor of PP is seen eating there. and true enough, there were so many people eating when we got there, and that's like 5pm! you know, it's that hour when servers are supposed to rest. it's after merienda, but too early for dinner. but behold, we were like the 10th person in line, and it took us half hour to wait for them to serve our food. and yes, the worth was definitely worth it. i think i've already established that on my first sentence. hahahaha!
