Lunching at Mr. Ube Rice and Noodle House

I have been craving for Mr. Ube's Japanese Shoyu for days but my lunch mate who is also fond of Mr. Ube has been pretty busy lately and it'll take a crowbar to separate her from her laptop. So when my friend Odette sent word that she's coming to Binondo for lunch, I immediately told her we'd go to Mr. Ube.

Long before I met its owner Gerry Chua, I was already going to Mr. Ube for lunch. When I first set foot in the small restau, I was impressed with the automatic sliding door --- this is so atypical of a Chinese restau in Binondo. Common for all Gerry's stores, the place is dominated by purple / ube colors. Two of my favorites are Lechon Macau and Mr. Ube's pancit version. One of my bosses, Sir Deny who's also a frequent customer, loves their Sukiyaki.

So anyway last Wednesday, Odette dined on Lechon Macau and Siomai while I was able to satiate my craving for Japanese Shoyu. Thanks Odette for footing the bill! :)
