Restaurant review: Mu Noodle bar Glorietta Makati City

Small place with simple design. Small menu but good food!

I visited Mu Noodle bar in Glorietta last June 2013.  I forgot to take pictures, but here is one from wanderwithmee.  The place looks calm with clean lines and mostly black furniture. Their menu only has 2 pages, but the dishes were well presented.

We ordered their Seafood Chao Mein, extra soy sauce based soup and extra egg.  The Chao Mein was delivered promptly and most pleasing of all was that their shrimp and squid were cooked to perfection!  The extra soup was a perfect complement to the noodles. Extra egg is only actually half an egg, but it went well in the soup.

The meal was not more that P300, and good for 2 not-so-hungry girls.  I would definitely come back again to try their other dishes.

One thing about the Glorietta restaurant, they have seats lined up on the wall, and many of the customers take seats there.  There are high seats and tables in the center of the restaurant, but nobody likes sitting there.  You will often find the seats on the wall full, but the higher stools empty.  Customers tend to choose another restaurant if only the high seats are available.

Chocolate chip cookie science

 Some nights you just want to have a light dinner and then retreat to your comfy bed and relax for the rest of the evening, but then you start watching Man VS. Food and hunger strikes. Don't you wish you had a jar of cookies to reach for?

For the next two weeks, I will be experimenting with chocolate chip cookies recipes to see which mix of ingredients will bring me THE chocolate chip cookie.

I want a big, fat, crisp on the outside chewy on the inside, chocolatey bite.  Thanks to Bakerbettie, I will be mixing bread flour and regular flour, brown sugar and white sugar, and putting quality chocolate and maybe even a bit of cornstarch or graham crackers.

I want my cookies to look like this



and not like this
