6thStop #websitexABSCBN #HungerGames #AntipoloFoodCrawlAmong all the restaurants we've visited,  i was really excited for Mogu Tree.  Why?  I've dined x number of times at their Lilac branch and i love their laksa.The Antipolo branch is 10 times better than Lilac.  It looks new and has excellent lighting.  This is the same size as the sister branch,  i count 6 tables.  Same set-up as the other branch... Care for some do-it-yourself noodles?  Yes please!Mechanics.Choose your NoodlesPick your Topping (4 pieces)Select your Broth¶ Pork Chicken Stock (Php 168)¶ Laksa (Php 198)¶ Tonkotsu Shoyu (Php 210)Sounds easy?  Not really,  especially on the Toppings Part.  Waves of indecisiveness will hit you point blank when you see the myriad choices they offer. The wonderful people of MT made our lives 10x easy by making the tough call.  They took cake of the picking x choosing.  And yes,  laksa is one of them. Grub¶ Laksa¶ Pork and Chicken Noodle Soup¶ Pork Asado¶ Spareribs with Taosi¶ Chicken Feet¶ Hakaw¶ Pork SiomaiI will only review Laksa as this is the only one i tried.  Let us start this with a lil history lessonLaksa is a popular spicy noodle soup in the Peranakan cuisine, which is a combination of Chinese and Malay cuisine. Laksa consists of rice noodles or rice vermicelli with chicken, prawn or fish, served in spicy soup, either based on rich and spicy curry coconut milk, or based on sour asam (tamarind or gelugur). It can be found in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Southern Thailand.Source: WikipediaIt will not come as a surprise if i tell you that i love MT's laksa.  The broth is the star of the show.  It is rich and very flavourful.  I taste coconut milk,  curry and tamarind.  The flavor is balanced,  you get to taste all of the elements.  The only beef i had is that it is not spicy enough.  The rest of the gang had the same sentiments about the laksa.  You may take "bias"  of the table. Mogu Tree is a sweet ending to the Food Crawl.  A bowl of steaming,  flavorful laksa to seal the deal.Thank you,  Mogu Tree for your generosity.Thank you,  website.  Here's to more food crawls and calories!Peace Out!~Reich

We dropped by this place after visiting a museum in Antipolo. At first, we thought the place was closed since it appeared dark from the inside due to the tint from the glass but luckily we still tried to dig in.So the place was okay although the aircondition was turned off during our visit. It was a thursday noon and we are the only customers that time so we were at least expecting that they'd turn it on once we started to dine. But they didn't.But we came here for the food. So setting that aside, I'd say that my friends and I were very satisfied with our orders. The flavor was rich and one serving size can even pass for two! We left the place with happy tummies.

Me and my sister went there for a late dinner. I love the idea of this noodle restaurant. We got there late, around past 9pm. We didn't expect the toppings bar to be full coz it's almost their closing time, but still, there are a lot to choose from. Mozzarella cheese balls are my favorite topping. And the soup is served boiling hot. I would appreciate it though if we were informed that the egg can be hard boiled, you just have to wait for a few more minutes. That could have made the experience better.When we got there, there were two customers. Before we left, the place is full of customers. Ganon ata talaga kami ng ate ko pag magkasama kami. Haha
