Food was surprisingly good and so was the service. Can't say much about the parking and ambience, though! Everything was relatively good, except for the hainanese chicken. It was just weird. The vegetables were overly cooked, but taste was still okay. Lumpia and gohoing were good, while the sweet and sour pork was just...okay, not to my liking, but some liked it.

My sister was craving for dumplings from Hugki Dumplings, so we decided to drop by for a quick lunch yesterday. Unfortunately, they were closed -- probably still on holiday break. 😅 We walked a bit further and to our relief, Maki Haus was open, so we went in. Maki Haus is the home of the Original Maki Soup, well, probably next to the Maki Places in Ongpin. 😊 Maki Soup is a thick Chinese soup that consists of tender pork cuts, garnished with some spring onion. It may be eaten on its own, or with noodles. Some prefer to drizzle some black vinegar in it, but I like it better on its own. Here's what we got for yesterday's lunch:✅ MAKI (Php 155 - Large) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This was a childhood favorite, so one sip of the soup already screamed nostaglia. 😁 I loved how their pork didn't have much extenders or flour breading on them, unlike some other maki places. The serving size is quite big, and can serve upto 4 people. It had more than 10 pcs of pork (yes, I counted 😂). The soup was super yummy, and is like a warm hug on a cold day! 🤗✅ OYSTER CAKE (Php 245) - ⭐⭐⭐I had high expectations for their oyster cake, because I remember liking it when we ate here a couple of years ago. Yesterday, I found it to be just okay. 😞 It was a bit too oily for my liking, and didn't have as much oysters as I would like. The quantity of the vegetables were a bit less than my expectations, too. Fat Fook's Oyster Omelette is still the best one I have tasted, to date. 🤗✅ SPINACH GARLIC (Php 185) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Okay I love this sooo much. I have recently taken a liking to eating vegetables -- not that I don't like them before... It's just that I like them even more now. 💕 It's actually quite expensive to order vegetable dishes in restaurants, and for some reason, their veggies are cooked better than how we do it at home. Their spinach are crisp, but didn't have those thick and tough parts that are hard to chew. The garlic brought a fragrant and wonderdul flavor to this healthy dish, and I can probably eat this all day. So yummy, refereshing, and healthy. 🌱✅ KIAMPONG RICE (Php 45) - ⭐⭐⭐Nothing beats my mom's kiampong, so I'm not a super big fan of this. 😂 Also, I do not like to have peanuts in my kiampong, but that's a personal preference. Their kiampong was flavorful, but was too plain for my liking. But I guess it's okay for a 45 per cup kiampong. 😊Service was okay, but since its a casual maki joint, servers aren't exceptionally courteous, but they're not bad. 😊 Food is served warm and didn't take a long time to be served to us. The ambiance was that of an upscale eatery. The tables are too close with each other, so as a courtesy to the fellow diners, make sure to keep your voices low when you speak to your companions. Overall, their Maki is something I would recommend to others, especially those who haven't tried this delicious dish yet. 💕#EatDrinkSplurge
