Masuki - Omaha

Our favorite authentic and classic chinatown Mami Masuki!!! This is my mom and I's favorite mami place. The mami comes with separated siopao sauce that is used to add flavor to the soup! (otherwise its gonna be tasteless) We always order the Special size Beef noodles and ask them to serve it in 2 bowls hehe And this is also how I learned to add hot sauce to my noodles because they don't have chili oil or any other chili aside from the hot sauce. at first I find it weird but now I LOVE IT!!! Plus their Asado siopao is a must try my favorrrriiiiite!

One regular mami split into 2. This is a classic from Manila Chinatown. I'll share some not so secret: add some siopao sauce into the soup to add more flavor! This always hits the spot whenever i'm feeling under the weather.

After a very long while, finally, I was able to eat at Masuki. You see, the brand guested in our TV show a year ago and the owner extended an invitation for me to visit which, unfortunately, took me this long to do. Masuki Restaurant was everything I imagined it to be. Once you step inside, it was an entirely different world. Simple interiors, bright white lights, dining area being manned by servers, though not trained to be polished and skilled waiters, are experts at what they do. The place was not immaculate but clean enough and the air was thick with that Chinese “smell” unique to eateries found in Avenida, Manila. I may be exaggerating with my descriptions but that was how Masuki struck me. Beautifully iconic. The Wonton Chicken and Asado with the sweet sauce we finished in record time together with the bigger-than-usual Siomai pieces. The Taipao (bigger-than-usual siopao) we asked to be halved which we ended up wrapping to bring home.

I am quite pleased that authentic cuisine that usually can only be found in binondo has finally found its way in other parts of the Metro. Of course, the winning combination of siopao and special mami. Could not help but feel nostalgic since these were favorites of my parents when they used to study in Manila. I hope the younger generation will patronize this place as a way of connecting to a part of our culinary history that dates back hundreds of years.

Hands down to this authentic resto from Binondo, my fave, MASUKI Ps: whenever ure eating at masuki, always remember to pour your asado sauce sa noodles niyo and yung asado sauce it is given to u at first pa lang before the noods. Pour it there and dont just eat the noodles without it. Pps: sarap ng siopao, u can order the regular one, malaki na rin naman
