Lucky you there's Golden Fortune part one

Late dinner? We brave the Manila traffic to go a seafood restaurant called Golden Fortune at Soler Street in Manila (there's also one at the back of Madocs), where the dimsum noodles and congee goes as low as only 48 pesos from 9:00 pm onwards everyday! No wonder this resto is never empty. You don't have to worry about getting cheated, they serve the same quality of dimsum whether its peak or off-peak time. And the dimsum steamed to order.



There's a lot of good choices here for dimsum. Even the radish cake looks different.
Here are some classics and new stuff. The siomai here is good, its sized right, has a bit of pork fat and the taste is enhanced when you dip in chili sauce. Other choices include Shark's fin dumpling (no shark and fin) tastes "standard", taro and corn siomai, rice roll,
lo mai kai (like suman), Thai fried shrimp cakes (a must order), hakaw, spare ribs, Japanese sio mai and more.
Right in the heart of Manila

Shark's fin dumpling

Counter-clockwise: Taro siomai, Chicken feet, beancurd roll, steamed spareribs

Oh my, Siomai

Beancurd roll like springrolls in sauce

For the adventurous: Taro Siomai

I just noticed that their beef noodles are bit overcooked resulting in soggy noodles during the evening as compared to ordering it in the morning. I suggest going for shabu shabu late in the evenings, where you can get the stuff also at a discount. Short orders are not included in the promo fyi.

Rarely can you find a place that serves good, authentic dimsum at a price this low. Kudos to Golden Fortune for coming up with ingenious ways to enjoy our dimsum. Remember, foodie heaven starts at 9 pm :)

BTW there's also a merienda promo
from 2 -5 pm with the same pricing
