Lucky you there's Golden Fortune Part 2 (or How to eat shabu shabu)

Ber months bring in colder nights, perfert for hotpot during the nighttime.
If you're looking for a hotpot/ shabu shabu that's open til late at night, Golden Fortune is it.
Starting from 9:00 pm, their hotpot/shabu-shabu menu is slashed from 30 - 50% off.

Beef set about Php 500, dumplings are ordered extra

If you haven't tried easting hot pot, this is how it's done.
1) Choose your soup. There's plain chicken stock and the spicier sate.
Or you can have half plain, half sate in one pot.

2) Choose your ingredients, a hotpot usually consists of meat (beef, mutton, pork, chicken, seafood, dumplings, veggies and noodles)

3) Mix your sauce. You get diced garlic, leeks, light soy sauce, peanut, chili sauce, diced chili.

4) Wait for the soup to boil. Or you can dump in the ingredients (veggies and sliced beef last, because they cook easily)

5) Eat. Or you can do it Korean style, wait for the soup to boil and just dip your beef in your ladle/ chopsticks til it cooks in the soup. (Not a recommended way to cook dumplings, coz you might get it raw)



Golden Fortune's menu has a lot of stuff
but I recommend getting the sliced fat beef, shrimp dumplings, tofu skin, taro, cheese balls (yep squid balls with cheese inside). And you're a happy camper.

Enjoy!

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
