Charlie Wanton Special

Hubby and I have been running around town the whole day today so come dinner time, my energy failed me in the kitchen and I still have to feed hubby and daughter.

Luckily, our house is just walking distance from these fastfood restos --- Shakey's, Jollibee, KFC and Chowking. Then there's also Aling Banang's (tapsilogan), Hosena's (bulalo et al), several lechon manok stalls, numerous carinderias, and Hypermart (lots of food stalls that includes a Mang Inasal branch). But we decided to walk farther (free exercise) until we reached Charlie's.

Lomi

Years ago, there used to be a chinese restaurant at the corner of Welcome Rotonda and Mayon Street in Quezon City. Hubby and I used to frequent this place because I love the lomi that was being served there. Alas, alas, all good things must come to an end. The restaurant closed down and morphed into a popular fastfood chain.

Then we discovered that the lomi from Charlie's restaurant was just as good. Maybe they pirated the cook from the Welcome Rotonda Resto? Hehehe.

Lomi is best eaten during rainy days or when one has a cold. Squeeze in some calamansi and you're ready to go!
