Last Saturday, I was up early at the Petron gas station along P. Guevara for a change oil. The Innova has needed one for a months now, and I just had to make sure that I wouldn't be caught smoke belching. I was hungry though, having left the house without brekky. North Park was closed, and it was a good thing that I spotted the Taibun Chinese bakery right across from the gas station. I've bought from the store just once before--they have delicious pineapple cakes that you often find in Taiwan. They also carry a wide variety of red mongo buns, custard pies and other sweet delights. The place was empty, and obviously, I was the first customer of the day.
The place serves home-style Taiwanese cooking. I had the beef wanton noodle soup, which cost just under P200. This came in steaming hot! The meat was tender, the dumplings were tasty and noodles were of good quality--chewy, just like hand-pulled noodles. Hearty breakfast for me; I was no longer groggy as I went back to oversee the change oil procedure. While slightly more expensive than NS-11 of North Park, this bowl will surely give close competition!
