Looking for new eats around the metro? Kong Noodleswill make sure every visit will leave you wanting more — at least that’s how we felt when we visited.
Owned by the same people behind the popular pizza restaurant Crosta Pizzeria, Kong is the newest restaurant in Salcedo Village serving not-so-traditional Asian noodles. Upon entrance, you will be welcomed to a chill and chic atmosphere, and an open kitchen where you can see the noodle masters do their magic.
You’ll see Thai, Malaysian, Balinese, Javanese, and Vietnamese-style food just to name a few when you get a glimpse of their menu. But these dishes are only numbered and do not come with their traditional names. Owner Ingga Cabangon Chua and Chef Gerard D’Ombrille explain that these dishes are those you’ve known growing up, but at the same time aren’t.
What to order at Kong Noodles?
Whether you like flat, round, or thin noodles, there’s something at Kong Noodles that would whet your appetite. It can be a bit overwhelming to see numbers and its description only. Some must-tries are the #5 which is a stir-fried rolled rice noodles, egg, soy & kaffir lime, and the #6 which is a stir-fried noodles, soy, egg, and dragon oil which is a chili oil that’s exclusively made in-house. Both noodle dishes can be paired with your choice of protein — chicken, pork, beef, or prawn, priced from P350 to P500 only.
Apart from the fried noodles, they also have starters like the #1 which is a deep-fried sake soy chicken wings served with nuoc man, and the #3 which is a Szechuan salt and pepper tempura tofu served with nuoc man. They also have noodle soups and rice bowls that are not to be missed.
Kong Noodles is located at 104 HV Dela Costa corner Leviste Street, Makati City. They’re open from Monday to Sunday from 11am to 9pm. Like them on Facebook and follow them on Instagram for exclusive updates and offers.

It’s been a little over a year since delivery-only online restaurant group MadEats launched. Now, MadEats ventures into the world of physical stores, starting with one of their most popular brands – Dot Coffee.
After delivering 1000 cups of coffee from only one ghost kitchen during its first week of operations, Dot Coffee has finally opened its very own kiosk in W City Center in Bonifacio Global City. The brand’s vision still remains, and it’s for it to be the #1 tech-enabled high-quality coffee brand for delivery and takeout in the Philippines. They are set to open more Dot Coffee kiosks all over the metro in the next few months.
Dot Coffee has since added more drinks to their ever-growing coffee lineup, including a Cuatro Leches Latte with a dairy-free equivalent. They also have new latte flavors like the Burnt Vanilla, Butterscotch, and Wake Me Up has four shots of espresso and a splash of milk.
For non-coffee drinkers, new options include a refreshing Creamy Ube Coconut, Salted Caramel Mocha, and more flavors for their line of Horchata drinks. And of course, sipping on drinks wouldn’t be complete without munching on some sweets. An exclusive at their W City Center branch, they have released layered dessert bars that come in three flavors — Black & White, a brownie and a blondie layer; a zesty Calamansi Cheesecake; and Peanute Butter Monkey Bar, a peanut butter brownie with a banana bread layer.
Customers will also be able to pick up their coffee and order for delivery via madeats.co, GrabFood, and foodpanda. Dot Coffee will also be launching an app so getting your coffee fix will be even easier.
Dot Coffee is located at W City Center, Bonifacio Global City. It is open daily from 7am to 8pm. Follow them on Facebook and on Instagram for exclusive offers and updates.
