I do not agree with Mangrey. The secret to their longevity is rooted in the fine tradition of their noodle making. If they want to up production, just add more “kabayo’s” and workers. By tinkering with an age old recipe for success, you’ll be surprised to learn that it is not always the most favorable route.

At the end of the day, they are preserving a fine tradition of noodle making that has made them famous and recognized. I appreciate noodles and can distinguish machine versus hand made. So I am biased towards tradition and not as much as technology infused methods when it comes to something like this.

I hope they have an apprenticeship program at their restaurant to continue their tradition and not lose it to modern day, high volume, mass produced initiatives.

If this agrument isn’t enough. Take a look at Coca-Cola and the debacle they encountered when they decided to “change” the recipe. There are several more cases such as this that take a fine old tradition, then alter it to suit modern tastes, without testing the market and seeing how their end consumer reacts.

Sometimes, the old is just as good as the new.

@mangrey…..

i think that’s not a fair assumption, but really, the taste and quality of their noodles have not change thru the years…. for me, it’s 35years of eating since my lolo and parent 1st took me there…. just went there last week…. don’t know if i’m gonna go there with all the traffic if they change
but i understand your point

200 kilos of noodles for mami and they have been in business for 40 years, well and good.

I think the owner is lacking the initiative to search a new method of processing the noodles that will result to same quality of noodles. Searching and developing new ways are essentials to avoid being stagnant.

40 years and 200 kilos, when satisfied you stop, then take all excuses kung bakit hanggang doon lang sa 200 kilos……………

Yap it happened also in one bank in commonwealth. If we will go to our clints and its accessible in mrt or lrt then taxi, we rerely use our car. One time our client gave a check and we would like to encash it, we arrive 5 mins before 3 o clock we arrived riding in a tricycle , and unfortunately the guard never allowed us to enter ..my husband told me if we arrived with car they will surely entertain us. here in the phils you dont know talaga what kind of dressing you would be, one time i came abroad and as ordinary ofw porma white shirt and maong jeans..hahha pinoy eh levis …grabe they were very snubbish in the airlines..when i came back i dressed naman as a chinese woman haha sa custom naman hinaharang ako because of the tax daw coz i brought home lcd…when i told na ofw ako , they kept their mouth shut…
Another one a lot of our taiwanese friends were shck when they came here in naia a lot of employees daw and porters are asking for pamasko, as i know pamasko sholud be given di ba not to be asked hehe

Comment on Promote your resto online by Chie

i don’t think newsletters will ever be a thing of the past, along with other printed promo materials that a resto or any other business might have. Online promo is ok and has its benefits but many people will look for something they can hold on their hands and read and re-read and study without having to turn the computer on. So online and printed will still be a potent force together.
