Pasta has always been a comfort food for us and it's been a long time since we (J and I) dined in a feel-good resto. Good thing we discovered B.I.H.O.N. last Friday around Angeles area.
Well, it's not really that we did not discovered it before but we kind of snob the place since it's beside one of our favorite to-go resto in Angeles, Perfect Loaf. Now I only found out that I wasn't able to blog Perfect Loaf until this time. One day, let's hope. For now, let me introduce a little something from B.I.H.O.N.
B.I.H.O.N. stands for Best International House of Noodles or practically known as Noodlebar. It caters different pasta and rice meals in a very affordable price. Check out the range of their menu on the photos below.
Most of their meals are very affordable knowing that they serve fusion of different international pasta cuisines. :)
J and I ordered one each. Pad Thai for me and Laksa for him. Laksa has soup so no need for appetizers anymore. I just want some soup and some pasta, everything would be perfect! ♥
They served small breads while our orders are being cooked. J's Kaffir Iced Tea arrived as well.

I wonder why I always chanced Noodlebar having few customers. It's one of the reason why we always not consider dining there before because of few people inside the area. But hey, they're good. They're worth a try! :)
Finally our orders arrived. I ordered Pad Thai for P160.00 and I was amazed on the presentation since it's also my first time experiencing the dish. There are 3 condiments that you can ix on the pasta itself, chili powder, sugar and oh, some crushed peanuts. I prefer crushed peanuts sprinkling some lemon in it since the pasta already taste sweet for me.

J got Laksa and since it's soup, we shared it first before we ate Pad Thai while it's hot. This is sold at P130.00 and boy was it good! Trying my first taste on this dish as well. Since the noodles in this is also the same with the noodles used in Japchae, I can't resist eating. Haha.

I need to take another obligatory shot since the presentation was not so good in the photo above. I got my share in another bowl and you can see the noodles below now. Looks cleaner than the first right? :)

Since I'm loving the soup more, I postponed eating Pad Thai and finished the huge bowl of Laksa first. Their bowl is good for 2-3 servings. We ate a little of Pad Thai and needed to takeout the remaining portion at home. Pad Thai is also good for 2 person. :)
Overall, I think our Noodlebar experience is an eye-opener for me. I should not limit myself on what I see on the outside, rather, I need to experience everything inside first.
Do you notice any Noodlebar branches in your area? I am not sure if they have branches elsewhere but this one was just accross Nepo Mall beside Perfect Loaf in Angeles City.
The presentation of the Pad Thai looks fancy. Sayang sirain ang presentation.
ReplyDeleteRight sis. I was actually thinking twice if I can take ruining the presentation. Good thing I got a camera. :)
DeleteI love ur quote: " should not limit myself on what I see on the outside, rather, I need to experience everything inside first. " Yeasss! Very true Ms. Tet! The pad thai for me looks yummy and I am willing to take a try on this resto. :) Kakagutom! Yumyum! <3
ReplyDeleteWe'll go back here. Will you, by any chance, visit Pampanga? Drop me a message if you will. :)
DeleteI soo love noodles! The laksa dish looks yummy for me because of the vegetables included. Another thing is that, you was able to finish the huge bowl of laksa. It looks like a corn soup! Hoho. The prices are very affordable and pasok sa budget ng student like me. Hope they will have a branch here malapit sa amin. I wanna try their dishes!! :)) Thank yu fr sharing your yummy food expi!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I hope they have extended branches in the metro so you could try as well.
Deleteall the food in the menu are delicious.. They really pulled out the name of the resto pretty good to the food that they are selling. AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteYes sis. Cool name nga eh. Since most food in the menu looks delish, we're going back there soon. :)
DeleteActually I am not fond of eating Pancit bihon. I love Pancit Malabon more but when Daddy cooks one I will definitely eat. So nasanay na din. And I must say sis, nagutom ako dito ha.

Hihi. The dishes really looks appetizing kasi.
DeleteNoodles are another go-to food item when there's nothing else to order. I like pastas, actually!
ReplyDeleteSame here. ^_^
DeleteIt's like a "don't judge the book by it's cover" eperience sis. Love the food photos, nakakagutom hehe.
ReplyDeleteWhen I always see this post, my other self is saying that I want to come back for more.
DeleteThe prices are truly affordable. Maybe the word that food here is delicious has not reached many people, the reason why the resto looks deserted?
ReplyDeletePerhaps that could be one of the reason why they have less people. I hope this blog post will reach others and will try them.
Deletelooks really yummy! XD i thought they sell different kinds of bihon.. hehehe i am wrong.. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey have different kinds of bihon too. They focus on pasta and noodles.
DeleteAng cute naman ng name! I also thought they served Filipino-style noodles hehe. And that iced tea looks refreshing. I wonder if it's made from kefir?
ReplyDeleteYes, they serve Habhab, Pansit Pinoy and Special Bihon. The iced tea was just ordinary. Nothing different on those iced tea I mix myself.
DeleteHUHUHUHU!!!! I so miss Pinas because of these types of restaurants. It's really fun to stay back home. You'll never get hungry hehehehe!!!!
ReplyDeleteRight! Even in my workplace, at home, at bf's house, there's always food around. HAHA :)
DeleteTheir Pad Thai has a good presentation, I hope it tastes good too. People should really try this restaurant because their prices are very affordable. Their Massachi with White Chocolate and Special Cupcakes look so yummy. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to visit there again soon!
