I always check out the new posts from the group Kaon Ta Iloilo or KTI especially those that interest me. Well, it is almost all of them but I am particularly at looking at new places that serve noodles soup, Ramen or any other dish related to that. Recently, I have noticed the sequence of the post of a newly opened place which got me curious about their dish called Chao Long. It is of Vietnamese origin but they say that it is a popular menu in Palawan particularly in Puerto Princesa City.

The pictures they posted were very enticing, so is the price and so I decided to schedule my visit to the place named Alli’s Viet’s Chao Long and Café. It is located near the corner end just before the NEDA Regional Office in General Hughes Street. I went to the place right after my office hours and the good thing is it was just a jeepney ride (Jaro CPU) away. It was nearing dusk when I arrived and two to three persons were eating. The area is somewhat below the average eatery but it is not that small. I ordered one bowl of Chao Long, extra boiled egg and Garlic Bread. Minutes later, my order was served and I immediately took a picture (as per the Millenials’ routine).

I can immediately smell the therapeutic aroma of the hot soup with a spicy kick. The broth is just right to my liking and I can also spice it more with the chili paste. The Udon noodles were firm though the beef meat is slightly chewy. It was a smaller bowl for a serving but the full flavor is there. I even dipped the garlic bread just like how I eat Batchoy and asked for extra soup.

Total bill: 85 pesos. You can check the rest of their menu below.

Alli’s Viet’s Chao Long and Café is open every day, from 8am to 8pm and their Google Map location is placed below. From the downtown area, you can reach the place by riding a Jaro CPU or Lapaz jeepney.
