8 Hakaw Flavors at Happy Dumplings

Rode the road less traveled in the north at SM Fairview and climbed up to the second floor for a new spot called HAPPY DUMPLINGS. It’s a new Chinese food concept by the same people behind Black Sheep Coffee Manila, Bawais Vietnamese Restaurant under the Leave the Herd Behind Group. 

The place is nice (and very cute) with a modern oriental "happy" interior using very colorful walls, acccents and cute dumpling characters too. There are tons of bunk chairs inside (comfy seating for two), a few bar stools and a couple of usual seating in the front for groups of 4 or more. They also have an open kitchen concept so you literally see them cooking it when you order. 

Rice comes so good with this Salted Fish Fried Rice - since they just opened, they've got a promo ongoing for UNLIMITED RICE so if you're a heavy eater, I suggest you get that one. It is good for plain white rice lovers out there.

This is primarily a dimsum place and to start off, they've got these Fried Wanton. My guess is, your mouth is watering.

Now this is a good reason to go here. The new and awesome flavored HAKAW available in Original, Garlic, Curry, Salted Egg, Wasabi, Saté, Schezuan and Bagoong flavors. Would you believe it’s only Php 238? Yes, they’re crazy for doing that! (Be careful with the Schezuan because it doesn’t hold back, you’ll get that spicy kick you asked for, and currently my favorite). It’s super worth it! 

My other favorite though is their Beef Brisket Noodle Soup because of it’s not too salty broth, plus their noodles are firm and doesn’t taste rancid like other egg noodles. 

This is their COMBI 3 which is a combination of their Pork Asado, HK Style Fried Chicken and Lechong Macau. They also have a COMBI 2 if you're on a diet, but for groups of 3/4 you should definitely get this for variety.

My shots were fogging up because of the steam coming from these containers, it's fresh hot Pork Siomai with a whole shrimp which they stick in the center. It's really different when it's freshly cooked.

I also ordered their Beancurd Roll, which they had fried and doused with sweet salty soy sauce. It was light, not too greasy, order this for kids so they have protein.

Still steaming hot, this is their Chicken Feet. I didn't eat this but my seatmate did, let's just say he finished it all in a few minutes (while I was judging him LoL). It smelled so savory, I couldn't blame him.

Their management says they have planned to open up a few more branches in malls real soon, but for the meantime, you can visit this joint at the second floor of SM Fairview. I can't wait to go back there because it is quality Chinese food at an affordable price, how can you go wrong with that!? 

Unlimited rice and 8 flavor HAKAW on my plate sounds like a good plan!

Alden Richards at SM City Fairview

Today is the last day of the Grand Fairview Sale of SM Fairview, the lovely mall that we went to last Friday. We were there because aside from the huge discounts they gave people, it was time to actually get them surprised by bringing in one of the most good looking actors this country has every produced, and half of that lovely AlDub loveteam that you love. Yes, it's Alden Richards and he's the surprise of SM Fairview to their shoppers. This also doubles as Alden's album mall tour since he's got Wish I May, the now platinum album from GMA Records. The album is also available in digital downloads on iTunes and it's already number 1 in the Philippine charts.

Alden Richards in SM Fairview by kumagcow

This is his way of giving back to the fans for supporting him all these years. When he was about to come up the stage, he stopped and prayed before he performed. If you didn't know, his fans lined up as early as 4am in the morning just so they could be the first 30 who would be able to meet and greet Alden on stage. They went wild of course. We were already in front but once Alden went up on stage, almost everyone rushed to the front and took videos as you can see on mine. After this event, I got several shorts and shoes (again) because some of the stuff were really cheap! It's only a few hours before it ends so if you have time please go to SM City Fairview today and make that Grand Fairview Sale experience a reality. Save a lot before the Christmas rush, hurry! 

Oh and just so you know, when we went out of the Cinema there were still a ton of people outside chanting "Ilabas si Alden, Ilabas si Alden" because they don't believe he already left the venue and they were pushing the barriers outside wildly. That's how they wanted him so bad. Anyway, I hope this video would at least get you there if you didn't get to catch the show. Now who loves Alden? Raise your right hand!

Thanks to the awesome people of SM Fairview for having us! It was an awesome day!
