Take your taste buds on a journey with Mom Violy to Luk Foo Cantonese - where flavor meets tradition!

Mom Violy was craving for Cantonese cuisine the place we usually dine is at  Luk Foo near Puregold Grocery Store. Upon entering Luk Foo Cantonese Carmina noticed the front door and inside the dining area looks different. Even if it has been one year since we last dine inside can notice looks fancy. The menu was also different giving us a glance.  Mom Violy already knew what to order without looking at the menu. Her usual order has always been beef with broccoli and pancit. Carmina wanted to try the Hot Prawn Salad often something we usually order when I was young in California. Family member requested for lechon Macau and yang fried rice. Being a family, we get to try with all assorted food which Mom Violy was shocked to see all the dishes on the table. We had a lot of leftovers.
