Favorites ko, not in first to last order:

 

Lugang - Taiwanese dish pero very authentic; they have chinese cooks here kaya ganun lasa.

* try their spicy garlic fish in claypot and kung pao chicken with cashew

 

Tim Ho Wan - Singaporean dish pero mostly influenced by chinese cuisine since marami ang lumipat sa Singapore noong pinagaagawan pa ang China ng mga mananakop (kaya rin dumami ang "Mainland" chinese sa Pilipinas dati). Michelin star rated that is why masarap talaga (mahirap makakuha ng kahit-isang star lang)

* Baked Bun with Pork BBQ, Beancurd Skin Roll at Glutinous Rice with Lotus Leaf ang go-to ko dito palagi

 

Din Tai Fung - Taiwanese din ito na may Cantonese influence sa food. Legit chinese chefs din kaya solid ang lasa. Meron sa BGC nito kaya kung palagi mahaba pila sa Megamall, sa BGC ninyo itry

* Xiao Long Bao lang sapat na

 

Hong Kong Chef - Halos sa tapat ito ng dampa sa Macapagal. Malapit ito sa Akiri Spa; dito ako kumakain kapag meron akong mga bisita or kapag nalipasan ng gutom. Medyo pricey kesa sa iba pero lahat ng serving nila sa ulam ay good for 2-3 persons

* Fish Lip Soup, Hot and Sour Soup, Curry Beef Brisket at Fish Fillet with Beancurd in Taosi Sauce ang ilan sa mga favorite ko dito

 

Gloria Maris - Hindi gaano karami ang locations nito pero sarap din ng pagkain. Nakakakain lang ako dito kapag may okasyon

* Hot Prawn Salad, Birthday Noodle

 

Xiu Cantonese - Isa pa ito, nakakakain lang ako dito kapag pupunta ako ng Greenhills para sa isa ko pang hobby (TOYS). Hirap lang ng parking

* Lahat masarap HAHAHA

 

David's Tea House - Favorite ko dito mga Congee. Feel ko na malaki ang serving pero pasok sa budget

 

Superbowl - Hot and Sour Soup talaga ang dahilan bakit ako pumupunta dito. Sad to say na yung ibang dishes di na gaano kasarap katulad ng dati (at niliitan din serving size)

 

Mann Hann - Kung medyo nagtitipid pero gusto ng masarap, dito ako... usually rice toppings lang ok na.

* Beef with Brocolli Rice Toppings at Oyster Cake ang ilan sa mga favorite ko dito

 

Mey Lin - OK din dito, niliitan lang serving size pero masarap parin. Szechuan influenced cuisine ata ito kaya mostly maanghang ang food. Pwede naman ipa-request na mild lang kung hindi sanay sa maanghang.

* Oyster Omelette (extra spicy) at Three Cups Squid gusto ko dito

 

Wangfu Chinese Resto - sa Serendra ko sa BGC unang natry dito, natawa pa ako sa pangalan pero sobrang affordable din dito. Masarap pa

 

Sincerity Resto - Fried Chicken pa more!

 

Golden Fortune - yung dimsum promo talaga dahilan kung bakit napunta ako dito eh HAHAH

 

King Chef Resto - Again, sa Binondo ulit (lucky chinatown mall). Sarap din dito, halos lahat panalo. Pricey lang pero uuwi kang hirap maglakad sa kabusugan. Meron din dimsum promo from 2pm-5pm, 50% off lahat dimsum.

 

SPECIAL MENTION:

*Botan Black Cafe - Sa BGC ito, hindi siya pansinin kasi nasa 2nd floor ng isang building pero merong malaking signage. Taiwanese/American cuisine ito pero meron mga filipino food na sineserve. Hindi din madami tao dito at maganda customer service. Pwede din tumambay kung meron kayo laptop or gusto lang magcharge ng phone. Dami din milk tea na pagpipilian.

 

Nagutom ako bigla, kakaalala ko ng mga resto. Yung iba di ko na nilagay kasi di na masarap. Reply or PM lang kung meron kayo masusuggest sa akin

Mga 60% ng nakalagay dito ay nakainan ko na rin. Tama ang iyong description at ang mga feed bacl mo tungkol sa pagkain. Hehehe. Hilig mo rin kumain siguro. lol

Any review for xiu cantonese fine dining?

There is a pictorial review in the "My Favourite Chinese Restaurant & Dishes" topic by Sir Asmodeus on page 89.

If you want to have a real Roast Beef Sandwich, you just have to do it yourself. All the ingredients are available at the delicatessen counter of RUSTANS - FRESH. PAUL French baguette , AGUILA sliced roast beef, EMBORG cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, GREY POUPON Dijon mustard, WAITROSE ESSENTIALS creamed horseradish, BEST FOOD Mayo, VLASIC dill pickles. It will surely hit the spot.

Kambal Pan de Sal.

Pingka, Sinangag at Itlog- Pingsilog

dinuguan na ang pampaasim yung talbos ng sampaloc. nkalimutan ko na tawag.

Tinumis

Sinampalukan native na manok gamit usbong ng sampalok. Very famous in Pampanga, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija.

Sinampalukan Manok at native ang chicken dapat. Sarap ito.

Burong Dalag.

Tinumis na Lamang Loob at Baboy

Pindang na Carabeef

Sinigang na Baboy sa Bayabas

My all time Chinese dish favourites. In any Chinese banquet I prepare, these are my staples. All the rest from soup to dessert may vary from occasion to occasion or from company to company,

1. Dungeness Crabs Sauteed in Black Beans

2. Steamed Rock Cod with Ginger & Scallions

3. Sauteed Manila Clams in Garlic

In the Greenhills Theater/Promenade Area bounded by Connecticut, Annapolis & Missouri Streets you have 3 superb Chinese Restaurants. Delectable Cantonese cuisine at very reasonable prices just right to celebrate your Chinese New Year. Reserve early.

1. XIU Chinese Restaurant

2. GLORIA MARIS

3. CHOI Garden Restaurant

Sir, may garage room ba dito?

Wala. Sidewalk parking lang. Recommended lang for quick walk-in.

Family had an early Chinese New Year dinner tonight at CHINA BLUE @ Conrad Hilton Manila.

Food - 4/5 - Almost like Gloria Maris but with better presentation and plating.

Place- 3/5 - Chinese inspired setting but no frills. No table cloth service. Very utilitarian and functional table arrangement.

Ambiance- 3/5- For a fine dining Chinese restaurant in a 5 star hotel, you expect a little more opulence.

Price- 2/5- Expensive relative to the local setting. Expect to pay as much as $60/person & upwards (reasonable price to pay in SF or LA)

Service- 3/5- Maybe good for a one star Michelin service level, maybe because of the cheaper local staff.

Overall- 3/5- No Michelin for this one. Estimated Zagat rating @ 20/30.

try paradise dynasty XLB.

Yes, ok din yung kanilang Watercolor XLBs. Actually, all their dimsum are great and reasonable prices too.

YANG CHOW @ Marcos Hiway, Antipolo serves very delectable HAKAW. The All shrimp hakaw is plump and the glutinous wrapper is light and thin that melts in your mouth goodness. This is even better than more expensive and Michelin rated Chinese Tea Houses.

DIN TAI FUNG @ Power Plant Mall, Rockwell. Great Xiao Lung Baos. The Crab Roe Xiao Lung Baos were just lovely.

MY INN sa may Kalayaan Ave. Makati. Malapit sa BGC Uptown Area & Rembo Area Guadalupe.

AWESOME

Panaderia sa Cuenca, Batangas. Solid at fuertes and Pan de Sal. Isa lang busog ka na.

ALBA's pa rin. Sa Morato or Bel Air. Buffet okay din.

Okay si TURKS. Haba lang pila every lunch time dito sa Robinson Mall.

here's how my order goes:

6-inch italian herbs, roast beef, pepper jack cheese, toasted

lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, olives

ranch

kettle cooked jalapeno chips

lemonade

Make that 2.

HI maninmotion,

 

The branch I go to is pretty nice, not so crowded and the coffee is good too. I would not say its spectacular or much better vs the others. Convenient and less crowded

Thanks for the tip, Mango Man. I see the appeal of the place now. There is a COFFEE PROJECT branch where I stay. It's in a small mall that has a Rustans Fresh Supermarket and a STARBUCKS. Way out in the very inconspicuous place in the Village Center Mall is the Coffee Project Shop, it's truly a counterpoint to Starbucks, front and center location. It makes a cozier and quieter place for a more deliberately slow and relaxed coffee experience. Hmmmmmm....good point. Okay, now I can see why it appeals to some people.

I survived with McDonalds Sausage McMuffins with Egg. Hash Browns with Catsup and McCafe Coffee with 1 Sugar & 2 Creams for Breakfast. Buy this take out and eat this in a ritual procedure on my office desk @ 7am every working morning for 2 years.
