Komrad: Mao's Hunan and Sichuan Kitchen - Chinese Craze

When I was younger, I was only limited to fastfood choices. See, I wasn't adventurous in trying new dishes at all. But as I age, I discovered Asian and Italian foods that pretty much agreed to my taste buds. Now, my Chinese food craving has extended to something more upbeat when I went to Komrad: Mao's Hunan and Sichuan Kitchen.

I am all for healthy living! When I was advised by my physician to lose weight, I had to work hard so I could prevent getting diabetes in the future. I joined the gym and played badminton. But what I was lacking is a healthy diet. I still continue to eat what I want and not realizing my goal. Good thing I learned about NESTLЀ FITNESSE cereal, last March 10 at the Trinoma Cinema Lobby. Imagine 200 dancers from prominent dance groups in Manila, Fitness First instructors and members held a Zumba flashmob for everyone to see. And this coming weekend, March 31, 6PM at the NBC Tent in Bonifacio Global City, strut, spin, shimmy and shake with the help of Manila's top Zumba Fitness instructors and even enjoy servings of NESTLЀ FITNESSE cereals.

Zong at Centris Walk

I just love Chinese Restaurants. At first, I thought they all have the same taste and style of cooking, but when I tried Zong at Centris Walk, Quezon Avenue during the dinner for Blogger Manila’s Final Blogger Apprentice Challenge, they definitely set a different trend among the Chinese restaurants I know.

Enjoying the restaurant with fellow Blogger Apprentice candidates

Zong’s environment to very cozy and appealing. If you want a place where you can be alone on your thoughts and good food or you’re contemplating where to spend a romantic date, it is definitely the place to be. They also boast of their Executive Sous Chef, Wong Kam On a.k.a.Chef Onno, who shares his Chinese Culinary talent that makes Zong’s dishes truly delectable.

Old China Cuisine: Panciteria San Jacinto

Old China Cuisine: Panciteria San Jacinto

Ask my officemates where the best restaurants are and they have an answer then and there. But then again, when our boss asked us where he would treat us for his birthday, we only had one place in mind: Panciteria San Jacinto.

Entering the restaurant, their homey vibe welcomes you as if you're in your own dining room. Its not quaint and you might bring your family here during Sundays to have good food, in your not so busy pace. Yes, it may be along one of the hectic streets in the Metro, but it is tucked in an old Chinatown charm.

Craving for Chinese Food: Kim Po Tea House

Craving for Chinese Food: Kim Po Tea House

Last Sunday, after the boyfriend and I had quite and eventful day of church and his school activities, we were bustling around Banawe for our dinner. After going from one end to another,(because we were looking for something in the area that we havent been to before) we finally settled into this Chinese restaurant named Kim Po Tea House.

It was already 9:30PM and way near their closing, but they still accommodated us. I had the Asado Rice (Php105), my favorite, and it was sweet and yummy.

The boyfriend, who is loading up on carbs ordered Beef Brisket Rice (Php100) and YangChow Fried Rice (Php80). The beef brisket rice's aroma was inviting. It was even stuffed in a cute tin bowl so the beef looked really succulent and they're just so soft. I must remember have some next time we visit there.

For our side dishes, we had dimsum. The Shrimp Puff (Php70) is their newest dimsum on the menu. Wrapped in fried dimsum wrapper, the shrimp puff is best served with mayo. We also ordered Taosi Spareribs (Php70), a typical yet delicious side dish that we always try whenever were in Chinese Restaurants.

We were supposed to order Schezuan Bean Curd but it was already out since they were closing soon. Now I'm looking forward to go to Kim Po again for the yummy experience. Five stars because their prices are reasonable and give value for your money.

Kim Po Tea House is located at 706 Banawe St., Siena, Quezon City.
