5. Free Tastes and Promos
Who doesn't enjoy free tasting? Be honest.

I loved these healthy snacks called Oh So Healthy Fruit Crisps.  I was supposed to buy the Jackfruit, Pineapple and Banana variant but they only had sample stocks. =( I will definitely buy from SM Hypermarket or Kultura whenever I have the chance to.


There are promos and mascotts too. 

That sums our Tsinoy Foodies' SM Streetfood Festival 2019 experience and hope you find it interesting enough to check out too!

♥ Shrimp Tofu Salad (290 php)

I promise you, once you pop a piece of the Shrimp Tofu Salad, you will feel instantaneous joy from its light, soft and refreshing sensation gives to your mouth.  I honestly wanted to finish all this for myself.

Rice

Tinapa Rice (180 php)

The Tinapa Rice did not appeal to me anymore since the Tawilis with Mangga on a Spoon already stole the limelight for dried fish dish.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Mesa certainly offers a one of a kind Filipino dining experience.  Its service and performance to impress diners is unlike any other.  I am not surprised if it comes up with more branches in the future.

Happy to be adding my recent Liao Fan Hawker Chan Restaurant dining experience to my Michelin-Starred collection.


We're so lucky that more and more Michelin-starred restaurants are opening here in Manila.  Because of that, we get to save a lot from not having to travel.  What's more is that, Liao Fan Hawker Chan happens to be the world's cheapest Michelin-Star restaurant where the average price per dish is only 100 to 150 pesos!


I happened to be invited for a preview.  As I arrived, the first thing I noticed were these group of men bending down seriously taking photo of what seems to be...

the famous Singapore Soya Sauce Chicken's butt?  =p

Food

Sampler Plate: Soya Chicken, Char Siew and Roasted Pork with Rice

But, I didn't mind what they were doing because we were served us a Sampler Plate.  This is just for the event and not officially on the menu.  It allowed us to try three of their offerings and their plain ice which I do not recommend!  It is worst than fast food rice.

Sampler Plate: Soya Chicken, Char Siew and Roasted Pork with Noodles

Go for the noodles, it's way better!

Chef Recommendation

Any 3 Combination Platter (270 php)

With the Any 3 Combination Platter, you can choose three among their four specialties: Soya Chicken, Char Siew, Pork Ribs and Roasted Pork with Rice.  

Any 3 Combination Platter (270 php)

I'm glad Igot to try the Soya Chicken, Char Siew, and Roasted Pork.  But, it made me curious about the Pork Ribs.  Nevertheless, I shall share with you my feedback.  If I had to choose just one of their specialty, it would definitely be their Soya Chicken.  It's so soft and moist that it could easily detach from the bones.  It is indeed the best Soya Chicken I've tried yet.  Second on my top list is the Roasted Pork.  I never imagined pork skin to be as good as they made it.  It even beats our local pork skin cracklings.  It's light, airy kind crnchy and not oily at oil.

Whole Chicken (598 php)

If you're picky with chicken parts, you can order the Whole Chicken so you can even pick the butt part. =D  You can also share this with your companions. 

Side Dishes

Thai Style Tofu (160 php)

For side dish, I highly recommend Thai Style Tofu. 

Thai Style Tofu (160 php)

We had this as a starter dish and we enjoyed it a lot!

Beverages

Roselle Tea (60 php)

I'm not sure if our palates are ready for the Roselle Tea.  Since I've had this before, it pleasantly tastes like sweet red wine to me.  But, my companions didn't like it.  Some found it too sweet or preferred soft drinks over it. 

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Welcome Liao Fan Hawker Chan to the Philippines!  I'm sure all the branches you will be opening will be packed with all kinds of diners.  I will definitely visit again for the Soya Chicken and to try the Pork Ribs.

Fly to Singapore Promo
I almost forgot to share!   Another great reason to try Hawker Chan is because if you dine from July 26 to August 5 2018, you get a chance to be one of two winners that will fly to Singapore and enjoy a 3 days and 2 nights full board and meal stay sponsored by FOODEE Global Concepts Inc. and
