P. F. Chang's Philippines: Dining at a Modern Chinese Bistro (Shangri-La Plaza East Wing)
Metro Manila, Philippines
P.F. Chang's arrived in the Philippines sometime three years ago. It was formerly in Alabang and Fort Bonifacio Global City and now, it is in Shangri-La Plaza East Wing.
There was a lot of rave about this at first. But, after all the publicity, the fame toned down. Since we have tried almost all restaurants in that wing, we figured we'd give it this US Asian-themed Chinese Bistro a try.
Food
Starter
The Seared Ahi with Wasabi Guacamole was really good! In fact, because of this starter, we felt very optimistic and excited for the upcoming dishes that we ordered.
The Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken Spring Rolls was just okay. I guess I was expecting the lemongrass chicken to stand out but it didn't.
Dimsum
We were really disappointed with the Xiao Long Bao. Just look at it. The soup has already escaped. And, because of that this is by far the worst Xiao Long Bao we've had yet.
Soups
The Hot & Sour Soup is my all-time favorite soup. For me, this is passable.
The Egg Drop Soup is a better choice if I had to choose between the two.
Salads
The Chicken Chopped Salad has two options for dressing: Ginger or Sesame-Vinaigrette. We chose the former and it was a great choice!
Chicken
The Kung Pao Chicken is our family favorite dish so we have tried many versions. This was good but we've had better.
We enjoyed the Singapore Street Noodles. But, price-wise, it is one expensive noodle dish.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Sad to say, I failed to appreciate the why P. F. Chang's beings a US Chinese bistro chain have to be brought here in the Philippines. Being in an Asian country where there are a lot of Chinese and China, Hongkong and Taiwan being our neighboring countries, I think there are many better options already found here.

Kwong's Provisions Progressive Chinatown Cooking: Hole in the Wall Series Part 3 (Century Mall Makati)
Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines
Since we're Tsinoys, Chinese cuisine is close to our hearts. Thus, we just couldn't miss Kwong's Provisions Progressive Chinatown Cooking.
Lines here come and go.
Food
Noodle Soup
My aunt ordered the Pork Cheek Asado Mami. When I asked her if it was good, she said "Bo ho cha, Ha Yuan ka gaw cha" (English translation: It's not good. Ha Yuan is better.). So I told her that Kwong's is also Ha Yuan and she was surprised.
Cua Pao
The Softshell po 'boy is a must try at Kwong's. This is the most glamourous cua pao I've ever encountered. They have a limited stock for this so if you're a lot, come early.
Dimsum
The Salted Egg Chicken Wings is good. But, you can't a lot of it without feeling guilty.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Kwong's Provisions Progressive Chinatown Cooking was just okay for us. I guess it's because we're so used to eating chinatown food so we're a bit picky with these kinds of dishes.
