One of the places that I was really looking forward to eating while back in the Philippines was Chow King. It's a Chinese fast food type of chain, but with a Filipino twist. So you'll find things like lumpiang shanghai, pancit canton, siopao, siomai, sweet & sour pork, etc.
This location is in Candon, right on the corner. So, it's super busy and tons of people seem to come here. Good thing this place has 2 levels! I put in my order, took my number, and the headed upstairs to find some seats. The worker asked how many were in our party and looked for a spot for us. I don't know how they find you in a sea people, but they somehow get your order to you and rather quickly at that.
I got the sweet & sour pork lauriat which was yummy and brought back old memories. The pancit canton was delicious as well. The best part? The halo halo! I got a large size alllll for me. This is my favorite thing to get at Chow King. Good, cheap food! read more
