I have been to a lot of Chinese restos especially those that caters to banquets and functions, but…read moresomehow I have never tried Mandarin Sky in Banawe. I think whenever my family goes there, I am always unavailable. While scouting for a place to eat in Banawe, I tried searching for a QC resto and found this Mandarin Sky Wok in Paligsahan. It is located together with Artsy Cafe (continental food) and Komedor (Filipino food). It has the same owner as this restaurant and the one along Banawe. The interiors of Mandarin Sky Wok is very Chinese, like the fine dining ones in China. It is very cozy and filled with customers. Service is good. Food was quite disappointing considering all the raves I heard about the Banawe branch. We started off with dimsum because we were famished: pork siomai, fish head, and beancurd roll. Fish head was okay since not many restaurants serve those as dimsum. The pork siomai was bad, it has more flour than meat. The beancurd roll was truly disappointing. It's like the meat of the siomai then wrapped in bean curd skin. For the main course, we ordered: Polonchay with Two Eggs, Singaporean Bihon Guisado, and Dong Po Pork. The polonchay with eggs were okay, nothing special. The eggs visible are duck eggs and century eggs, plus a slurry of chicken egg whites. I was disappointed that the yolk of the duck egg was invisible, probably used to complete their salted egg prawns dish. The bihon was flavored in curry. It was good but we just got surprised that it has curry in it. The Dong Po Pork comes with steamed buns. It took a really long time for them to serve this, and it turned out just normal. There were about 8-10 pre-cut slices of the pork but only 6 pcs of the bun. The meat was tender and the sauce was strange. Not a usual sauce in Chinese cuisine, but I'm guessing the sauce is made from ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, and vinegar - almost the same ingredients as a sweet and sour sauce. The pineapple on top of the dish was a misplacement as well. Most customers there ordered shabu-shabu so maybe it's their forte? Would love to try the two restaurants beside it though. And oh, you can also order from the other two as well since they only belong to one owner.

I couldn't believe it myself. There was no way that could happen. But then, it did happen. I felt a little deceived about not knowing about this awesome Chinese restaurant. Birthday Noodles = delicious! Peking Duck = spectacular! Cereal Prawns = sumptuous! Masachi = mind-blowing! I really couldn't contain my excitement. I looked around the place while I was eating and realized that the brand must be popular. It' was full even on a Thursday night. They must be doing something good. Then again, they must be "cooking" something good!

I've always been told that the key to knowing how good a restaurant serving a specific type of…read morecuisine really is, is by looking around and checking out the customers. As soon as I entered Mao Jia Hunan Cuisine, I couldn't help but notice how every table was filled with Chinese guests speaking in their mother tongue. There and then I thought, "Now, this is the real thing". As soon as the menu was handed to me, I instantly realized this wasn't your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Hunan cuisine is known the world-over for it's hot, spicy flavors and true enough, from the pictures of the dishes on the menu, one noticeable ingredient that had a starring role in every dish was the red chili. After salivating over every dish on the menu, my lunch date and I finally decided to order the Five Spice Beef, Eggplant Sautéed with String Beans and the Sesame Shredded Chicken. Despite having to wait unusually long for our dishes to arrive, the food we ordered did not disappoint. True enough, each bite was filled with fiery flavor and soon after, we were perspiring from the heat, both from the food and the sweltering summer day. For those looking for a hot hole-in-the-wall spot, I think Mao Jia Hunan Cuisine is definitely worth a visit.

You might think that this restaurant is out of place in the quiet Bagtikan Street, but you'll be surprised at the amount of Chinese customers it has during lunch and dinner. For me, if you see a lot of "locals" that represent the type of cuisine the restaurants serve, then it must be good. Some of the dishes that I ordered were the five spice beef, the dumplings, and a spicy fish head that reminds me of a "hidden" restaurant near Rockwell Center. Everything tasted great. Oh did I mention that almost everything is spicy? It is something this cuisine is known for, but for those that can't take the heat, you can always request to tone it down. But for a place that's known for spice, why would you?

Do NOT order the sweet and sour pork. (Let the Force guide you before choosing this dish.) It is a pretty-looking dish (arguably), but you are getting very thin "cafeteria-style" slices of pork good for one person, and sauce that is milder than Chowking's. The price most likely reflects how the dish was dressed up--a bed of salad greens and a generous sprinkling of what looked like mango bits, whole cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion. I can understand the "fusion" in the mango and tomato, but the salad greens seemed too "cheffy" for me. I don't get it. On the bright side, the hainanese-style chicken rice was really good. What possessed me to pair this with an assertively-flavored dish with a sauce...I'll never know. I guess I was just curious. I might have to come back and order the steamed chicken.

When I heard my sister order the dishes (she introduced us to this restaurant and had been here several times with her family), I thought the dishes would taste bland. For example, she ordered a fried taro dish, patola vegetable, squid, tofu and yellow croaker (one steamed, one fried). I ordered chili clams to counter what I thought would be uninteresting dishes.
