There are countless places to get siopao in Metro Manila, but for me there are only two brands with…read moredistinctive tastes. One is Ma Mon Luk, the other is Kowloon House. Since I cannot watch movies without a siopao or two to munch on, I'm glad there's a Kowloon House near where I used to live. It's in a strip mall fronting Brazil street, which makes it not too far from SM Bicutan. Whether asado or bola-bola, Kowloon has been able to maintain its terrific taste over the decades. This place is open until late into the evening, so whenever the urge hits, I can be sure that I can get my favourite jumbo siopao practically anytime. Kowloon claims to have the "world's best dimsum" and it's not an idle boast. How else could it have survived for the longest time? However, the outlet along Dona Soledad Avenue says it's open 24 hours a day, but there have been several occasions when I passed by and it was closed for business. The place is more kiosk than restaurant, by the way. There are only a handful of tables and chairs, but that's ok. Most customers order take out anyway. There's been only one out of so many times when I wasn't totally satisfied with my Kowloon siopao. The taste seemed funny, close to spoiling. I chalk up that one bad experience to their possibly recycling unsold siopao. Or maybe it was just one bad batch out of thousands sold every month. I've been crazy for Kowloon House siopao ever since I was a kid. I still am. Five stars for the world's best dimsum!

I never gave this restaurant the time of day before because I was satisfied with my go-to Chinese place. But a friend invited us there for dinner and of course we obliged. We ordered the usual items on the menu: Dimsum Platter, Yang Chow Fried Rice, Noodles, Lemon Chicken, Lechon Macau. As expected, everything was superb. The service was fantastic; we were given a nice spot as soon as we stepped inside their restaurant. The food was quick and served hot. The waiters were very attentive; they refilled our glasses often (it doesn't matter if it's bottomless iced tea or water) and are quick to approach us when we called them. There was nothing extra special or different about this place. But because of the excellent service, we would definitely be back here when we find ourselves in Festival Mall.

Always hit the spot, no-frills Chinese food. Meals are dangerously greasy and good for sharing…read more Even the small portions can be split among four. Best to come here hungry and in groups. Perfect place for your big family's Sunday meal- lazy Susans and dimsum carts! Price-wise it's very reasonable. Safe to say a budget of 350 per head goes a loooong way and would satisfy even the heftiest of waters. We always get a protein, noodle, soup and vegetable dish plus some dimsum. A couple of dishes are not usually on the menu like curry mutton and Xiao Long Bao. I love their thick polonchay soup that can be served in singles. The usual dishes like beef and broccoli, spicy spareribs and yang chow are as good as the best Chinese in Manila, Mann Hann Megamall. Three stars only since the spinach with century and salted egg came with broth when it clearly looked steamed on the photo. Salted egg was replaced w/ scrambled egg instead. Also bit into a huge piece of shell in my oyster cake. This place could do some cleaning.

Their menu is very simple, just pick a dimsum that you like and choose from Hainanese Rice or Lemak Rice. I'd say go for the Hainanese Rice! Although their dimsums don't differ that much from each other when it comes to taste, I'd recommend getting the Shark's Fin. Just ask for Toyomansi and Chili and you're good to go! TIP: You may request for your dimsum to be steamed or deep fried.

While…read morestaying at the Marriott during my trip, there was no question that I would make reservations here, as I had an awesome experience last year. I returned with my 2 co-workers and they did not disappoint. The restaurant is beautiful, they serve complimentary candied walnuts, and hot tea. We ordered a variety of items...adding a few that we did not try the year before. Appetizers were shrimp toast and salmon. Mains were beef and broccoli, half roast duck, bok choy, shrimp and chicken fried rice, and we had a few cocktails. The food was amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever visiting Manila, Philippines! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they stop reserving lumpia after lunch, and I believe we were dealing with an inexperienced waiter. The service wasn't perfect like it was in the past, he told us we could not have unlimited nuts - we had the manager correct that, and he wouldn't allow us to modify our cocktails - again, someone else corrects that as well. Overall, great experience!

It's my husband's favorite restaurant when we are in the area. The interior is very nice with high ceiling and elegant Asian-themed decor. There were several private parties in some of their function rooms. The restaurant is conducive to carrying a conversation. Service staff are kind, attentive and helpful and never overbearing. You feel comfortable asking questions and they put you right at ease. We started with the Deep-fried shrimp toast with sweet and sour sauce and the Crab Roe Tofu Soup which were a delicious way to start our dinner. We were going to have the steamed grouper which we had last time but they had a limited selection in size since it was later in the evening. Since we were getting full and our flight was very early the next morning, we decided to go light on our main course. We enjoyed the very tasty Seafood Asado Pork Fried Rice, Urban farm purple bok choy with dried shrimp in garlic, and Stir-fried scallop, shrimp and cuttlefish with vegetables which had a slight spicy kick and beautifully presented in this crispy potato nest. The house tea they served stays warm with the tealight and it's a perfect complement to our delectable dinner. We were delightfully stuffed :) Another great experience at Man Ho Manila. We look forward to our next visit when we are in the area!

I had a lot of time to burn and I didn't want to wait at the gate. One restaurant got my attention. Hidden behind construction scaffoldings was China Tang. Well-lit restaurant with modern interiors. Funny that I was craving for good old Chinese food. Spoiler alert: China Tang food is freaking great. I was caught by surprise. If you're ordering one thing, get the steamed white fish with eggplant. I never knew that this combination worked. The flavorful fish mixed well with the soft eggplant slices. As usual, old favorites such as yang chow fried rice, pork shomai and sweet and sour pork were also ordered. I was actually expecting the food to be just okay. But wow, finally, NAIA has a decent restaurant. It helps that the place is not crowded like the others. This visit to China Tang makes me want to travel more so that I have more reasons to go to T3.

Sorry, no pictures to add as we were all too hungry to grab our phone as we grabbed the chopsticks instead! Xièxiè China Tang!!

Their combo meals are budget-friendly and even though they don't have an actual restaurant, the presentation of their food is good. I've tried their Pancit Canton and it's very tasty, not bad for its price. Their Lumpiang Shanghai, Sweet & Sour Pork and Lemon Chicken are pretty yummy as well. I've observed that most families go to the more known restaurants in the mall whenever they crave for Chinese food but El Presidente of Binondo is actually just as good. Well that's if you're comfortable with the environment of a food court.
