Mandarin Sky Seafood and Shabu Shabu Restaurant

About the food:

There are a lot of chinese restaurants located in Metro Manila, and here is one of them, Mandarin Sky Seafood and Shabu Shabu Restaurant. I just want to share some of the food photos I have and so I am blogging about it.

Where to buy and how much:

Mandarin Sky is kocated at Banawe corner Atok Street Quezon City.If you drop by the Banawe area to have your car fixed, then you should try this place for its value for money. A reasonable budget would be from PHP300-PHP500 per person.

Rating: 7/10

Rating a chinese restaurant and comparing it to other chinese restaurants can be difficult. In this case, I do not find any dish that is unique in taste and flavor for Mandarin Sky. Their dishes are just at par with any other restaurant offering chinese cuisine.

King Bee Chinese Cuisine

About the food:

Ever since, our country the Philippines, has been home to a whole lot of chinese restaurants (ranging from the fastfood level up to the expensive authentic class). The good thing about the variety is that you do not have to eat and spend at a fine-dine restaurant just to taste good chinese cuisine.

King Bee Chinese Food is positioned for value-for-money. They give you great tasting chinese food and charge you reasonable prices. In the past, they only had branches in a few provinces. But now, they are slowly expanding to the metropolis. 

Certainly, there has been negative feedback about a number of chinese food, applicable to all restaurants. Some doubt that the cheap siopao being sold is really filled with pork. Others would complain that the noodle soup they had was filled with lots of MSG, to make it more delicious. Still others would say that they are not content with the level of cleanliness they maintain. So far, I have not heard any of these concerns apply to King Bee.  


Moving on, one type of chinese food I am particularly pleased about is their dimsum. The ingredients are fresh as well as steamed (not deep-fried with oil and mixed with MSG), making it much more healthy.


Where to buy:

Check out their website link below to view their list of branches.

Dimsum is a healthy treat worth consuming. The process of steaming allows the food to keep more of its nutrients (as opposed to frying or cooking in broth). Furthermore, steamed food is unlikely to have burnt black portions that are almost always seen in grilled food.
