Kung Hei Fat Choi at Eat Well

This was actually my Mother's grand idea. It was Chinese New Year (February 3) and she wanted us to have a simple Chinese dinner to usher in the year of the metal rabbit. We had other choices like Lutong Macau in Jupiter, but since they weren't picking up (reservations were a must during that time) we decided to go for a restaurant who actually answered calls.

We ended up eating at Eat Well Delicious Kitchen this time at The Fort. No regrets here, I've been missing their Xiao Long Bao every since we ate it at there Greenhills branch. It was love at first bite. I remember fellow blogger, Smarla, hunting down the best Xiao Long Bao in town and I just had to recommend this to her. Hope she was able to have a taste! :)

This was our Kung Hei Fat Choi feast:

Of course, we had the beloved Xiao Long Bao.


If before we only had 4 pieces, this time we had 8 lovely pieces. It was served piping hot, and you have to gingerly sip on the broth inside the dimsum. Even if it cooled down, the wrapper did not harden. Great things really come in small packages! Love it!! :)

I ordered this: Fried Porkchop with Vegetable Rice.

Again, this was love at first bite. Crispy on the outside, but super tender and juicy on the inside. Definitely a meat lover's wet dream! Totally recommended!

Since Mom's old school cool, she just had to have PANCIT or Noodles since it was a piyesta (fiesta). We ordered their Birthday Noodles.


Although their sauce was a bit bland, it was really good. They had very generous portions of the noodles and their sahog. They had liver, lots of vegetables and I'm not really sure if those orange ones were quail eggs. We had to take this home because we couldn't finish it anymore!

It was a great way to celebrate Kung Hei Fat Choi. Although we're not Chinese in any way whatsoever, it's nice to celebrate it with them. Mom and I love Chinese food, so it was also a chance to pig out on it.

Oh and by the way, there are a lot NET buildings, Eat Well is in Net Quad Building near St. Luke's Medical Center and HSBC. Mom and I sort of got lost, we had to walk and ask around. So don't get confused.

Going Gaga Over Chinese!

Oh yes I love Chinese food. From your next-door Chowking to a North Park, I would definitely eat there! I've had my fair share of authentic Chinese food when Mom and I traveled to Hong Kong and Macau oh-so-long-ago..and sometimes your palate just looks for that same authentic taste! Going to Binondo can be quite a hassle, but luckily there are restaurants here in the Metro that offer quality Chinese food, besides North Park and that small restaurant in Shopwise Libis that I raved about!

So we stumbled upon really good Chinese haunts namely: Mongkok and Eat Well Delicious Kitchen. Both restaurants really deserve a blog of their own, but Chinese will be Chinese right?

First stop is Mongkok. This little restaurant is found in Rockwell in Makati. Mom and I have passed by this without really giving it much thought, until Mom started craving for Pata Tim. We were so surprised at how cheap it was, we decided we would definitely come back here!

Then when my BFFs and I were looking for something cheap, I saw myself sitting in a table in Mongkok in Rockwell ordering (YET AGAIN!) my favorite Soya Chicken Noodle Soup.

Here are the other dishes ordered by our over-ordering friend Amanda.
Yang Chow Fried Rice (a Chinese resto must-have)

Braised Beef Brisket Pot

My friend who was on a stringent diet only had Stuffed Tofu

Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs

This dimsum was really good. Sad thing is I've forgotten the name!

And last but not the least, the first time I met and fell in love with Shao Long Pao! I was sooo amazed by the soup inside the dimsum! Love at first sight!

Overall, Mongkok may just be this unnoticeable little restaurant in Rockwell. But their tasty and CHEAP dishes can sure attract hungry yuppies. It's a great food find and right now while writing this, I am missing Mongkok with all my heart!

Next stop after reading a blog entry from one of my favorite food bloggers, TripOrTreats, I decided to treat Mom to a little and belated birthday dinner at Eat Well Delicious Kitchen. There are 2 branches, one in The Fort, and the other where were we ate in was at Greenhills.

The baby of Law Kwok Keung, chef extraordinaire of Shangri-La, this Chinese restaurant boasts of authenticity. It must have been really good, because even if the restaurant was located at the liblib part of the huge Greenhills arcade, families kept coming in even at 9.30pm! And when Mom and I were here it was right smack in the middle of the Undas long weekend and Greenhills was almost deserted! They must be doing really good Chinese food!

Learning from past mistakes, Mom and I decided to just order dishes we could share. So here's what we ordered! First is my love, Xiao Long Pao. Boy was this dimsum the bomb! You can just have this with Yang Chow and it's over! :) By the way, for the Xiao Long Pao addicts out there, you could order the 8-pieces!

Mom wanted to try this because it sounded cool. Three Cup Chicken Hot Pot. It did not disappoint! I loved the spiciness to this dish!

Of course, Yang Chow Fried Rice! I don't eat rice, so Mom had this all to herself!

We ordered a soup dish through the recommendation of ToT in her Eat Well blog, Wonton Noodle Soup. Dear Lord, it was better than I expected. I couldn't get over the wanton floating around! And the soup was really tasty! YUMMY! It was so good I forgot to take a picture of it! But it's something I'll come back to Eat Well for, plus the Xiao Long Pao!

So if craving for something Chinese, I totally recommend these 2 restaurants! You won't be sorry! They're really good and really cheap! You'd spend less than a thousand, and you'd be full to the brim!
