Chinese Cuisine in Galleria: Mr. Choi Kitchen

There are a lot of Chinese Restaurant's in Manila, most of the authentic Chinese restaurants are located in Chinatown, Manila. But we found a Chinese Restaurant in Ortigas, Pasig City inside Robinson's Galleria, Mr. Choi Kitchen. Me and my husband tasted quite a lot of Chinese cuisines since we are based in Singapore, and we think that Mr. Choi is quite a good choice.

Tip1: Visit Mr. Choi Kitchen at Robinson's Galleria, Level2 East Wing.

 Tip2: The place is cozy and the dishes are affordable. Portion of food is decent, most are for sharing.

Tip3: For big groups it's advisable to make reservations at telephone nos. 638-4523.

 Tip4: Begin your meal with hot pumpkin soup, very healthy.

Also, try their pineapple fried rice. One order is good for two, served hot as well.

The fish with beancurd in a pot is also delish, enjoy the saucy dish.

Try their dimsums, we tried "siu mai" as spelled here in Singapore but in Manila it's siomai.

Tip5: For this meal, we only paid almost Php1000.00, approximately SGD30. A sumptuous and nourishing meal, happy bellies!
