Let me just announce to everyone,…. THE PRESIDENT IS BACK!!  Its been more than a year since it closed and a lot of chinese here in manila has been missing one of the best Chinese  restaurant in town. So i bet a lot of people are happy that they opened!!

And to be invited to a lunch party here, i didnt even think twice in going.

THe place had renovations, the giant chandelier is now looking more modern in style. The place is brighter and cleaner looking. But what is important here is …… Is the food still great? Let me try it out for you’

Mixed appetizers-  president01presidentwith roasted pork asado, century egg, soy chicken, Jelly fish, Roasted Goose- everything was good, the Pork asado was very tender and has the perfect meat and fat ratio. Very juicy. The Roasted Goose was also delicious.

Cha Misua- carbohydrate overload!!! president1president2lots of noodles with bits and pieces of meat and seafood plus the famous orange quail egg. This dish was seasoned perfectly and cooked just right. The noodles are aldente and doestn break apart easily. It wasnt dry.

Breaded fisn with ham-  president3this was my least favorite dish of the day. The breading made the fish dry. It would be better if they used a batter kind of breading.. like the one they use in fish and chips. It could have maintain the moisture of the fish.

Scallops and Brocolli-  president4both items were cooked excellently. THe brocolli maintained its color and crispness even when cooked. The scallops were easy to eat. Dip it in chinese bagoomg to enhance the taste.

Shredded chicken soup-president5 president6this was just okay

Suahe- big size suahe, steamed to perfection. the suahe meat was sweet and plump. Peeling was nto a chore… evident that it was cooked just right.

Braised abalone with mushroom and cabbage- president7abalone when not cooked properly tend to be tough. this was easy to eat and yummy.,

Steam Lapu-lapu-president8 the soy ginger oil douse on the fish was just perfect for the fish THe flesh was soft and silky.

Fried Crab in ginger and garlic-president9 this was just lip smacking and finger licking good. grabe, i could eat this everyday.

Almong jelly-president11i just topped it with the buchi:)

THe entire meal was just exquisite. could wait to try the other dishes that made me love this resto so much like their fried squid, king dao spareribs.. yummy yummypresident12
