| - I'd have to agree with the reviewer below. This isn't as good as the Chow King (or Red Ribbon, Goldilocks, Jollibee) in the Philippines - but maybe that's to be expected of any 'ethnic' food that's recreated thattaway.
I remember having this conversation with a Vietnamese girl studying in the US, & a Mexican guy (yes, Mexican, not American) - we all agreed that no matter what, food back home tastes much better, even when the exact same ingredients are used in the recipe. The Mexican guy added that in the US, the Mexican food he eats always tastes like they used beef from a cow they killed like 3 yrs. ago. He said that the difference in taste doesn't do their food any justice.
For homesick Filipino kabayans, this is as good as it gets. I thought the food here was a bit pricey, but this is why my friends keep telling me to stop mentally converting Philippine Pesos to US dollars & vice versa - because I will never get around to buying anything that way. 3 stars is fair - expect good food, but don't get too excited or expect your taste buds to bring you right back home with their food.
