King Chef Seafood Restaurant

Chopsticks Please!

Next to Filipino food, the next most common type of food you would find in the Philippines is Chinese food.

But with the numerous Chinese restaurants out there, how could one tell the difference between excellent Chinese and so-so Chinese (food)? Unless you are a trained Chinese chef or you have an educated palate, it's hard to tell the difference. Particularly because Chinese food has spices and herbs in hundreds, the distinctions are almost undecipherable.  

At King Chef, the distinction is straightforward. Each serving of food aims to satisfy the most discerning food critics but any average hungry guy would still notice that this resto serves impeccable dishes. 

The restaurant has a big kitchen with a glass wall so the diners could see what's inside. There were peking ducks hanging vertically on a rod near the kitchen. A typical display of a Chinese restaurant. Every time I see such, I remember  my experience one time a few years ago when me and my friend tried to eat peking duck for breakfast in one of the busy corners of Bangkok and we almost vomited since we were not accustomed to the authentic taste of the dish.

Here at King Chef, the aftertaste, the flavors are also distinguishable and surprisingly delicious. I usually  get headache after eating in a Chinese Restaurant serving oily dishes, but never did I get the headache with King Chef's food. It's like the difference between cheap perfume and authentic perfume: the difference can be subtle at first but as you inhale the scents are comparably quite contrasting. The same can be said about King Chef dishes, the flavors posses a very powerful yet subtle and spiritual taste and aroma. 

A taste of King Chef will change the way you know Chinese cuisine. This is definitely the kind of place that you can’t help but want to keep a bit of a secret. 

I last had a steamed egg when I was in Melaka, and I was delighted to have it again this time.

Our spread like we're celebrating a feast in HK

They have a promo every afternoon where you can have dimsums for half the price. We became queens of gluttony in an instant, couldn't help it... the dishes were really good.

I love this dish, it was so juicy on the inside

Earth-shattering delis, excellent ambiance, and infallible service! The server even showed us how to properly cut the noodles using chopsticks.

Who wouldn't love siomai in a bamboo steam?

There goes that sexy duck

If you're not too serious about your food and would just like to try something different and enjoyable, this would still be one of your best options for Chinese Cuisine.
