Being a Mom who enjoys food with my family, I’m always on the scout for something new and something tasty to bring for my family. Since we also love Chinese cuisines and seafoods, Xilaimen Seafood Restaurant is just the place for us to enjoy a sumptuous meal. Though the place is a far from us who would go that far just to taste something that you really like. Yes it was far us as it is located at Robinsons Magnolia just along the Aurora Blvd.
Xilaimen is one of the newest Chinese restaurants located in this busy mall. They are serving authentic seafood and Chinese cuisine to food lovers, like us, who are on the look for something other than the usual dishes. With their line of dishes to savor, food enthusiasts will definitely go hungry for more.

Last June 19, 2015 was a very significant day for Xilaimen Seafood Restaurant, as it opened its door to people hungry for authentic and flavorful Chinese dishes. This gives food lovers, enthusiasts, and certified foodies more opportunity to enjoy great food in a Chinese fine dining experience.
According to Ms. Andrea Joyce Ng-Wen, “Xilaimen means happiness in Chinese and this is what we want for the customers to experience whenever they dine in at our restaurant.” “An ambiance of joy as they enter the restaurant,” added by Ms. Wen. Not only with the restaurant but with the food that is served as well. By doing so, it makes the food experience more fun and enjoyable, more enticing for everyone to go back and have an exquisite dining experience.

Since Xilaimen is new on the radar I was able to join a Bloggers’ Night event where it introduced a number of mouthwatering dishes that made its name marked in the restaurant industry specializing in seafood dishes cooked in a traditional authentic Chinese way. Here are some of the dishes that you can truly enjoy at the restaurant...

Aside from the one that we tasted there are other dishes to enjoy with and there are plenty more when you visit the restaurant. So mommies address that craving for Chinese cuisine by visiting Xilaimen Seafood Restaurant located at the Upper Ground Floor, Al Fresco, Robinsons Magnolia.

Foodies, here is another restaurant that you'll definitely try to visit and taste their Chinese cuisines from different countries in Asia.  I have been passing through this area of the restaurant a lot often and I know that the place was one of the Chinese restaurant, the Super Bowl but this time it was new and the name of the restaurant is RED CHINA.  Just like Super Bowl this restaurants serves the same dishes.  So my visit to this place is to know whether it's enticing or not.


It's a  good luck, I think, because this is the first store of Red China which was opened last August 12, 2013.  They are serving small portion of their menu "we intended to serve it in a small portion to let their client try the different dishes that they offer" and that's according to Ms. Rachell, the Operation Manager of Red China.

So, in other words we are in for plenty of dishes.  Well, here are some of the foods that they offered to try and taste.  First was the soup, I am not into soup but this time I like their Scallop Chicken Soup, it has a different taste that you'll sure finish it, this consists of scallop, red grapes, and nuts.


Another soup that they let us have was the Apple Chicken Soup, I am so interested on this, imagine apple in a soup.  Ms Rachelle explained that they let it boil for almost an hour to let the taste of the soup fruitful enough.  It tastes a little bit of a citrus due to the apple flavor, so readers if you're taste buds ventures for another kind of soup, you definitely need taste it.


The soups were great.  So now up for the drinks, I first tasted their Sweet Red Bean which I definitely liked the sweetness but the Avocado Shake is not as sweet as I wanted it.


Now for some tasty Shrimp munching which was served in different flavors.  Let's start with the Spicy Shrimp which really have a bit of a kick and you can really taste the spiciness.


Shrimp rolled over with Bacon.


Next was one of my favorite, hahaha, the Roast Pork Belly which is their specialty.  Premium pork belly flavor infused with Red China's original Asian spice mix & slow roasted using ancient Chinese Roasting techniques. Served with yellow mustard on the side.





Here is another pork belly but this time it is fried, they serve it with spicy vinegar with a twist of sweet.



Of they also have Chicken, one of the well love meat of kids.  Chicken Chops with sweet and spicy sauce.


Of course, the Chicken Wings, this will definitely love by my kids, there is something different on the taste and you can have it without any sauce, it's really flavorful.


And the last, the Rice, of course Filipino loves rice and this is their version of fried rice.


But wait, there's more, a meal wouldn't be complete without the dessert, I tasted their version of Egg Tart.


This is something new in the metro, I ended up with a smile and a belly filled of yummies.  So better try their offerings.  It is located only at Trinoma. You can viisit their facebook account www.facebook.com/RedChinaBySuperBowl for some news, promos and offerings that they have.

New Year, new challenges, new experiences and New Food????

Well, mommy loves preparing foods for the family, unfortunately there are times that you need to venture for new taste, new delicacies and new preparation or set up of food.  Most of the time, I, myself crave for something different, a new taste of food. Gladly that I was invited for an event and take note it's a food tasting event.  Just the right time when I'm craving for something new.

The place was called Wangfu Chinese Cafe and it is found at Il Terrazzo Mall in Tomas Morato.  It's just around the place of Tomas Morato where most of the best places in the metro are located, by the way Tomas Morato is in Quezon City.   What's surprising about the place is that it can easily be spotted.

Wangfu Chinese Cafe restaurant that serves Singaporean and Cantonese cuisine in a modern cafe. According to the Owner, they have two (2) meaning for the restaurants name Wangfu.  For the literal Chinese meaning, "Wang" means King or Prince while the "Fu" means Place, so Wangfu literally means the Place of a King or Prince.  The other meaning or where it is taken is from the Chinese surname of both owner which "Wang" and still the "Fu" as a place or venue.  When put together defines as Wang's Place. 

Crunchy Sweet and Sour Pork

It was really an OMG! because my tummy was full that day.  My eyes grew big when I saw the foods served to us and they were amazingly tasteful.  I love trying and tasting different food of different country it gives me a sense of being into that place.  Isn't it nice thinking like that?

The Cereal Prawns

Beef Curry

Well, we were served with different dishes and I'll start with the Crunchy Sweet and Sour Pork which I could say was the blockbuster in our table, there were no leftover.  The next one is the Hainanese Chicken, unfortunately I am not a fan of poached dishes and I want my dish cooked well and done.
 Next is the Soy Chicken, this is somewhat nice on my taste bud. I like it!  Followed by the Curry Beef or is it Beef Curry not really sure how it was called.  What I like about beef that it was so tender and the curry was so light.  I love using curry when I am cooking, I want large amount of it on my dish. If you're not a fan of the curry, well, Wangfu's Beef Curry is the best for you because of its mild curry flavor.  This next one is new to me, the Cereal Prawns. It is coated with cereals, it tasted sweet and I loved it!  Not just because I really love shrimp but because this is something new on my taste bud.  French Beans Stir Fry, I don't eat vegetables that much but beans is one of the vegetables that I like to eat.  This beans of Wangfu was good with a kick of spicyness in it.

French Beans Stir Fry

Oh before I forgot, the drinks that I ordered was the Honey Peach Freeze which taste so good.  I like the sweetness and I'll definitely order that drinks again when I visit Wangfu.

Traditional Ice Kachang

Another food that I'm going to order again is the Traditional Ice Kachang.  It was also the blockbuster in our table.  Well, my friend reacted when she saw it in my FB status, she said that she missed eating Kachang she last ate one when she was still in Singapore.   I told her that she should visit Wangfu in Tomas Morate, Quezon City if she want to experience it again.

So, readers if you want to have a something new for your taste bud, better visit Wangfu Chinese Cafe to experience Singaporean Delicacies.
