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.

Filipino culture is richly embroidered with both Spanish and Chinese influences, with cuisine as the centerpiece attraction.
How the two cultures have blended perfectly in its host Filipino country is revealed in the names that Chinese dishes were called around the 1900s, with some names surviving through the present era.


Ever heard of Morisqueta Tostada? Pueco con Agreo Dulce? Camaron Rebosado, Amplaya con Carne? All these spanish sounding dishes are actually delicious, authentic Chinese food. Fried Rice, Sweet Sour Pork, Shrimps in Batter and Bitter Melon with Beef are what they are, respectively. And certified foodies of yester years did not go hundting for "Chinese Food" when they had food cravings or wanted to eat out with family and friends. They looked for "Comida China" (literally Chinese food in Spanish" which to old Manilans referred to that distinct style of panciteria fare in Binondo for the early 1900's to the 1970's.

Now, Panciteria San Jacinto- one of the favourite Chinese restaurants of Manilans in the pre-war and post-war era which has survived to this day- has changed its name to Comida China de Manila. Located along E. Rodriguez, Jr. Ave. (C5) in Pasig City, the present day Panciteria San Jacinto is favourite destination of Chinese food aficionados in the metro. Big Chinese families, Pinoy families on weekend feasts, regular foodies, office workers int he area and seekers of good Chinese food pay regular pilgrimages to the place to satisfy their palates. The lure of bountiful lauriats, all time Chinese favourites and the discovery of new things on the menu (like dimsum and the unique, flavourful Comida China Soup) have lured them to Panciteria San Jacinto-Pasig since it opened in 1996.


"Panciteria San Jacinto was one of the famous and favourite destinations for "comida china" since the pre-war years (it was first established in 1894), and we have been privileged to keep its legacy going through the years. We are happy to have revived the name and identity of the famous restaurant. We are also proud that we have taken its cuisine to new heights and made Panciteria San Jacinto's comida china available to younger generations, thanks to our joint venture with its original owners. "explains Benny V. Torres, President of Comida China de Manila, Inc.

But Panciteria San Jacinto is only one of several Chinese restaurants that catered to old Manilans in that bygone era, Benny says. Only few have survived to this day.In July this year, the Torres family, which runs Panciteria San Jacinto-Pasig and other restaurants like Mom and Tina's and the Rd Rickshaw Rstaurant in Pampanga, decide to change the name of Panciteria San Jacinto to Comida China de Manila.


"We want to keep history alive and get younger generations in touch with the glorious past of Chinese restaurants along T. Pinpin street in Binondo, which by the way was originally named Calle San Jacinto. We chose Comida China de Manila as our new name because it is representative of all the panciterias of that era. Besides , the restaurant has evolved into something more than a panciteria. TO begin with our Pasig branch, a full service 400-seater restaurant, is well appointed and comfortable. Oour menu remains faithful to the classic Cantonese fare served in Binondo, complemented with new disher put together by our Chief Cook who began his career in the very first Panciteria Sn Jacinto restaurant along T. Pinpin stress. The new name will also suit the vintage Manila look of our interiors, which is in the works,"Benny adds.

The Torres family chose to take a different from the old panciteria concept of the Pasig restaurant by opting for a more formal and upscale ambience,says Benny, but the food at Comida China de Manila remains affordable to its clientele. Served ind desired portions to match both pocket and appetite, old favourites and new fare are offered in poquito (half small or grazing portions), small, medium and large serving sizes.


Catering and in house feasts are all still part of the COmida China de Manila offerings.

Younger generations who may not have ever heard of the term "comida china" are suddenly discovering the charm of experiencing Chinese food with Spanish titles, observes Benny.

"It's part of our mixed culture. The food itself and the names of the dishes are all part of our history. Perhaps through our new name we will be able to make younger generations become more aware and proud of our colourful past and the interwoven influences in our history," he concludes.
