Our Eastwood stroll was finally over, once again our tummy cargo was getting depleted--intensive shopping had worn down the energy levels of Vicky & Monique! We settled for something different for dinner--spicy Chinese food from the Hunan and Szechuan provinces! Most of the Chinese restaurants in town serve Cantonese or Fookien style cooking, and Komrad is one of the few restaurants that serve the spicy variety.
As you can see, we had a lot of dishes, and we specifically asked the chef to make everything with mild spice. From the top, the pork strips came with pickled taro leaves, General Cho's chicken was crunchy and slightly sweet, while the spinach in egg white and century eggs were a smash hit with Monique. The fried tilapia was crunchy but a bit salty for my taste, the beef strips were crunchy-cooked with egg batter--this was quite spicy, the spiciest of them all; and last, the fried rice reminded me of kiampung (but wasn't sticky).
Chairman Mao's portrait stares down on you while you eat! It's a wild marketing gambit by the restaurant owner Marvin Agustin (he's also a TV actor), but apparently the crowds flowing in can attest to the popularity of the place. Roughly P500 per head.
