Eating out with my old gang was an impromptu birthday event, and we decided to meet in the Wilson area in Greenhills for a fast dinner. Luckily, a new Chinese eating place presented itself and we decided to try Chow Fun, billed as a modern Chinese bistro. The interiors were modern and looked like a yuppie place, with white tables and a motley of seat colors.
I don't think the food was regional--didn't taste an exact Cantonese, Taiwanese, Beijing or Szechuan flavor, so I'm guessing it was probably a mish-mash of sorts. We had Chinese fondue (a touch of the Swiss style), fish patties, hot & sour soup, fried chicken, fried pork, beef in coffee sauce and crunchy soft-shelled crab.
The food was generally good, and I was pleasantly surprised with the soft-shelled crabs (this is something that I don't get too see much)--crunchy and crisp, with just the right amount of spice. However, I was looking for the coffee flavor in the beef, but detected only a faint hint--is this really the way it is cooked? Well, in any case, we were quite happy as we left; our celebrant host probably spent something like an average of P500 per head.
