last night i had spicy wanton noodle soup and pork chao fan....
their spicy wanton noodle soup is really, really spicy...in fact i would like to suggest that they change its name to super, super spicy wanton noodle soup....i mean it is really, really spicy...ow have i said that already....well, i'll say it again...it is really, really spicy....you would already know it is spicy as soon as you open the cover of the bowl....the spicy scent (if there is such a thing) penetrates the nostrils like a strong perfume would....or like how stinking garbage would....oh, erase that.....who wants to imagine decomposing trash while discussing food.....anyway, after a few sips of the soup you wold already perspire as if you've finished a 5-km run or spent an hour on the treadmill....for those who are not fond of spicy food you can have it in 'regular' serving....and for those who prefer the soup with just a tinge of chili you can order the 'regular' and just ask for free chili sauce....this way you can control the level of 'spicy-ness'....you can have wanton noodle soup for only PhP 49....
spicy wanton noodle soup...if you get the regular versin the soup is clear...
the pork chao fan is not a favorite of mine....i prefer chorizo chao fan which was oringinaly part of their 'value kings' or what many fondly calls '49ers'....unfortunately, it is no longer available...they removed it from their menu along with the rest of the '49ers'....but anyway, the pork chao fan is also okay....it is not as flavorful as the chorizo variety but if you add soy sauce or chili sauce on it the taste improves a lot....you can get a big serving of it for only PhP 39....
pork chao fan...a bit pale looking
one of my friends oredered orange chicken....i can say it is good....the slight orange taste makes the chicken more exciting......however it is a bit too sweet for me.....for those who like sweet preparations this is definitely the one for you.....i didn't get the price though.....it is difficult to remember coz you can have it alone or as part of 'combos'......

another friend ordered halo-halo for dessert....to those who do not know what 'halo-halo' is, it is a dessert composed of crushed iced mixed with a vierty of fruits and an assortment of sweet and colorful toppings....milk is added but they usually put just a little....but no worries....you can ask for extra milk for free....aside from the free extra serving of milk, i recommend chowking halo-halo because they are really generous with the toppings....
fun size halo-halo in a bigger bowl
the chowking branch we usually go to is the one along taft cor pedro gil street in manila....the crew there are great....even the store managers are wonderful people.....
before, chowking has this reputation that they serve food late (remember the line 'eh kasi niluluto'.....this is an attempt to explain why they take a long time to prepare orders).....since it became part of jollibee group their service has tremendously improved.....
