Boon Tong Kee

It is an hour before the website exclusive screening of Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens. Feeling bored and being an emotional eater, I sat myself down in a booth at Boon Tong Kee, and ordered a "light lunch" of sweet and sour pork and hainanese-style chicken rice.Do NOT order the sweet and sour pork. (Let the Force guide you before choosing this dish.) It is a pretty-looking dish (arguably), but you are getting very thin "cafeteria-style" slices of pork good for one person, and sauce that is milder than Chowking's. The price most likely reflects how the dish was dressed up--a bed of salad greens and a generous sprinkling of what looked like mango bits, whole cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion. I can understand the "fusion" in the mango and tomato, but the salad greens seemed too "cheffy" for me. I don't get it.On the bright side, the hainanese-style chicken rice was really good. What possessed me to pair this with an assertively-flavored dish with a sauce...I'll never know. I guess I was just curious. I might have to come back and order the steamed chicken.

I am very happy. Chinese food really is comfort food. First time in Boon Tong Kee and the experience was great! Great, great food! My favorite is the #charsiu and the crispy pork belly. Ordered their chicken rice and everything just went well with it. God! I'm still thinking about all of that tonight. And surprisingly cheap! Winner!And our server Jara is one awesome girl. Very attentive and she even told us about the unlimited dimsum. Must try and I will definitely be back!

Decided to have a client dinner tonight at another regular restaurant. We decide to try several things to test the menu as we where both very very hungry. So here are the favorites we tried which was a mix of a few different items from seafood to soups and roast chicken.We tried for appetizers Prawn Toast with Green Tea Mayo (pretty good), half Crispy Roast Chicken (a little disappointed with this as was not as tender as I thought especially for the price), Think Soup with Fish Maw Crabmeat and Beancurd (a very good serving as they say it's for 3 people but u can certainly feed 5 people for sure with this serving), Yam Ring with Stir-Fried Seafood (Yam ring was a very interesting taste and pretty awesome with the fresh seafood) and of course we added all this with Yang Chow Fried Rice also this was a very large serving so for the rice lovers you certainly will love this :)

Nice that they've got affordable set meals on weekdays (120-150PHP). It's got an appetizer (just cucumbers in sauce), soup and iced tea included with your rice meal, which is pretty sulit. Service was nice and welcoming, nothing spectacular, though the waiter was very soft spoken I had to lean forward to hear him repeat our order. The place was clean and quiet, but they should lower the volume of their music. They've already got the television playing in the background and the songs didn't really match the ambiance haha.As for the food, I believe that while they don't have the greatest tasting dishes, they still taste good for its price. Portion size is big for the price and serving time is fast (about 10 mins, we were one of the only customers there at 8-9PM). Would come back when wanting a quick lunch/dinner at an affordable price.

Never intended to try their buffet tonight, but for their Pork Buns. At P348.00 per head, you get to try some of the staple Asian dishes like Sweet & Sour Pork, Beef Ho Fan, Roasted Chicken, Egg Drop Noodle Soup, Siomai, Butchi, and some Mixed Fruits. Well, the dishes didn't disappoint, but could have been served hotter. As to their signature Pork Buns, it's super lush! One of the best I have tried. Way better than Tim's for sure. The pork filling was succulent, sweet, and hot. The bun was chewy and had that perfect bite consistency. Very aromatic too.

I think I just might have found the contender for Kowloon House's siopao.I had the Premium Pork Bun. Two average pieces were served in a bamboo steamer. Sauce is definitely unnecessary for something this good. It has pulled pork, salted egg, and a slice of chorizo inside. The filling to dough ratio is 90:10. You can see the filling of the bun from the outside. It has that sweet and salty siopao goodness feel in every bite. It was "bitin" for two pieces. I was having a hard time figuring out how to best describe this bun.I also had a taste of their Pork Siomai. You'll have 4 pieces for Php85. Mind you, it looked like one of those pre-packaged siomai bundles you can find from the grocery but this one, man, it was devious. It tasted so good I had to order another one. It was soft, has that pork-texture-goodness, that orange caviar thing on top was also delicious. Putting soy sauce was optional because it was too delicious and can be eaten on its own.My mom had the Crispy Pork Belly Rice topping. T'was served lying on a bed of thai rice with a leaf of bok choy beside it. True to its name, it was crispy and juicy. Again, better eaten on its own.The look from the outside speaks traditional Chinese with the big yellow sign in front and the red panels in the entry way. However, the grey finishing of the walls, transparent placemats with floral patterns gives you the feel of a modern cuisine. It was surprisingly pleasant.Overall, it was good. Food's great. Place is cozy. Will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.

Dishes are enticing but the service is slow. For our lunch last Saturday, we ordered chiarsu, hainanese chicken, crispy liempo, pork and premium buns, cereal prawn and i forgot the other dish. I was so excited about the buns and ate them first. Before i even finished the pork bun, i felt disappointed. Maybe because tim ho wan's pork buns have been my benchmark when it comes to this. I even regret buying premium buns (geez). Hainanese chicken was pretty ok; my husband, on the other hand, wasnt happy about the chiarsu. All in all, boon tong kee is just the average chinese restaurant for us. Tim Ho Wan is still way better, in my opinion.

Mom had been wanting to eat at Boon Tong Kee for the longest time but its always full (and she's the type who doesn't like to wait). Three years after its opening, the hype has already died down. Meaning -- anyone can easily book a table now. We tried their Signature Boiled Chicken (this was tender, but I like Tao Yuan's more), Chicken Rice, Poached Chinese Spinach with Assorted Eggs, Braised Beancurd with Crabmeat and Fish Roe and Prawn Toast. Everything were decent but lacked the omph to wow. Thanks to their trio of sauces which did the trick to make the dishes taste better. Finished with their Sago Gula Melaka with Vanilla Ice Cream which I enjoyed the most.

I love laksa. I love the combination of coconut milk, shrimp paste & sambal, but this one didn't have any of those 'qualities' that i'm looking for in a bowl of laksa. It was the worst laksa I've ever had so far. Chicken Rice was moist & tasty
