Mei Wei Chinese Kitchen is one of the hidden food spots in the Pasay / Airport area. Once a seedy side of Pasay is now a bustling place of commerce, thanks to the recent development of nearby Resorts World and the completion of the Aurora (Tramo) flyover and Skyway extension.Mei Wei translates to "Delicious" and this restaurant does have a plethora of great Chinese eats. From pipping hot dimsums to umami filled main courses. We had a fill of their "up coming" dishes such as the beancurd roll and the prawns wrapped in wanton. I liked the beancurd because it was generously filled and was good enough to serve as a viand. The prawn was soft and delicate and the added crunch from the wanton was a nice touch. Even without the sweet and sour sauce, the prawn had a natural sweet flavor that signaled its freshness.The Salt and Pepper Spareribs was good too, nothing too extraordinary that i haven't tasted from other Chinese restaurants but it did pair well with the Yang Chow Fried Rice. Suprisingly, it was not as oily as i would expect. The Yang Chow was packed with all the goodness one would expect from this lunchtime staple. The highlight of our meal was the Roasted Duck. It was served with hoisin sauce and oh was it so soft and succulent. The crisp skin was flavorful even without the hoisin sauce.Overall, it was a pleasant afternoon. Place was enough to accomodate 40 people at once. Service was fast considering it was brisk afternoon full of hungry customers. Recommended.Disclaimer: Sponsored by Mei Wei Chinese Kitchen.

Product: We were served some of their best dishes like the Yangchow Fried Rice, Hakaw, Spinach Seafood Soup, and Sizzling Tenderloin. And we were also served new dishes which weren't on the menu yet. And of course dessert! Mango Sago and Masachi with White Chocolate Sauce.Needless to say, not a dish served in front of us, disappointed me. Every platter has its own taste that really makes you want for more. The dimsums were so good, you'll almost feel like you're in China eating in a local restaurant. One that stood out the most for me is the Shrimp wrapped in noodles. It's another take on tempura without losing the taste that a shrimp gives with the flavor of the noodles they mixed so well. The spinach soup will surprise you with how delicious it is. Enough to satisfy your appetite while waiting for the other dishes. Their take on Chinese food with an affordable price and delicious food will make your visit worth it! It may not be accessible to many but I still suggest going there just for the sake of it! The desserts will make you so happy! Even though I already ordered mango juice, which tastes the same as the Mango Sago, it still had sago and mango tidbits that's very pleasing to it. The Masachi overwhelms you with a peanut flavor and surprises you with that rich white chocolate taste once you chew it. Venue: Like I said, the place isn't so accessible to a lot of people- but the visit will be so much worth it. The best part is that the restaurant is a part of a hotel. So if you're looking for a place to stay, and a place to eat at without having to exhaust yourself. This is the place for you. Comfort yourself with good food and a nice play to stay at! The servers were very attentive. They clean your table as soon as the next entree is served. You should give it a try! It will be worth your time.
