My dinner meeting with some friends was set at the Robinson's Magnolia Mall along Aurora Boulevard. Since I had arrived ahead of the others, I decided to choose Mr. Choi Kitchen as our meeting place, food was fresh and reasonably priced (around P400 per head). This restaurant is a regular tenant at the Robinson's Malls, and I haven't seen their branches located elsewhere.
I was hungry, so while waiting for the other, I started off with chicken feet as my appetizer. It was cooked tender, spiced just evenly, and served hot from the steamer. As some friends started to arrive, we ordered some soy chicken, which we munched on as we started our meeting.
Delicious viands came in succession--beef with ampalaya, scallops with broccoli, spicy chicken, camaron rebosado (this is an old favorite, something like curled tempura), and steamed fish fillet with garlic. Naturally, the meal came with salted fish fried rice, another all-time favorite.
I had wanted some roasted duck and live suahe, but I was informed that these were out of stock. Well, maybe next time.
If you are looking for mid-range Chinese food, something better than the fast food chains, but not as pricey as the elegant banquet restaurants, this is a good trade-off. Simple, fast, and tasty.
