Moreover, the combination of its texture and flavor makes the dish stand out from the rest of the menu. Its sweet, sour, and savory taste can really make you go for that extra rice. Chowking’s take on this classic Chinese dish was really brilliant. It’s no other than their Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet. Are you familiar with the favorite budget meal of students, the Siomai Rice? Yup, I think Chao Fan helped a lot in popularizing that!Īmong the lengthy menu of delicious Chinese food of Chowking, there’s another dish that really hit the spot for Filipinos. I think the Chao Fan is what inspired many of the new dim sum places today. The Chao Fan was a go-to food for many Filipinos! It’s very delicious, cheap, and the best part? It can easily fill up your hungry tummy. And during its glory days, Chinese fast food was a new thing for many.Ĭhowking captured our hearts through its wide variety of delicious menu, there’s the famous Chinese Style Chicken Lauriat, Asado Siopao, Congee, Lomi, Pancit, Buchi, Halo-Halo, and the ever-famous Chao Fan. Chowking was very unique because it served authentic Chinese cuisine dishes at a cheaper price than most restaurants. It’s no other than our favorite local Chinese fast food, Chowking!Ĭhowking was founded in 1985, long before it was bought by JFC. As the years went by, JFC took control of many local and international businesses such as Greenwich, Red Ribbon, Mang Inasal, Coffee Bean, and just recently, Tim Ho Wan! There’s also another fast-food chain that JFC has owned for a long time now. Jollibee started small, but look at it now. It’s none other than the Jollibee Foods Corporation. In our country alone, more and more fast-food chains are beginning to expand worldwide with the help of their success in the Philippines! The best example? I know that you know what I’m talking about. This is because the investors knew how crazily Filipinos are about fast food! Food chains like Popeyes, Tim Ho Wan, Shake Shack, Panda Express, and many more easily captured the attention of many Filipinos. Especially nowadays that more and more foreign fast-food chains are beginning to set up their business in the country.
