Zong Restaurant

When Groupon offered a 50% off coupon for Zong Restaurant, I didn't think twice about buying the 600 peso coupon for 1,200 pesos worth of food. I've eaten here ages ago and I recall that the food was quite good. Furthermore, I like it that they have a big sign which says that they don't have MSG in all their dishes.

The menu stated that all their dishes were for good for 2-3 persons. We decided to order fried rice plus two main dishes. It's strange that their vegetable dishes cost as much as the meat dishes. Thus, my son suggested that we forego the veggies.
Yang Chow Fried Rice at Php 288. This was cooked to perfection. You could actually separate each grain of rice which is a good sign of excellent rice. The shrimps were also plump and large.
Chicken with Salted Egg Yolk at Php 438, This was a house specialty and so we decided to try it. This was served without any sauce and it works as is. It's full of flavor. Some pieces were boneless while some were not. The texture is strange though.You know that grainy taste of the salted egg yolk? You can taste that in this chicken dish.
Roast Combination Platter at Php 468. Every time we eat in a Chinese Restaurant, my son almost always orders this platter because it has his favorite suckling pig and roast duck. We were happy with this platter. The skin of the suckling pig was super crunchy. The roast duck and the chicken were just as good. We even loved the hoisin sauce that was served with this dish. We didn't like the asado though. It was too dry. Maybe that's why it's not in the menu.

The servings are ample. We had some leftover of all the dishes. So, I suppose that our three dishes are  actually good for four persons. When we got home, I clicked to buy another voucher. Yes, the food was great.
