We finally made our way to YenYen after they moved to a brighter and airier location on P. Guevara.The restaurant never appealed to us when they were across from Mien San because it was dark and looked really seedy. Upon entering the new YenYen, my husband exclaimed that he liked the feel of the place and he hoped that the food would be good since it's located in our neighborhood.
As expected, my son said that he will choose the dishes to order. I couldn't believe it when he ordered fried everything since these were the dishes the server recommended.
Fried Wantons at Php 180. This was nothing great. I think that I will order the steamed variety on our next visit.
Taiwan Porkchops at Php 220. This is their house specialty. The chops were really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My son loved this dish.
Taiwan Special Fried Rice at Php 195. This rice is really good. It's somewhat like sticky rice and has the texture of machang or kiampong. The serving was sufficient for the three of us.
8 Treasures at Php 120. This is their version of halo-halo with shaved ice. I needed this to remove all the oily taste in my mouth. This dish was quite good.
We thoroughly loved our lunch at YenYen. The service staff was very accommodating. They even gave us free coffee. The location is also great because there are four tea shops a block away. So, naturally my son had to cross over to the Kozui branch for his milk tea fix. Then, he exclaimed that we have to eat at YenYen again because he wants to try their asado which looked like it was wrapped in something and then fried. Yes, it looked really yummy on their wall poster. We shall return.
