Frequently go to Power Plant, but it was only a week or two ago that I got to eat at Boon Tong Kee. I don't know, it just never appealed to me tbh. Not until I saw the displayed pork buns and the fact that I wanted to have something to write about in these foodie apps lolz.
Anyway.
So we went and ate here. We got their pork buns, siomai, fried beef fillet w/black pepper, fried rice, and something we didn't order: pork noodles. lol my mom ordered a chicken dish but they seemed to have confused it with the pork noodles.
The pork bun was good and I think it'd be a filling snack to get on the go. Didn't like the beef fillet, texture was too tough for me and I just didn't like the taste of it. Fried rice was alright. Pork noodles was good, although in the middle of eating I saw what seemed to be a small insect (roach huhu) floating around. Called the attention of the manager and they assured us that it was just some sort of spice and asked us if we wanted to get a new one - to which we declined. Our appetite plummeted hahahahuhu, but they did remove the pork noodle thing from our bill though, so that was nice of them.
Service is good, they serve their food fast. Ambiance is just okay.
Will probably come back, but only for a merienda of pork buns and siomai hehe.
Probably the best-priced Dimsum all you can that I've seen at P299. Extended until further notice, you can choose from a wide array of dimsum, plus unlimited Iced Tea! Everything we've tried was worth it.
Baked Pork Bun - ❤️
Steamed Pork Bun - tastes like Siopao Asado
Crispy Beancurd - 💚 the Greentea Mayo that goes with it
Siomai - very tasty
Crabstick Siomai - comes with eggdrop sauce, liked this more than the Siomai
Fried Springroll - contains meat, like lumpiang shanghai. Liked the sweet dipping sauce
Note: Late Review
Chinese New Year is fast approaching. Some malls have their signature homage for the approaching festivities.
Power Plant has food stalls that sells Chinese fare. One of them was Bong Ton Kee. They sell dimsum, pork buns (steamef and baked) and laksa.
After dessert, i decided to get some laksa for takeaway. Reasonably priced at php 90, the serving is just right. Noodles, bean sprouts, tofu, shrimp and the laksa broth. Asked for extra chili garlic oil, just in case the broth aint spicy enough for my standards. Best decision as the broth lacks heat, i even added chili powder and oil to reach the level of spice that i prefer. The noodles are soft, despite the lack of heat the broth is flavorful.
