Chow Fun, Putting a Spin of Fun and Flavor to Chinese Fares

 

When Bubba or I finish late in the office or get to my neighborhood area past dinnertime, we scour immediately the Wilson-Little Baguio-GH area for a good place to dine in.  Just last week, I commented how Wilson should have more interesting restaurants like the ones in Greenhills Town Center in Gilmore.  In short, we are running out of options.

Chow Fun enters the scene and spruces up my energy to dine again within the area.  The well-lighted dining area ushers you to go in.  Inside it is quite spacious and has that eclectic vibe from the seemingly barren unpainted walls adorned with pop art frames, rows of modern stylish drop lights, red upholstered couches and the mix and unmatched chairs.  Cute, quirky and fun.

The menu is simple.  They are on their soft opening so the advise was that the menu can still change. 

 

On the Table

Oriental Duck Rolls Php 165

Duck-filled fried spring rolls served with three kinds of dipping sauce

We ordered two kinds of appetizer.  One is their version of fried spring rolls with minced duck meat.  Biting into the crispy wrap reveals a tasty filling that has a salty shade.  Dip into any of the sauces served on the side to cut through that salty undertone.

Chinese Fun-Due Php 155

Seafood Balls, Fried Squid and Vegetable Cakes with a choice between two different fondue dips:  Cheese and Curry and Spiked Sweet Chili

To deviate from the usual appetizers, order the Chinese Fun-Due.  It’s a play on traditional Swiss or French fondue, but at Chow Fun, it is oriental styled.  There’s a communal pot over a spirit lamp and inside is the dipping sauce where long-stemmed forks are lowered to bathe the bite-size battered squid, fish ball or radish cake.
