Tai Koo HK Roast Makati Branch

More than an hour before this, I had coffee and a pastry plate at another place; I was still full. But my daughter and her cousins were hungry after their session at the gym. The broth was good; it tasted authentic HK. The slivers of beef were tender and the wontons were OK (not soggy).

There's not much customers when we arrived but the food took time and they should have at least provided the soup along with the food but we had to ask the waiter for it. I am not sure though in my picture it looks good but the food was not appetizing. They provided free siomai but didn't provide condiments you still to ask them again. I liked the ube cheese buchi.

Ordered roast duck/wonton noodles. Absolute bummer of a meal. Duck tasted like it was reheated in the microwave multiple times over the day leading to this dry rubbery excuse for what may or may not have been fowl. The wontons were not terrible, nor were they great though they tasted strangely similar to canned luncheon meat. The soup was tasty and noodles firm though the temperature was only slightly hotter than lukewarm, missing the point of what makes chinese noodle soup so comforting. Food here used to be good. Not only have they jacked up prices but the quality of the food has degraded drastically. Avoid at all costs and just go to the chinese food stall in the 2f foodcourt instead.

Food was good. It's not what we expected, but what we ordered still filled us up. Will just try something else from the menu next time.

It would have been 5 if they allowed me partner my roasted duck with a soy chicken, unfortunately they cannot modify their menu. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. I missed Singapore food and this is the closest thing available around San Antonio, Ortigas area.
