Hong Kong Roast started out as a side business for Mary Chan who
was inspired by her travels and gustatory adventures abroad. Featured in the
Hong Kong Roast menu are favorite local dishes from Hong Kong. Mary recreated
these dishes to provide a pocket of sincere, casual Chinese dining in the
middle of busy, impersonal Makati.
The offerings on the menu are simple and straight to the point.
No pretensions and no fancy presentations.
The Salted Baked Chicken is an easy favorite. Baked under a
blanket of rock salt, the dish is in fact a gentler, simpler version of
chicken, with only a slight tang of saltiness lingering in its meat despite its
name. Another simple light dish to try is their Celery Fish. With its thick
sauce and fresh bits of celery, the textures of crunch and softness immersed in
the fullness of the sauce complement each other beautifully.
Some of the meatier dishes in the Hong Kong Roast menu are the
Sate Beef Hofan, and the Barbeque Roast Pork. Each meat dish bears a distinct
Chinese flavor. The thick noodles of the Beef Hofan are a great pair to the
beef, while the sauce made from the drippings of the Barbeque Roast Pork
definitely adds richness to the tender pork slices.
Sweet and Sour Pork, another dish that has been branded as a
Filipino favorite, has found an authentic reincarnation in this restaurant,
with the rendition perfectly balancing the two contrasting flavors.
As rice is a Filipino staple, the regular Filipino meal is never
complete without it even with the most delectable viands. Hong Kong Roast does
it right with their lively Yang Chao Fried Rice.
Now, there are no more excuses to appreciate the rich cuisine we have inherited from our East Asian neighbors.
