MUNCHSTER BITES: Wok Inn


Don’t be fooled by the restaurant’s exterior. It may look like a typical restaurant that you wouldn't think of dining into. Jai and I have always been curious about this restaurant, passing by it numerous times and all.


So earlier today I thought of surprising Jai after his football game. I knew that he’ll be hungry and it seemed the perfect time for a carbo loaded meal. 
We met at Edsa Central Mall in Crossing and rode a jeep bound to Pasig Palengke. I asked the driver to drop us off at Jade Palace (you’ll see a green lighted sign) along shaw boulevard right after China  Bank, on the opposite street in front of China Bank you’ll see Wok Inn restaurant.

We arrived around 7:30pm and there were only a few people dining. The waitress attended to us after we were seated and handed us the menu. I find the waitress a bit rude; it seemed that she was in a hurry and can’t wait for us to decide on the food we want.

Now, enough about her, let’s talk about the food. We ordered their bestseller sipa and stuffed squid.
Sipa-fried wonton stuffed with meat and veggies. This dish is yummy! The meat was tasty and soft and blended well with the sauce. A must try for first time diners.
Stuffed Squid- for this past week I’ve been craving for Kangkong and luckily the squid we ordered was stuffed with it. Jai didn’t like this so much, he said that he couldn’t taste the squid but only the kangkong. I, on the other hand disagreed. I like the way the squid was cooked and was really satisfied with it.

Crab Rice- Needs a little more flavor, I didn't taste the crab at all. 

 

I highly recommend this restaurant to those who have a limited budget but love to eat Chinese food.

Total food cost: Sipa- P110 + Stuffed squid- P154 + Crab Rice- P105 = P369.00
