Choi City: A High-Class yet Affordable Chinese Seafood Restaurant for Cebuanos

Cebuanos love Chinese cuisines, the very reason why there are lots of Chinese restaurants that can be found in the city.  Unfortunately, though there are many places to go to if you want to eat Chinese foods, there are just a very few that offer authentic Chinese dishes as most of them fall in the fast-food chain category.

My Newly Discovered Chinese Seafood Resto

Classy, warm, festive…these are the first three adjectives that came to mind when I stepped into Choi City, a Chinese seafood restaurant that offers authentic Cantonese cuisine.  But, it’s not the ambiance that made a lasting impression on me – it’s the customer service and the VIP treatment, and of course the exquisite dishes that were meticulously prepared and served.

In Cebu, there are only a very few restaurants that offer authentic Cantonese dishes.  Choi City brings the popular Hongkong taste directly to the picky palates of Cebuanos.  This is made possible by their four super chefs headed by Executive Chef Siu Bing and three others from famous restaurants in Hongkong and China.

What makes Cantonese stands out from the wide variety of Chinese foods out there?  It’s on how this kind of foods are prepared and cooked.  Cantonese cuisines are prepared properly using fresh ingredients.  They are cooked through boiling, stir frying, steaming, charcoal grilling, and double boiling.  Most often, Cantonese foods are cooked meticulously to retain its natural flavors and only a modest amount of seasonings is used to avoid intensifying the flavors of the ingredients.

Roast Layered Pork: My Personal Favorite

Though most of my friends love the Braised Abalone and Lobster, my picky palates and taste buds couldn’t help but fell in love with the Roast Layered Pork among all the dishes that were served on our table.  It is roasted into perfection and is unforgettable because its meat is non-greasy yet juicy and tender, and it has a scrumptious crispy skin to die for.  I’m not exaggerating, but I can dine there and just eat as many servings of the dish and I won’t even take a second look at other dishes.  I’m such a pork lover.

  2. Wow, the reporter in the video are hot heheehh

    And nice food their, it make me so hungry now==#”””””””!!!!!!!

  3. What I didn’t realize was how much better Asian food could be than what my experience of it was. A lot of Chinese cuisine in America is actually nothing like the traditional style. It is much too greasy, and dominated by a simple array of flavors that doesn’t really capture the complexity of Asian cooking.:
