I…read moreeven got some for my cousins who told me it was their favorite but haven't ordered any in a while. I've had better siopaos in the Philippines ... in my opinion the convenient store 7/11 has better tasting ones. I mean in terms of fluffiness, their siopao is better than Chow Kings. My cousin even said their siopao in Kong Kee didn't taste the same as they remembered. The little vinegar sauce to go with the siopao is what I used to mask some of the flavors of the filling. And their pancit I'm guessing is a twist of Chinese influence ... it was quite saucy and it somewhat tasted smokey-burnt. So it was kind of upsetting. Understandably in the Philippines the food portion is on a smaller scale, and I didn't want to waste the pancit so I just had to finish it. I also placed my order for take out, and service was lacking. The ladies almost made it feel like they didn't want to take our order. Just glad I decided to do take out.

One time i ordered buttered chicken, it was not thoroughly cooked. They accept feedback though and when i ordered again, they made sure it was done right. They also offer party trays which you can order the same day. Very convenient.

The meeting room was good for 3 hours with the required food purchase. It worked out very well and the food was very good. The next night hubby & I decided to go back to try their Dimsum. We picked the Dimsum Platter & the Brisket Noodle Soup. All dishes tasted amazing, fresh & just the right amount of food. Service was brisk & the wait was not long. I highly recommend Spring Place & I will be back.

For example, you won't find egg foo young on the menu. And they don't have egg rolls made with peanut butter. I guess you can say it's more authentic. This is my second time at Spring Palace and because of the size of our party, we've always been given a large, Private room. My relatives like it, the food was fine overall and most of these dishes are very new to me. I guess the spinach soup was my favorite item. The deep fried shrimp with fruit salad was weird but it's crunchy sweetness was fine by me. I also very much enjoyed the steamed Grouper (lapu-lapu), the meat is so soft and sweet.

I was not exactly expecting much considering we were well beyond the city but boy I am entirely grateful that the food did not disappoint. We had ordered Calamares (fried squid) which obviously were fresh (so much different from our frozen ones in Toronto) which made the difference; the Chicken Pork Adobo - my go to food was made perfect with Garlic Rice; Sweet and Sour Pork - just as good. The Eggplant which I am not very fond of but actually turned out okay for me too which is a very good sign. Counting time when I can come and try the food. I hope they keep up the quality until my return.

The place was already pretty busy at that time. We made the journey here specifically for the bone marrow (which they call 'butter of God'). We were lucky enough to get the last 2 orders before they sold out! Apparently they get their shipment of marrow in the evening or maybe specifically Monday after 5, so you may have better luck around then in case they do sell out. Also, you get to use the bone afterwards as a luge for the shot of vodka they provide with the order lol. The bone marrow was sooo flavorful and rich. It also came with a lot of marrow, you will definitely get your money's worth! The 2 bone narrows were enough for our party of 4 (along with a few other plates of items mentioned below). The sizzling sisig was also good! The crispy pata wasn't bad, but it was kinda tough. I would avoid getting the dimsum platter, the dumplings were dried out and not appetizing. Bottom line - get the bone marrow!! You will not be disappointed!

Let me be specific: 1. In a largely empty restaurant, tried to get attention of the solitary waiter, but in the end had to call over the manager. 2. Tried to order garlic Taiwan betchay or Kaylan with garlic, but 'out of stock.' 3. Garlic broccolli and wonton soup came out in small almost flavourless portions. 4. The cheap noodles in the soup surely have little nutritional value, allowing the chain to max out profits at the expense of ignorant patrons. 5. Dozens of fat globules floated all over the surface of the soup. 6. Had to spike the wonton with hot sauce and some insipid soy sauce mix from my broccolli to make it more than just boringly bland. 7. When we paid, they didn't have change for a mere 500 peso note (US$10). Duh! 8. Hate to say it again, but is such 'food' and slow service worth buying, actually eating, and tipping? I hope that in its current state that the Hap Chan chain goes under! So please do not go here unless you like wasting about 200 pesos on dishes that will not satisfy, that are faking it as not at all authentic Chinese.

Right next to HowFun - a bad translation, joke or gimmick on hao fan, that means 'good rice' in Mandarin - is Kogi & Vegi.
