Green Plaza Panganiban: Inexpensive Authentic Chinese Cuisine

Green Plaza Panganiban 
Inexpensive and Authentic Chinese Cuisine

My eldest daughter who is now in college heard about Lomi

for the first time from her classmates and was curious on how  

it tastes and wanted to see how it appears. I have never really

been a fan of the dish, as I find slimy texture gross and I do

not like the slightly better aftertaste of the vermicular noodles.

I was also caught by surprise as I never realized

that we never had a chance to introduce the dish to

them in the past. Since it was a common knowledge

the Green Plaza serves one of the best Lomi in the city,

we decided to dine at  their Panganiban Drive branch.

The first this we ordered was the popular Green Plaza Lomi.

It was served heaping in a huge bowl. This may be the most

popular Lomi in the city and quite a number of people would

attest on how good it is, but my impression of the dish remained

the same. Lomi is my least favorite noodle dish, I do not like the

thick almost gel- like consistency of the soup, I find the slimy,

fat noodles gross, and I do not like the slightly bitter aftertaste.

Since it was already dinner time we decided to dine

there and we ordered Sinigang na Baboy for our soup.

We loved it. It had the exact degree of sourness that came

from natural sources like tomatoes and radish. The pork

was tender, the veggies were fresh and crispy, something

that I would recommend as a must try in this restaurant.

They served what could probably be the most delicious

Chop Suey in the world, heaping generously on a huge

platter with the sauce overflowing on the edges. The veggies

are fresh and crispy and what I like with this version is the

inclusion of the black fungus, my favorite kind of mushroom.

 

The Sweet and Sour Fish was also very delicious.

It was sweet, tangy and savory with just the right hint

of spice. The fresh zucchini added a refreshing touch

and crunchy texture without  affecting the flavorful dish.

When we ordered the Green Plaza Chicken, I was expecting

a traditional fried chicken but it was served was a pre- fried

chicken topped with all sorts of assorted fresh vegetables and

bathed  in rich tasty sauce. It was so indescribably delicious.

Everything came in huge servings, heaping and overflowing from

the platter but when the bill came- it was so affordable and one

would not leave with an empty wallet after dining in Green Plaza.
