MCM Restaurant: Iriga's Traditional Chinese Resto

MCM Restaurant
Iriga's Traditional Chinese Resto
 

The MCM Restaurant located just in front of the city park 
caught our attention as it had a vacant parking so we decided
 to dine there. Tired and hungry from the long drive to Buhi from
  Naga to was a welcome respite to find a restaurant that fast.

 

It was an old fashioned. no frills Chinese restaurant,

…that still utilizes the thick- lipped glasses

for drinking water and serving beverages.

 

This restaurant serves what is probably the

 most delicious Mushroom Soup in Bicol.

 

It not the usual thick and creamy type, as the broth appeared 
watered-down but was  tasty and pretty healthy. It had a subtle 
hint of herbs and had generous amount of varied vegetables. 
This would be perfect on lazy days when the weather turns colder.

One of the best tasting Chop Suey Guisado  that we have tasted.
 It has been beefed up with  chunks of liver, tofu, seafood and  vegetables.
 It has a savory Chinese seasoning aftertaste, very delicious and filling,

 I am not aware what fish they used in the Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet.
but we totally enjoyed the dish. It wa  coated with flour and fried to
 perfection. It was later bathed  with just the right amount of sweet 
and sour sauce with  a mélange of vegetables like tomatoes, 
carrots, red onions, and bell pepper with a mixture of pineapple.

The Chinese Pork Steak was a revelation.

It appeared like a sweetened but more delicious

and chunky pork asado. My young son loved it.

 

The Camaron Rebosado was excellent. A Filipino version

of the iconic Japanese Tempura, it is made of fresh shelled

shrimps,battered and deep fried and served with tartar sauce.

We ended our dinner with Halo- Halo for dessert.

I loved the shaved ice that they used as I could still

bite the bits and pieces of crunchy, ice making it

more refreshing as compared to other creamy and

milky versions and tastes more like a smoothie.

 

MCM is neat and tidy budget traditional Chinese restaurant

in Iriga City that serves very affordable, yet delicious dishes.  

 

Worth the drive from Naga City to Rinconada.
