Last May 17, after a meeting in Camp Aguinaldo together with my Dad and husband we headed to New Resort World for lunch. It is a posh mall in front of the Villamor Air Base, Pasay City. This mall is classy and if you love to play in a casino then you will surely love the place. In fact, if you find Podium and Greenbelt a bit classy as most of the stores are top of the line then NRW is the same, maybe even more.
Anyway, we went to New Resort World simply because we wanted to try Johnny Chow. The first thing that you will notice when you are there is how eccentric the interior décor of the restaurants. It makes you feel giddy, happy and excited for the food. After all, if the place is so nice then most probably the dishes are also as good as the ambience, unless I am just being foolish again.
Thankfully, I was not mistaken, as the foods are as good as the place. By the way, I wasn’t really that surprised as I was expecting it especially since the posh restaurant is co-owned by Marvin Agustin, the actor and restaurateur. FYI the man also co-owns John and Yoko, Marciano’s and Sumo Sam. I think! There other popular restaurants that he has his hands on, I just forgot the names.
Birthday Noodle P325.00 (The yellow thing is a quail egg coated in flour)
Back to Johnny Chow, apart from the ambience and eccentric decors you will also find the waitresses as crazy looking as the place. Yup! The girls are wearing wigs of different colors, like in some Japanese cartoons wherein the character wear funny costumes and it definitely add touch to the overall feel of the place. The chairs have faces of popular personality, I even think one chair looks a bit like Ai Ai Delas Alas, you be the judge when you visit the place.
Happy Valley P 275.00 ( Salad)
Gengis Khan P 310.00 (Crunchy, sweet but soft inside)
The foods are fusion of Chinese, Korean and Japanese, and definitely taste just right. I think every meal is tasty, so much that my son loves all of it, particularly the chicken that is crunchy, sweet in the outside but soft inside. If you like ice tea then do not forget to order one, it is just P108.00 and you can drink all you want.
Heart and Soul Beef P 385.00
Steven Seagal Salmon P 395.00
Yang Chow Fried Rice P 295.00 (the rice comes with 3 slices of chicken)
So, if you want a taste of something good, eccentric but wonderful all rolled into one then Johnny Chow is the restaurant to be… It is simply chowtime at Johnny Chow!
looks familiar?
