Revisited Review: Zong, The Fort Strip, Makati Philippines

For some casual Chinese eating, our place of choice is Zong. They're located at The Fort Strip alongside our favorite pizza place & the worst Racks branch. Since this wasn't our first visit, we already had our staple must-haves.

Hot & Sour Soup (Php 178)
I'm happy to say that Zong consistently gives out yummy hot & sour soup. Have them split this since serving is enough for 2 people. 

Fried Fish Golden Egg (Php 448)
Salted egg dishes seems to be our go-to comfort food. This Zong dish is egg-y & salty in a good way. Lightly coated & fried for the crunch factor while the fish fillet inside stays soft & flaky. 

Lemon Chicken (Php 328)
The chicken fillet is packed with lemony goodness with just the right amount of crunch. Food-Stars verdict? This is one of Zong's solid good-tasting dish.

Deep Fried Salt Pepper Pork Ribs (Php 368)
The perfect "pulutan", this pork rib dish is best eaten with a beer in hand. Food-Stars Recommendation? Dip it in vinegar and you're all set.

Braised Beef Tapa (Php 388)
It may not look like much & Zong sometimes overcooks it, but when they do cook it right, you get to bite into tender juicy yummy beef. 

And for the new dishes we had....
Hotpot Fish Fillet & Tofu (Php 448)
Tofu is soft as well as the mushrooms & fish fillet. Food-Stars Verdict? Not bad.

Steamed Vegetable Roll (Php 388)
Something healthy for a change. ;)
 The brown sticky sauce is a perfect complement to the fresh greens, carrots & chorizo. Surprisingly, I found myself enjoying this dish. 

And to end on a sweet note, we got 2 of their dessert offerings.


Banana Fritters with Honey Glaze (Php 128)

What makes this different from your typical turon is they fry the banana before wrapping it & frying it again. The chocolate drizzle was a nice touch. ;)


Mango Sago Cream (Php 128)
Traditional Chinese eating calls for Mango Sago for dessert. This bowl of cold mango cream, mango chunks & tapioca balls is always a lovely treat. ;)
