It's just few days away before Mother's Day and what a great day to have a date with my son, Tristan! Spending time with him is one of the best days ever! I have always been a fan of Chinese food since childhood. I'm pure Filipino and spent childhood in Chinatown Binondo where I studied in Grade school, and that's how I was introduced to Chinese cuisine. During those days you can only find most of the best Chinese restaurants in Binondo and it's good to know that there are more you can find around the metro like King Chef.  Hot Tea and Kropek It's a tradition to have a drink of hot tea at the beginning of each meal or your option if want to have more after your meal.

The kropek, appetizing while deciding what to order or while waiting food to be served.  On our table, with my son, and some friends with their moms, we were served the Set B meal.  The exciting part begins with Peking duck ! I love watching how it is p...
