Food Tripping: Wai Ying in Binondo

I am fan of food obviously with the body size XD

So this will be a post about the Chinese cuisine restaurant called Wai Ying. I was introduced to this place around 2010 by our photographer friends after our Vampire knights Cosplay shoot. Last July 14 I got to go back and eat there again. I have been planning to go back but I did not want to go alone so after we checked the location for the Vocaloid photoshoot, we when to Wai Ying.

Welcome to China Town

Located at Benavidez Street in Binondo, Wai Ying is a two-floor restaurant. There are more seats in the second floor as the ground floor is mostly the kitchen area and it’s warm since you are near all the cooking area.

Left to Right: Kim, Ate Aya, Me and Sherome

So let’s talk about the food… *damn I feeling hungry again because of this*
What I remember is the first time I was there they ran out of Lemon Chicken rice which is I think their best seller. So now that is what I have ordered.

Lemon Chicken is basically crispy fried chicken with soy lemon sauce

Ate Aya orders Soy Chicken: 

Soy Chicken is steamed chicken in brown sauce
and is accompanied by I think sauteed green onions 

Sherome got Curry Rice

Curry Rice

Kim got Roast Spareribs I think… *I can’t remember and I don't have a photo of it*

Have you ever been to Wai Ying or if you do know another place that has Chinese cuisine that you might want to share?

Food Tripping: Banzai The Great Teppanyaki Theater Review

Yes this is about food again! So me and my partner when to Banzai: The Great Teppanyaki Theater, I have first read about this place from Hana (a friend’s blog). As you know I’m a self confessed Japan-holic, I just have to go and check it out. The ambiance is great! You walk in and you are greeted by the one of the attendant, then they will show you the art gallery, where you can take photos in costumes. The place feels like its right from Japan.

He is lost in Time

There are a variety for Japanese food served, okonomiyaki, tempura, sushi, sashimi, ramen, takoyaki, miso soup, yakisoba, yakitori, gyoza, Japanese Inspired Pizza, and of course Teppanyaki. It was dessert heaven too. What I like about Banzai, is that it’s huge! You spend a few minutes of walking to get to what you want and I think that helps you digest for more food later XD

Project Pie: Do it yourself Pizza Review Macapagal Branch

Weee I finally got to eat at Project Pie

We when to the Macapagal Blue Baywalk branch, the place was crowded when we got there and then we realized it was lunch time; however the line was quick so it was all good. At the start of the line there will be someone to tell you the three ways you can have your pizza

1.       Ordering by number – just like any pizza joint they have pizza that is pre made. They do not have names for their pizza just numbers. They now have 8 pre made pizza, number 8 is the latest addition from a customer that won their contest
2.       Build your own – you get to make your own pizza from scratch
3.       Ordering by number and add more – this is the combination of 1 and 2. If your number pizza lack something you like you can go and add it at no extra charge

Number three is the best choice for me; after all it is all for the same price Php 285 or around $6.40. I got a six which had the following toppings Grilled Chicken, Sliced Red Onion, Cilantro, Mozzarella, Gorgonzola and drizzled with Bbq Sauce. I added the following Feta, bacon, Canadian Bacon, and pineapples. My partner got a number two with the following toppings Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Crumbled Meatballs, Mozzarella, their Signature Red Sauce, Garlic, he added a few toppings too. I can only remember that he added Feta, Gorgonzola and Canadian Bacon and other meats XD

Now Let’s talk about the ambiance of Project Pie

I like the factory type interior design, this gives out that feeling that you are about to make something great and the work you are going to do will be worth it. Once it is your turn you will be asked of what you want. At this point you can see how many people are working for your pizza. You will be seeing someone working on making the dough, another is asking you about your order, next will be the one putting the cheeses you want, the next person will be the one to add the meat toppings and another person will be the one in charge of the vegetables topping. While there are putting the topping they will be calling out to the person in charge of writing down what you have added to your pizza. After that it’s time to pay up and look for a place to sit and wait for you pizza to be baked. The whole process made me feel like I was in a factory looking at the assembly line working

I love, love pizza so yah you might feel like what I am going to say about the taste is bias but I will tell you I love the pizza of Project Pie this is the first time I have eaten pizza that does not have tomato sauce. My pizza was a white pizza, my topping were set on the dough with olive oil. It is also the first time for me to eat pizza with feta cheese surprisingly it was good and as I am doing this post, I am craving XD

PS we have notice how quickly the people come and go this is the best FAST Food place for me XD

Design. Build.Eat is Project Pie's motto
