Tai Koo HK Roast
I took my husband out on a date today and he recommended we try Tai Koo HK Roast. This restaurant is known for their delicious Roast Duck. I haven't tasted one so I agreed on going. The restaurant is located at Serendra in BGC.
It was after the lunch rush so there weren't that much customers dining when we got there. It was indeed a lazy Sunday afternoon for the restaurant's crew. It was the first time I'm eating there so I wasn't really suer which to pick on their menu. I chose the Assorted Roast Platter. It has all the roast they offer - beef, pork, chicken and of course, duck.
I took a bite of the duck right away. It was fine, I guess. Not too bad but not too good. I bit more tough than the chicken meat, you can really tell which is which. The sauce that came with it did the trick. The duck tasted better when dipped in the sauce. For the whole platter, I loved everything except for the pork, which was for some reason a bit colder than all the other meats in there. It tastes good, alright but would have been better if it was still hot when it was served.
Since we were in a Chinese restaurant, I ordered noodle soup. Now this is the best thing that ever happened today! I ordered the HK Roast duck and Wonton Noodle Soup. I have tried cooking this kind of noodles before and every single time, it turns into a disaster. The soup was really yummy because of the roast duck being soaked in it, letting all the flavors incorporate into the noodle and the soup. The noodle was just perfectly cooked, not too saggy nor undercooked. And I was really impressed with the wonton. I usually would skip this in noodle soups, I'm not a big fan of wontons soaked in hot water but this one tastes divine. Even my daughter - who is a really picky eater - loved the noodle soup.
We may have come at a bad time for their roasts today (although, the customer service spirit in me says they should always be ready to serve at 100% at all times). I guess I will come back to this restaurant again only because I loved their noodle soup and their HK Roast Duck.
I would say, it was not worth the price for the Php698 worth Assorted Roast platter, but it was totally worth the Php268 HK Roast Duck and Wonton Noodle Soup. I'd recommend you go right ahead and order just the Roast duck itself and skip all the other roasts. And never forget to order the noodle soups. They're the best!
