something green

Jump to Comments

Upon arrival in Bataan last Saturday, my friends and I decide to eat lunch at Chowking near the Centre Plaza Mall. I usually order something from Chowking when 1) my family is coming home late and I’m the only one hungry and 2) I’m hungry and I don’t want to cook, so I take a tricycle to the Chowking branch right outside our village.

I order my usual side dish: plain tofu. Lo and behold, my eyes widen when the waiter places the dish in front of me.

Green!

The chopped spring onion (?) is a welcome sight. I tell my friends, “I don’t get this in Manila!” Hahaha.

Two days later I order food to go from ChowKing again and when I get home I check the tofu: no green.

  • i used to love chowking especially the noodles for a merienda. one time, i was with my mom at divisoria and thought of eating at tutuban’s chowking. since our stomachs are grumbling, we thought of soup. each ordered a wanton noodle soup. it was yucky!!!! parang hot water with a little yellow coloring just so you could say it is soup!!! as in bland!!! there was no salt available nor any seasoning. :( i wonder how they are able to pass food of that quality…
