Weekend Food Trip at: ZHU Kitchen, Banawe




Happy Weekend Restaurant Hopping friends!
My life was super busy way before I had Kyle Nash, but now that I have him, I nearly don't have time to sit in a restaurant just to enjoy a "hot" meal!  But now that I'm getting the hang of playing with Kyle on one hand and eating on the other hand, Mr. AMW and I do like to go on a date once in awhile!  Even as simple as going back to the restaurant I want to dine in at instead of the usual takeout!

Zhu Kitchen at Banawe

We dined here February 15, a day after Valentine's Day so we had the restaurant all to ourselves! 

Beancurd Roll
Php98.00 (approx $2.00)

I call myself an expert when it comes to good dimsum and bad dimsum!  I've tried ZHU Kitchen's Siomai and as stated on my first post, they are good!  But the Beancurd Roll?  They tasted different from the usual Beancurd Roll you get from other Chinese restaurants.  Instead of meat, they have more vegetables inside so I call this a lightweight starter!  Vegetable lovers would appreciate this roll for sure!

Weekend Food Trip: Why I Should Make Time to Dine in at ZHU Kitchen

First things first, this maybe a beauty blog but I still like to post about food!  You know why?  Because food plays a very important role in our family!  Growing up, we never go to restaurants as my mom (a superstar housewife) wants to save up every single centavo for our education, allowances, home-cooked meals, gas, etc...dining in a restaurant would only mean one thing, a MAJOR celebration!  So it was until my eldest brother graduated from college and started his first work were we able to eat Jollibee, McDonalds then as soon as all of us finished our studies, we graduated to fine dining restaurants.  

Until this very day, eating means spending quality time with the family, we celebrate life's triumph with a simple take-out meals or just a simple phone call to meet up in a particular favorite restaurant just to celebrate.  Mind you, it doesn't have to be an expensive fine-dining restaurant.

And I carried that "habit" until this very day!  After every makeup gig, after every makeup workshop, an event I attended, or whenever I'm outside, you'll see me bidding goodbye to my friends telling them: "May dadaanan lang akong restaurant, take out for the family!" (I need to stop someplace for food takeout.)  I do that even to my extended family!  I guess, I show my love really through food, because I love food so much I expect all my loved ones to be the same! *harharhar*

That's where blogging about food comes in (seriously, nobody asked pero feel ko lang magkwento!  lol).  Whenever I visit my parents during weekend, Keith and I would either invite them to dine out, or at times, when we just want to relax and stay at their place, we would go for take out meals!  For someone who does this every so often, you'll end up worrying which restaurant to go to every weekend!  

Since we live at Manila area, we frequent Banawe area and finally decided to visit the Z-Square Mall!  Of course, Lucky Rainbow restaurant will always be a top choice but I highly suggest to go their for dine in!  I took a peek at their ground floor and saw the restaurant Zhu Kitchen.  Why not?  We haven't tried anything from there! 

It is a habit for Mr. AMW, Baby AMW and I to have a bit of dimsum snack while waiting for our orders!  And what's the best way to know if a restaurant is good or not?  Order their Siomai!  

Pork Siomai
Php90.00 (approx $2.00)
Passed!  Definitely passed our pick taste with it comes to Siomai!  I used to dislike Siomai and there are only a few restaurants I enjoy Pork Siomai, and Zhu Restaurant is definitely included!
