When I first heard that Teriyaki Boy at Tomas Morato is gone, my reaction was: "OH NO!!!"
I may not be a super fan of Teriyaki Boy but I got used to seeing that huge sign whenever I pass by the area. My brother told me about Ser Chief's restaurant called Wangfu and he actually brought my mom and dad to dine there and gave a thumbs up sign...I wasn't impressed.
Seriously, just the usual "use your fame while you have it, open a restaurant!" thing, that's what I thought.
Not until when my good friend from highschool came back for a vacation from the US, she suggested to try Wangfu as she heard the restaurant serves good food. Wow, so Wangfu restaurant made its' name even all the way to the US! It must be good.
I originally thought I'll see the regular Chinese dish when it took a peak at their menu, I realized, it isn't! Wangfu offers Chinese-Singaporean cuisine. You'll see a designated "Singapore Specials" in their menu which is something refreshing to see on a full-breed Chinese named restaurant.
Before I talk about the food, let me share to you the ambiance, of course, with the number of times I visited Teriyaki Boy, I can't seem to put away that "Teriyaki Boy" restaurant thought but what I noticed is that Wangfu leveled up the ambiance by adding more lights, changed to better-looking couches and chairs. The restaurant looks more cozy yet chic.
They included round tables for big gatherings like what we did! We actually reserved 2 round tables for a grand Pre-Holiday Meetup with my gradeschool/highschool friends.
