Chowking reintroduces its signature dishes

Eats time: Savor your favorite Chinese dishes on one plate with the Orange Chicken Lauriat at Chowking.

Chowking reintroduces three of its signature dishes — Sweet & Sour Pork, Tender Beef Broccoli and Orange Chicken — that diners can’t get enough of.

Originally made with tangerine peels, the Orange Chicken (P79) now comes with orange slices. Its citrusy, sweet, spiced sauce goes well with the crunchy chicken.

The Tender Beef Broccoli has soft slices of beef cooked with fresh carrots and broccoli infused with toasted garlic and sesame. It can be enjoyed as a rice meal, a lauriat, or a family platter starting at P89.

The sweet & sour pork was derived from the dish called pork in sugar and vinegar. This rich dish has inspired Chowking with its own Sweet and Sour Pork (P79) with fresh bell pepper and pineapple chunks.
