SUMMER PALACE Serves Probably the Best Sweet & Sour Pork!

Summer Palace @ EDSA Shangri-la Hotel

I never plan to eat at Chinese restaurants. I feel that there are just so many Chinese restaurants that I feel I can go to one anytime I want. 

Diba, when a group couldn't decide where to eat, normally, that group almost always end up eating Chinese... "Sa Chinese na lang." 

It happened to us recently. I originally planned to treat my friend to a fried chicken (of course, it had be fried chicken!) place in Ortigas. We went there for dinner and surprise, surprise... the place was closed (for their summer outing)! 

After suggesting a million other restaurants, my driver/friend decided to drive to EDSA Shangri-la Hotel. That's where her favorite restaurant is (one of a thousand). Her favorite Chinese restaurant.

See?  

I always order Sweet & Sour. 
I would like to think that I
have tasted all kinds of Sweet & Sour from
the good to the bad to the very bad to the very, very bad.

I think that this one is probably the BEST!

The color is not the usual dark-pink-banana-catsup variety. 

The meat is tender and a bit crunchy on the first bite. 

And they have raisins! Why not? 
It adds a sweet and sour
flavor. 

Everything about this Sweet & Sour is perfect.

I'm not exaggerating...

 Go for the large.
