Ying Ying's Cold Congee

November 27, 2011

Ying Ying Restaurant

I come to this restaurant every now and then. They serve dimsum that looks and tastes the same as Wai Ying along Benavides, also in Binondo.

Today, I decided to go back to Ying Ying along Dasmarinas Street near corner Yuchengco Street (formerly Nueva, in Binondo, Manila). I ordered wanton noodles, fish congee, fried dumplings and three or four varieties of dimsum.

I was surprised to receive a cold congee. When I told one of the food servers, a male food server came over quickly and said: “ ay, i-microwave natin yan…” and went back to the counter where the other restaurant staff just laughed when told by this male food server that : “..malaming pa itong lugaw oh..”

I waited for our order taker, a female, to come by, and then tell her that our congee was cold. She did not respond at all. I did not see her anymore until we finished our meal at around 4pm.Their food tastes good but the cold congee is definitely a turn-off!
