The Way We Ate- P. F. Chang's

By She Said

It's the perfect time to eat out! So many restaurants are offering great deals and you get to enjoy their dishes at more affordable prices. 

P. F. Chang's has over 200 international branches and has been around since 1993. They opened their first branch in Asia in January 2012, at Alabang Town Center.

We've always shied away from the place. With its grand looking ambience, mixed with replica statues of Chinese warriors, horses and murals depicting scenes of 12th century China, we assumed that the food would be expensive. So, when we came across this poster recently, I made a mental note to include it on our must try list.

After Sunday mass, our agenda is usually either one of two things- lunch with family in Quezon City or lunch or dinner out with my daughter and sister in the Makati or Alabang area.

With the unpredictable weather we've been having so far, we decided to stay closer to home after mass last Sunday for fear of getting stuck in traffic or flash floods.

P. F. Chang's Feast for Four Promo is  available Mondays to Sundays for both lunch and dinner until August 31. You get to choose two entrees, plus you get soup, rice and drinks so we thought this was a good deal. It being our first time, we asked our server to recommend their bestsellers. Here's what we had.

 Crispy Honey Chicken- lightly battered and served in a sweet sauce over a bed of crispy rice sticks.

Shrimp with Lobster Sauce- shrimps in white wine & black bean sauce, mushrooms, scallions and eggs. Where's the shrimp? : P

This package comes with Egg Drop Soup, rice and drinks.

We had high expectations. Service was good, but the food was nothing out of the ordinary. We've had better Chinese fare elsewhere. Maybe, if we do get the chance to visit again, we'll try something out from their regular menu.

Nevertheless, family time is always fun time : D
