One of my most favorite places for Chinese food and one that I frequent is Northpark. I can attest also that almost everything on the menu is good - except that I'm really sad that they don't have taro puff (I think they should really put that on the menu)! While they have plenty of branches around the metro, my favorite branch would have to be their Lazcano branch in Quezon City. The restaurant is very spacious and is very good for big groups or families. They also have outdoor seating if you prefer to dine without the comforts of air conditioning. The interiors are kept modern with a really pleasant color scheme that's not too painful to the eyes. Their very extensive menu (which is smartly positioned as placemats), stretches from dimsum, noodle soups, steamed rice meals, braised noodles, fried rice, congee, superior soup, signature dishes, hot pot, roast and desserts. To be quite honest, if you're a Northpark first timer, it'll be pretty tough decision making on what to order because there are simply too many options. The stuff I've tried in their dimsum choices is the Fresh Prawn Dumpling, three pieces of beautifully steamed dumplings which is stuffed just right for that one whole bite, and the Pinsec Frito, triangular meat dumplings which are fried to perfect crispiness. Personally, while they don't serve it with mayo, you should dip it in there if you choose to eat it home. Their noodle soups, however, are a class of its own. There's plenty to choose from - wanton, nanking beef, dumpling, pork rib, mushroom - whatever meat selection you are craving for, they have it. Personally though, my favorite would be the Fresh Prawn Dumpling and the Wanton Noodle. The amount of dumplings and wantons is just right for the size of the bowl - and mind you, the bowl comes in two sizes - light and regular. The light sized bowl is okay if you're planning to order other items on the menu without having to be really full by the time you reach the bottom of your bowl; while the Regular sized bowl is enough to make you not want to move right after. What's great also about Northpark is that you can have your pick of noodles with your soup - whole wheat, herb, empress, flat shanghai, canton and hongkong. If you're the type who has to have rice with their meal, order their Lechon Macau over fried rice. Think crispy slices of lightly seasoned pork topped in a bed of yang chow fried rice - it's really filling, delicious and flavorful. Surprisingly, the whole dish can also be shared with a friend so you can have samplers as the serving is pretty large. To top off the meal, I highly recommend their Almond Jelly with Fresh Mango which is served over crushed ice. The dessert is refreshing and the mangoes are always sweet and balances out with the flavors of the almond jelly.
