David's Tea House :@) :@)

Davids Tea House

68 Timog Ave. cor. Tomas Morato Ave.

Quezon City, Metro Manila

So I was waiting for my friend around the Tomas Morato Area for a couple of hours so I decided to go take a bite first at David's Teahouse to pass the time. I couldn't pass up the opportunity anyway because me and this restaurant go way back. I used to treat myself and my buddies to a meal here of the classic holy triumvirate of Chinese food (salt and pepper squid, sweet and sour pork and lemon chicken) after exams when i was still in high school. Sadly the greenhills branch closed down when they renovated what was then Virramall and I haven't eaten in David's Teahouse for about 7 years. So I went in fingers crossed that their quality didn't degrade which happens often in the Philippines when you become an established restaurant that has been around for more than 5 years. I apologize for the lousy pictures, cellphone camera.

Well after the 7 year wait here we go

David's Teahouse initial set up, besides the obviously missing chop sticks its pretty standard for a Philippine teahouse. House tea is fine, nothing that rocks your socks though.

So what's the deal with Big Daddy's Chicken that we went out of our way to review this relatively unknown food stall? Big Daddy Chicken claims that they serve authentic Taiwanese chicken chops. To put it simply the Taiwanese chicken chop is a deep fried chicken breast with bone that is seasoned with powdered flavoring of usually chili or lemon but honestly words can't do justice on how good it is so if you're ever in Taiwan look for it. The Taiwanese version is called Ji Pai chicken and is so famous that people actually have to get numbers and form long lines just to be served. So me and my friends were pretty excited to try this out since I've been craving for one of these babies since my last trip to Taiwan and none of the other chicken chops found in the Philippines have been up to par compared to the Original.

So here we go kiddos.

In comparison to Taiwan's original its not that far off, but its not a direct copy either. Beggars can't be choosers and currently this is the best that we've got so I'd recommend it. Its like buying an extremely excellent louis vuiton knock off. You'd enjoy it but still you know its not authentic.
