BEST OF RED SPICE
Double-boiled Soup ₱388
The double-boiled abalone soup was a standout—its broth was clean and comforting.
Salt and Pepper Pork Spareribs ₱680
These ribs disappeared in 60 seconds—the kids absolutely loved them, picking the meat clean off the bone. No sauce needed, just perfectly fried and simply seasoned with salt and pepper.
Hong Kong-style Barbecued Pork Belly ₱888
The pork belly cubes were perfect—pillowy tender with a crisp, golden crust, best enjoyed simply with a touch of mustard.
Poached Chicken Sichuan-Style
The poached chicken is tender and flavorful, but even better with Sichuan-style chili and peanuts for a spicy, crunchy kick.
Salted Egg Shrimp
The shrimp is coated in a light salted egg batter and fried until crisp—rich and savory.
Spicy Sichuan Crispy Chicken ₱980
For chili heads, Sichuan peppers add sexy color and numbing heat to this chopped fried chicken—love that distinct Sichuan spice.
Shrimp and Bamboo Shoot Dumpling ₱438
The dim sum is solid, starting with hakaw wrapped in a nicely delicate dumpling skin.
Barbecued Pork Bun ₱358
The siopao with barbecued pork was served steaming hot—tasty, with a perfect meat-to-bun ratio. Eat in 3-4 bites,
Pork and Shrimp Roe Dumpling ₱438
The siomai has generous meat portions and is topped with shrimp roe for an extra umami boost.
Steamed Rice Roll with Barbecued Pork ₱490
The rice roll is thin yet sturdy enough to hold the filling, though a bit slippery with chopsticks and slightly messy with the sauce.
Yangzhou Fried Rice ₱539
The fried rice is a must-order—just be sure to request it first so it arrives with the mains, not last.
Steamed, Hong Kong-style Black Spotted Grouper
The steamed grouper is perfectly cooked to medium—fresh, flavorful, and lightly sauced, with the best bites in the belly and head.
Mango Pomelo Sago Sweet Soup ₱348
This is the best mango sago we’ve had so far—made extra creamy with coconut milk.
FINAL THOUGHTS
We love Chinese food, and Chef Dicky’s curated selection strikes a thoughtful balance of pork, beef, shrimp, and dim sum—anchored by the steamed grouper as the standout, best enjoyed with fried rice. The flavors feel more elevated than your usual North Park cravings fix, with a welcome spotlight on Sichuan specialties. Must-tries include the salt and pepper pork spareribs, Hong Kong-style barbecued pork belly with Sichuan poached chicken, salted egg shrimp, and the dim sum lineup of hakaw, siomai, and siopao—plus don’t miss the creamy mango sago.
