Lovely Butterfly Prawns

I never thought of travelling to another city. I had an unexpected trip to the concrete jungle of Manila last week. After hours snaking around the streets of Divisoria, I look forward to sumptuous food in the heart of china town to reward my cunning saving schemes. President Restaurant is on of the classics. The humongous space has the capacity for a typical Chinese wedding, and is rarely empty at any time of the day. The kitchen' s speed in service is fascinating. Walking around for hours on an empty stomach in the heat leaves little patience for any hapless waiter, but i never get the chance to complain, since the food is often on the table after washing up, fresh and piping hot. Crystal prawns could easily define how good a Chinese restaurant is. Big butterflied prawns ball up as soon as they hit the hot wok. After eating one of these prawns you will understand what "fresh crisp" means when it comes to seafood. A good meal like this had boosted my list of Q words scrabble for an after meal scrabble game.
