The exterior dark stone finish softened by warm white lighting gives Chairman Wang's a strong elegant feel. When Maita prodded me a few weeks back to try the place, I thought it was expensive. I was wrong.
The specialty of Chairman Wang's is obviously beef noodle, which was shared by Maita and my daughter Mira-- an order comes in a big bowl good for 2. I could only take a small sip of the stock given that my genetics allows me only that much to take as beef has high purine level. But from the little I ingested, I found the soup rich and tasty. The three of us shared (Sachi was still in her college dorm) slices of radish cake that were topped by cilantro. For myself, I ordered the Fragrant Chicken with Spicy Eggplant. I have never tried anything like that before, but it was a pleasant surprise.

There was something remarkable about the house tea. It was not Jasmine but it was dark with a tinge of what seemed to be red berry that had an understandably fruity aftertaste. And yes, it was for free.
After dinner, I went around the place and gazed at the walls with black wooden accents, and at the huge chandeliers-- which our food server said were directly imported from mainland China.
When the bill came, it was less than Ps 780, VAT and Service Charge included. Given the ambience, the interiors, and the innovative take on the traditional, I considered the meal value-for-money. I knew that I found another personal favorite Chinese restaurant in the South.
