Toho Antigua Restaurant at SM BF Paranaque

It was a day of extended vacation leave for Doc M and I after our Legazpi trip. We fetch Baby G from her school located in Multinational Village. We were at SM Sucat earlier that day where I had a semi-pampering thing at Nail-a-Holics.

So after we fetched Baby G, we have decided to go to SM BF instead as I have never been to that mall since it opened. After few minutes of contemplating where to eat, Baby G chose the Toho Restaurant because they have couches for seating. 

Maybe because of our timing, there were few customers dining when we arrived at around 3PM but people started coming in when we were done. The staff are nice and they are very attentive so that is a plus factor.

Here are what we ordered:

Lumpiang Shanghai (P190.00)

I have this impression that Chinese Restaurants serve delicious Lumpiang Shanghai, and Toho's version confirms that. Combined with their lumpia sauce, it was delectable. Baby G enjoyed this as well over the chicken. 

White / Hainanese Chicken - Half (P190.00)

Their Hainanese Chicken was just okay. It's served with ginger paste, but I had to combine it with the lumpia sauce. I would still go for the one of 101 Hawkers in Makati.

Eggplant with Minced Pork (P195.00)

Doc M is a fan of eggplant dishes, and he was able to enjoy this one. The combination of the vegetable and the pork bits was good and not salty.

Leche Flan (P170.00)

Toho's leche flan perhaps is one of the best that I have tasted. It's totally creamy, and even with just one bite, you'd taste that they did not scrimp on the ingredients - pure egg yolks used. Although Baby G got a little bit disappointed because the caramel/syrup has a minor bitter taste. It was actually funny that she asked: "Why does their leche flan taste like coffee?". But Doc M and I enjoyed it.

The price is actually affordable and can be frequented every time one has cravings for good Chinese food. A gathering with friends or family can also be held here, without spending too much as their servings can cater to bigger groups. We actually had to take our most of our food because the three of us weren't able to finish them all. 

So yes, we'd still consider eating at Toho again the next time we pass by SM BF.

Dining Date: September 29, 2015 (Tuesday)
