I thought that Eat Fresh was a food-to-go type of establishment. It was through Patty's blog that I learned about their dining area behind the grilling station and their à la carte menu as well.
The place is like an old house converted into a restaurant. It's the biggest food establishment along the now known food haven that is J. Abad Santos street. The dining area is small, so I suggest that you come in early for either lunch or dinner; otherwise, you're gonna have to wait for a table or bring your food home. I'd go for the former since bringing cooked food home isn't as fun - and as good - as eating it in the restaurant.
The parking is a pain! It's a busy narrow street that's always filled with parked cars on both sides. You can try to score a spot on the side streets though.
We had quite a dilemma on which to order because all the skewered delicacies looked good...and clean! When in doubt, ask the servers for recommendations.

| Fish Balls PhP 25 |

| Fried Stuffed Chili {2 pcs/order} PhP 45 |
This fried stuffed chili is the bomb! The meat stuffing is finely grounded and well seasoned. It's full of flavor and has the right amount of heat. I think they removed the seeds to tame down the spice. I'd eagerly go back to Eat Fresh just for this!
 |
| Yakitori {2 pcs} PhP 95 |
Eat Fresh's bacon wrapped asparagus, shitake, and enoki mushrooms glazed with sweet teriyaki sauce is another winner. Two pieces is satisfying enough for one. The wraps were chunky and delicious! We ordered two more of these upon the insistence of my husband.
 |
| Pork Siomai PhP 65 |
These dumplings were bigger than the ones we normally see. They were alright in terms of taste. We didn't find it that good, but they weren't bad either. So-so.
 |
| Beef Noodle Soup PhP 115 |
Our eldest ordered a hot bowl of Beef Noodle Soup because he was feeling a bit under the weather and wanted something comforting. This was comforting indeed! The broth was hearty and very flavorful! The noodles, though thin, had a really nice texture. Even the dumplings swimming in the soup were good.

| Beef Brisket Claypot Rice PhP 135 |
I can never live without rice! I think that the no rice diet is absolutely absurd and should be banned from the face of the earth completely. In fairness to me, I tried to go without rice for a year. I only got through almost three weeks without it. If I went any further, I'd slap everyone I saw eating white rice.
Eat Fresh Famous Hong Kong Street Food rice is really commendable. It made the beef brisket extra delish! The sauce was a perfect mix of sweet and salty. The beef was so tender that it easily separates when poked with chopsticks. The burned inner bottom evenly created a smokey flavour throughout the dish.

| Chicken and Chinese Sausage Combo Claypot Rice Ph 150 |
This would be better if the chicken is deboned and cut up in small pieces. The rice was able to fully absorb all the flavors of the ingredients. It was really satisfying.
 |
| Special Fried Rice PhP 85 |
You're probably wondering what viand we paired this fried rice with? It's the pork siomai. My husband is quite a food freak and prefers to eat siomai with rice.
For that kind of price, I dare say that it can rival the fried rice of most Chinese restos. We like that it's not oily and seasoned lightly.
 |
| Iced Tea with Lemon {1 litre} PhP 95 |
They have two sizes of iced tea and lemonade at Eat Fresh Famous Hong Kong Street Food. For the iced tea, I got the bigger one since I find the other cup size too small to accompany our heavy meal. The 1 L cup is as big as the sumo iced tea of Tokyo Tokyo. It was quite good but very sweet. The lemonade, on the other hand, was light and very refreshing.
