Authenticity is one of the major things I am looking for whenever I dine out, whether its Japanese, Chinese, European or even Pinoy dish served. Of course it comes with the price but then you need to gauge the actual value from what you are paying for.

One of the Iloilo city restaurants that serves authentic Chinese dishes is Master Chua Food Haus. Their first location is at the downtown Calle Real area in JM Basa street. Later on they expanded a second restaurant at 1688 Mall in Quezon street across Robinsons City proper. The location is in the line of restaurants fronting the Quezon wing of the mall.

I have discovered the resto the first time when I checked on Google Maps on its Explore option for nearby restaurants from my office. It is just a few blocks away and so I decided to check the reviews posted. So far they were all 5-stars and the comments really testified that they serve authentic Chinese cuisine.

I decided to check the place on a lunch break. The look outside seem to be an ordinary turo-turo stand but with the Chinese dishes served. They also have the usual Chinese food like lumpia, siomai, dumplings and they have list of menu for the various Chinese noodles. Each noodle dish are priced from P80 to P100 each serving.

My first order as I have remembered was a rice meal for P100 where you get to choose two main dish and partner it with a cup of rice. There is also an option for one piece of fried chicken combo meal for P120.

I took some pictures of the dishes I have ordered in every visit and you can check them in the Google Photo album below. Enjoy!

Lastly, here is the Google Maps location of Master Chua Food Haus in JM Basa street. Most of the city-bound jeeps (Jaro CPU, Jaro CPU Ungka, Jaro Liko, Lapaz) pass by this major street in the downtown.
