Modern Shang is formerly known as Modern Shanghai. I have no idea kung gaano na katagal yung restaurant sa Pilipinas pero bago-bago pa yung branch nila sa SM Sta Rosa. It just opened last July 202,3 but I only saw this restaurant when we ate at Texas Roadhouse. 

Modern Shang’s mission is to provide quality and innovative cuisine in Beijing, Sichuan, and Shanghai. I have never been to China, so I can’t compare, but after eating at Modern Shang, I finally appreciate Chinese cuisine, so feeling ko hindi lang masasarap yung nakainan ko dati. Hehehe! 

Prior to our visit, I checked Modern Shang’s menu online, so I already had an idea of what to order. We ordered some of their best-sellers like Deep-Fried Squid with Spicy Salt and Pepper PHP418, Yang Chow Fried Rice PHP228 (per cup) and Signature Xiao Long Bao PHP198 (4 pcs). My husband also added Steamed Tofu in Shallot Oil PHP248. 

After ordering our meal, they immediately served water, hot tea, and crackers and they even refilled the tea and crackers nung nakita nila na naubos agad namin, hehehe! Gutom na talaga kasi kami. After 15 minutes, they already served our food. 

We were so happy with our order, so I knew that we would go back again, siguro sa next check-up ko ulit.

I seldom go out of the house but when I do, ginagawa ko na yung dapat gawin para isang pagod na lang. Hehehe! First, I had breakfast with my friends at Ambos Panederia + Cocina, and then we went to Pag-ibig office because we planned to continue our contribution as voluntary members. Next, we went to SM Sta Rosa because my friend needed to buy something, and we had a late lunch at Modern Shang.

This has been my go-to restaurant na kapag napapadpad sa SM Sta Rosa. My friend ordered from Shanghai Wok Bowls, the Orange Chicken Bowl, but she could not finish this dish because it was too spicy for her. My son ordered this before during our last visit, but did not mention that it was spicy, or maybe because he loves spicy food.

I ordered Porkchop Egg Fried Rice PHP498. It looks like a small meal pero nahirapan na ako ubusin ito. And because of that, take out ko na lang yung supposed to be dessert namin na Deep-Fried Glutinous Dumplings. PHP208.

I went to the hospital for my routine check-up, but the staff informed me na 1PM pa daw darating yung doctor, so I was contemplating kung uuwi pa ba ko or maghihintay na lang. My husband and I decided na maghintay na lang so we went to SM Sta Rosa to kill time.

I went to SM Customer Service to claim our PSA Birth Certificates. I was crossing my fingers na hindi sayang yung pinila ko. Naexperience ko na kasi yung hindi pa available yung order ko. Fortunately, naclaim ko lahat. 

Then we went to Modern Shang to eat our lunch, we wanted to avail of the 50% off promo sana, but unfortunately, hindi pala every day. Toink. So ito lang naorder namin, Shrimp with Preserved Egg Yolk Paste PHP528, Steamed Tofu in Shallot Oil 248, Yang Chow Fried Rice PHP498, and Deep-fried Glutinous Dumplings PHP208.

50% off the Bistro Group was back, so after groceries, we went to EVIA for early lunch. I asked my son kung Italian or Chinese cuisine, and he chose Chinese, so we ate at Modern Shang. 

We ordered our favorites and some new dishes: Xiao Long Bao (6 pcs) PHP268, Pan Fried Mantou PHP98, Sweet and Sour Pork (S) PHP468, Roast Crispy Pork (S) PHP528, Shrimp with Preserved Egg Yolk Paste PHP528, Deep Fried Squid (S) PHP418, Yang Chow Fried Rice PHP498, and Deep-fried Glutinous Dumplings PHP208. 

We almost finished our order, yung Roast Crispy Pork lang ang may natira, pero kahit konti, take-out pa rin namin. Hehehe! We liked the Pan-Fried Mantou with condensed milk so I recreated this meal at home. Good thing, I always buy mantou and condensed milk. I always steamed our mantou pero mas masarap pala yung fried. Parang donut.
