Eating Authentic Chinese Food At The Mingnan Chinese Cuisine

7/2/2017

Comments

 
​Cebuanos are very much familiar with Chinese food. In fact, one of the things Cebuanos miss whenever they leave the island for work or study is the Chinese food offered by a famous Chinese restaurant in the city. While the restaurant opened a branch in Manila a couple of years ago, Cebuanos still make the place one of their first stops whenever they return to the Queen City of the South. But, did you know that there is one Chinese restaurant that offers authentic Chinese food at a very reasonable price? The place is called Mingnan Chinese Cuisine.

Mingnan Chinese Cuisine

The Mingnan Chinese Cuisine is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant located in downtown Cebu. The place serves authentic Chinese food at a very reasonable price. In fact, Mingnan Chinese Cuisine is known for its PHP50 meal, which includes a choice of two viands and rice. Customers get to choose the viand from the food on display. It can be an all meat or all vegetable viands.

​In addition, the place also offers other items such as their dumplings and lomi. Customers will have to order these food items from the food servers since these items are prepared upon order.  The price of their dumplings is PHP80 for ten pieces while their lomi is priced at PHP50 per serving.

Location

Mingnan Chinese Cuisine actually has two locations in the city. The original location is along Plaridel Ext, which is a side street close to the Basilica del Sto. Niño Church. The second and newer location is at the ground floor of the JESA ITC building along General Maxilom Ave. This is the building directly across National Bookstore. The Plaridel Ext. location is essentially a cafeteria-style restaurant while the General Maxilom Ave. location is a sit-down restaurant.

Getting There

You can get to the original location of Mingnan Chinese Cuisine by getting on a jeepney that will go through Osmeña Boulevard. You can get off at the corner where Ranola Motor Company is located. The restaurant is located a few steps from the corner on the left side of the side street. For the second location, you can simply ride a jeepney headed for General Maxilom Ave. You can get off at the jeepney stop close to National Bookstore.

​Chinese food and Cebuanos mix well together. This can be seen through the numerous restaurants offering Chinese food in the city. Due to this, it is not surprising that the Mingnan Chinese Cuisine continues to thrive even with the entry of many national and international fast food places in Cebu.
