MILLBRAE, CA
SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT AREA
This home owned chinese restaurant is very near to San Francisco Airport. The interior and exterior is really simple, nothing fancy or china like. Chenung Hing is one amongst the many chinese restaurants on this street, however we loved it for its simplicity and very happy with the quality and taste of food. It seemed very authentic in taste.
The unique feature is they serve complimentary hot green tea in a steel tea-kettle. You sip it in the little tiny china cups provided on the table. Amongst the endless 4 page densely written menu (both in chinese and english) we selected Kung Pao Chicken since this is our favorite recipe and egg fried rice. The order came really quick and the waiter was really good. People on the table besides us ordered soup. The waiter was serving it with a ladle with a chinese elegance with one hand on the back and the other serving the soup with a laddle in the small soup bowls. The hand gestures were very elegant.
Kung Pao Chicken that we ordered was the best of all we ever had. We have eaten and PF Chang’s too and this one beats all. The chicken was cooked real soft and the sauce was not overwhelmed by butter/ grease. It felt very light while eating too and we could eat a larger portion that we regularly do. The portion size was big and we shared the rice and chicken amongst us two. Each entree was not more than $7 bucks and was hence the best deal we found.
Their pork and chicken seems to be famous here. Also many other Asians ordered seaweed, which seems to be a famous preparation too.
