Chow King Restaurants超群餐厅

超群是菲律宾街头随处可见的中式快餐店,甚至在阿联酋、美国、印尼等国开有分店。超群餐厅和Greenwich、Red Ribbon、汉堡王(菲律宾)、永和大王(中国)都属于菲律宾华商陈觉中的Jollibee餐饮集团。祖籍福建、在菲律宾长大的陈觉中能说流利国语、闽南语,主因是他自幼就读华侨学校,上午念美国课本(当时混乱的菲律宾还没有自己的教材),下午则是中华民国(台湾)课本。

超群的美食中西合璧,完全适合菲律宾人的口味。馄饨面、炒饭保持了中式风味;包子是甜的,还配甜酱油膏吃,完全是菲律宾特色;炸鸡是菲律宾人最爱的食物之一,也是美式事物的代表之一;米饭是菲律宾人习惯的长米,没有粘性,与美国常见大米相同(菲律宾人非常喜欢吃米饭,供不应求,需要从国外进口,但通常都是从柬埔寨等国进口最廉价的米)。

Chowking
如果有的餐品不能在付款时立刻提供给客人,客人将得到一个号码牌,放于桌上,将有服务员送餐到桌。但餐具通常需要顾客自己取用。有的餐厅有免费饮用水提供。餐厅服务员都会带头罩,头发脱落掉入顾客的食物中。

Chowking Chinese-Style Fried Chicken
中式炸鸡,味道还不错。大概是用中国五香粉等腌制的,所以称为中式炸鸡,但其实跟肯德基也差不多。

超群炒饭55披索起
超群最超值的食物就是炒饭了,价廉物美。

Quezon Memorial Shrine, Quezon City, Philippines

Quezon Memorial Shrine是为纪念菲律宾建国总统Manuel L. Quezon而兴建的纪念堂,里面有Quezon生平事迹展和他的棺材。

Quezon一生为了菲律宾摆脱美国殖民统治而努力。美国民主党上台后终于成功说服美国为菲律宾独立建立日程表。在此进程中,遭遇太平洋战争爆发,日本入侵菲律宾,Quezon也逃到了美国避难,菲律宾解放前病逝于美国。其棺椁一度安放在菲律宾华人公墓,后来建立这个纪念堂后才搬迁过来。

菲律宾也成立了以Quezon命名的省和以Quezon命名的市来纪念他,Quezon市一度成为菲律宾的首都(1948-1976),按美国城市标准进行了规划。Quezon纪念堂所在的大圆环就是一个巨型公园,虽已破败,但还是吸引了很多市民来此休闲。
