Something old, and something new...
Since it first opened in 2001, Super Bowl of China has long been known for its comforting and affordable Cantonese-style cuisine. And it just got better, with a refreshed new look and vibe...
As you enter Super Bowl of China's Megamall branch, one can immediately notice the different and new design elements of the establishment, from the new staff uniforms, modern drop lights hanging from the ceiling, intricate lattice woodwork on the walls, and elegant furniture for a refreshed and updated look and feel.
The oriental origins of the establishment are reflected in the numerous design details of the interiors, while another section features an "infographic wall" (L) that provides a visual snapshot of the brand's history, personality and best-selling dishes. The new logo also reflects this update, with a more streamlined and modern rendition.
And for a limited time, Super Bowl of China introduces its new dishes starting with the refreshing Red Bean Milk Tea (P 85), brewed Chinese tea blended with milk topped with sweet red beans and shaved ice. The bold, earthy notes of the Chinese tea are perfectly balanced by the creamy milk, with a layer of nutty sweetness from the red beans. It's the perfect iced beverage to start your reconnection with Super Bowl of China...
Pair your Red Bean Milk Tea with Super Bowl of China's new Pork Wanton with Mala Sauce (P 95), soft and chewy dumplings with ground pork topped with a mildly spicy Mala sauce. The soft and chewy dumplings, with its mild flavored stuffing of ground pork, is given a flavorful boost with the Mala sauce, a spicy peppercorn and chili sauce simmered in oil. The subtle sweet and rich notes of the flavorful pork are tempered by the soothing layer of heat from the Mala sauce for balanced flavors. The Mala sauce is not overwhelmingly spicy, and does not overpower the delicate flavors of the dumpling. The lingering heat is refreshing, as you go for another bite. A personal favorite.
After some dimsum, go for Super Bowl of China's new Hot Chicken Salad (P 270), with boneless battered and crispy chicken fillet tossed in a creamy, homemade mayonnaise topped with assorted fruits and lemon. The contrasting textures of the crispy, breaded chicken plays well with the smooth and rich mayo dressing, punctuated by the sweet notes of the fresh fruits. It's a dish with a balanced play on textures and flavors, making each bite a refreshing and new flavor experience.
Other new dishes include the Beef with Ampalaya & Black Bean Salad (P 300), with tender slices of beef and thinly sliced bitter melon sauteed with mushrooms, black beans and spices, drizzled with oyster sauce and flavorful dark soy sauce. The thin slices of beef release a bold and robust beefy flavor, balanced by the distinct notes of the bitter melon and black bean sauce, great with some of Super Bowl of China's signature fried rice.
The hearty and comforting Beef Hofan (P 260) rounds up the new dishes at Super Bowl of China, with flat and chewy Shanghai noodles sauteed in oyster and dark soy sauce topped with premium tender beef, white onions, and leeks. A meal in itself, the chewy flat noodles are just perfect with the tender beef, layered with sharp notes from the oyster and dark soy sauce and leeks. The new dishes are a welcome addition to Super Bowl of China's signature favorites, offering refreshing new flavors along with its new look.
Then, there's Super Bowl of China's classic all-time favorites and simsum, like the impressive Dimsum Combination Platter (P 310), a medley of dimsum treats on a large bamboo steamer with crispy Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Pork Siomai, Deep-Fried Wanton, Hakao (or steamed prawn dumplings), and Pork Asado Siopao (steamed soft pork buns). Prepare you dipping sauce and pick up a dimsum...
Follow it up with Super Bowl of China's classic Lemon Chicken (P 270), with crisp, breaded and juicy chicken fillet draped in a sweet and tart lemon sauce, served with Worcestershire sauce and spicy salt on the side. The tender chicken, with its delicate flavors, is kicked up a notch with its crisp outer layer and distinct lemon sauce. It's comforting flavors like this that made Super Bowl of China a well-known name among local diners.
Complete your feast at Super Bowl of China with their signature Yang Chow Fried Rice (P 260), soft and fluffy rice topped with shrimps, pork asado, and vegetables, and best paired with another Super Bowl of China favorite...
...the best-selling Sweet & Sour Pork (P 295), crispy breaded pork cutlets covered in a sweet and tangy sauce with red and green peppers and pineapple chunks for another classic combination. Other dishes, like the Chinese Chorizo Fried Rice (P 250), Lechon Macau (P 350), Hakka Pork Belly (P 270), BBQ Pork Asado (P 290), Golden Shanghai Chicken (P 260), Szechuan Shrimp (P 350), Sliced Beef with Broccoli (P 365), Super Bowl Birthday Noodles (P 290), and Braised Tofu with Mushroom (P 220) round out the usual cast in a comforting feast of flavors at Super Bowl of China.
For dessert, Super Bowl of China offers its velvety smooth silken tofu, the traditional hot Taho (P 110), with sweet syrup and tapioca pearls. Served in a wooden tub, simply scoop up the soft bean curd and pour some of the syrup and top with chewy tapioca pearls for a comforting and flavorful flashback to childhood. The cool thing about the way Super Bowl of China serves its Taho is that you can customize your bowl with your own desired level of sweetness by simpling pouring the sweet syrup.
Other classic desserts at Super Bowl of China include their signature Peanut Buchi (P 100), soft glutinous rice balls covered with finely chopped peanuts with a sweet mung bean filling...
...and the refreshing Black Gulaman with Lychee (P 95), a chilled dessert with soft black jelly and sweet lychee on shaved ice. New and familiar flavors combine for another memorable dining experience at Super Bowl of China. "A number of elements, from the new logo and menu design, to staff uniforms, restaurant design, decor, floor and wall finishes furnishings, and food presentation, have contributed to revamped Super Bowl of China, which is part of the company's plan to capture a younger and wider market," said Laine de Jesus-Vallar, Senior Marketing Manager. A refreshing new look, and new dishes, are more than enough reasons to revisit and reconnect with an old favorite. And relish once again the Super Bowl of China dining experience.
