There are heaps of Chinese restaurants and takeaways in NZ, but few will compare to FoodSing in terms of palate-satisfaction. I think you can judge the wellness of a restaurant based on the difficulty to acquire table seats during dinnertime. As the place becomes very full from 7PM onwards, it is in your best interest to make a reservation first before showing up at the door at 7PM (or you could arrive with no seat reservation at 6PM just as we did, hehe).

According to our Chinese friends, the menu is influenced by Southern China, which basically means that it will be a bit spicy. You can request a dish to be made more spicy or less, depending on your preference.

When we eat outside, we usually make it a point to order dishes that cannot be duplicated in the home kitchen. As such, we decided to order ‘Whole Fish with Sweet Chilli Sauce’ for $18.00. I usually have a mental reservation when it comes to fish, but the dish is surprisingly good. The fish meat is very crunchy and the sauce is spot-on. If you miss ‘Sweet and Sour Fish’ in the Philippines, then this is the closest replica you can get. We also ordered ‘Spring Rolls’ for $4.00 just because I love lumpia, simple as that :)

They have a varied menu, and I am sure everything will be exquisite. You may also try the ‘Sizzling Hot Plate Spice Beef’ for $18.00.
In regard to the pricing, I see it fair; not too dear, not too cheap. All worth the bucks because of the tastebud stimulation you will get, all in generous servings.

One thing I do not like about FoodSing is the staff. I guess they all had a long day, or it was a very buys night, but I find the service lacking. True the order came in fast, but I guess it makes no harm for them to smile occasionally or ask the customers how they are.
FoodSing is located at 376 Riccarton Road, Christchurch, New Zealand. Call (03) 3416992 for reservations or takeaways.

Verdict: Recommended.
