For me, Chowking’s Chao Fan Fried Rice is the ultimate ‘tipid-sulit’ meal. I mean, there are a lot of fast food out there offering affordable meals, but this one just tops them all. We Filipinos love rice, and with this meal, we get a bowlful of it plus it’s really tasty. A definite value for money.
