When I first sat down to post to my blog I was very unsure of what to blog about. Then I realized that I ate at an excellent restaurant in NYC. Philippe Restaurant was founded by the chef Philippe Chow. He began his cooking career in Hong Kong and eventually brought his expertise to New York. His restaurant contains Bejing- inspired dishes that are absolutely delicious. This restaurant is a bit pricey, but if you want a meal that will not disappoint you this is a place to try.
I found out about this place through social media. A friend had posted her meal and this attracted me to look further into the restaurant. The food looked amazing, but what attracted me the most was that the menu states that there is absolutely no MSG in the food. Many foods contain MSG, especially Chinese food. I love to eat Chinese food, but the biggest problem with it is that the side effects are always unpleasant. MSG is a "silent killer" in foods. Consuming MSG leads to unpleasant side effects such as headache, nausea, weakness, and chest pain.
After eating at Philippe's, I did not experience any of the symptoms that MSG causes. I was actually able to eat an entire meal and feel full, but not to the point of being sick. It wasn't until last night that I realized the effects of MSG. I actually stopped eating and thought to myself, "this is what it feels like to eat Chinese food and not feel sick." I will now be more conscious of foods that contain MSG when eating. Philippe's changed my views on food last night. I highly recommend this restaurant.
