Canton Road for Valerie.

Ever since Canton Road in Shangri-la at the Fort opened, I have not heard too many good reviews about it so I haven't made an effort to dine there or to bring the Dizon clan over. 

When Val told me that she was going to celebrate her birthday dinner there and was asking me for help with the menu, I told her that I couldn't assist because I have never tried the restaurant. 

When we got there, the place is quite beautiful. We were situated in a private room where we can make all sorts of green jokes.

We had about 9-10 dishes and I can honestly say that it isn't bad at all. Since it was pre-ordered, we were served quite quickly but I wish it came out hotter. 

Found the pork too sweet. Too much sugar that when it got cold, the pork stuck to the plate like it was glued. 

This was delicious, I just hope there's a better way to make it look less scary. 

Overall, I must say that I wasn't disappointed. But as always, the company is always the best part. 

Thank you Valerie for having me. Happy Birthday! Love you.

Shangri-la at the Fort

Chinese best at Crystal Dragon.

I used to live in QC. For two years now, I have been in Makati because the traffic is just getting worse. It is so bad that going to Fort is already such an effort for me. Spending hours in the car that is 3 kilometers away is just crazy. But what more when you think City of Dreams, right? 

Interestingly enough, I went at 11 am on a Saturday and it took me only 15 minutes. Not only was I ecstatic about how pleasant that experience was, my tummy was going to get a wonderful treat from Crystal Dragon thanks to Charisse Chuidian and her staff! 

Brought the toughest food critic in the world, my Dad, and he was extremely happy with the food! 

With this simple and delightful lunch, I am convinced that even if it will take me an hour to go back to Crystal Dragon, I will surely take on that challenge because it is totally worth the trip. 

A great thanks to the chef for this appetizer. 

Complimentary dessert!!

Huang Ting, Peninsula Beijing.

This restaurant inside Peninsula Beijing is something that I will not easily forget. There's absolutely NOTHING that I DON'T LOVE about it. The feel, ambiance, the lighting, the decor, the tables and chairs, the partitions, the service, THE FOOD and even the toilet. Yes, the toilet. It's simply perfect and this would be a place that I would love to go back to Beijing to. 

We didn't eat so much this time, thus the few food photos but just by looking at the rich and delightful interior, it filled up my soul. (naks! hehe)

But honestly, if you are in Beijing or planning to go to there, please don't forget to visit Huang Ting. You won't regret it.
