Had lunch here with the family this long weekend. One of the few Chinese restaurants that I can say I would go back to.
Ordered lechon macau, beef with plum sauce, truffle mushrooms (MUST TRY) and crabmeat soup.
Everything we ordered was tasty. The lechon macau was okay, you can get this in any restaurant. The soup too. I was absolutely happy with the beef because it was unique and new. We opted for the plum sauce instead of the usual pepper sauce, and it's sweet and tender. Perfect with white rice. But the main highlight of our lunch menu was the truffle mushrooms! If you're a fan of truffle, then you'll love this! You can taste the truffle, but not too overpowering so you can still taste the mushrooms. I love how there are also different kinds of mushrooms in the dish.
Will definitely come back for my newest Chinese favorite dish - truffle mushrooms! Definitely a must try when you're stopping by.
Had dinner with a group. We ordered the Seafood and Pumpkin Thick Soup, Hargao, Sharksfin Dumpling, Siopao, Radish Cake with XO, Crispy Pork Belly, Sweet & Sour Pork, French Beans with Garlic, Flat Noodles with Sate Beef, Chicken. Everything tasted very good. Service was good. Price is on the high side, but was made average by the credit card promo.
Only got to try Xiu now, and I've got to say, very impressive and definitely feels like a step up from the usual chinese places around Manila (of course, with a corresponding jump in price as well). Pretty much everything I tried was impressive, their suckling pig is definitely a start that is not very usual. It comes with a good kiampung at the bottom, and fried enoki mushrooms all around it. I would not really classify this as an appetizer anymore, this is a full on main course. It is pricey, but definitely something that will impress. Their suahe were very nice, their eel rice is particularly impressive. I am not usually a fan of eel, but this was incredibly tender, not a bone in sight, and really goes well with the rice.
This is a pricey place, but it is a contender for the best chinese restaurant in manila.
