This highly pretentious and expensive restaurant presented very nice Chinese food but it was a complete rip off and the service was poor!
We ordered half a duck with pancakes but in fact only half of it (15 paper thin slices) was carved up in...front of us (in a very portentous ceremony). When we had filled half the pancakes with the carved duck and asked for the remainder of it we were told “the remainder of it has been disposed off since you had not requested it is cooked in an alternative manner”. After much defensive talk from the waiter he offered to bring us a few slices of barbecued pork instead.
Two waitresses approached the waiter carving up our duck and seemingly asked him to smell some wine from a bottle and then poured him a glass to drink. This involved giggling and looked very unprofessional given the impression and prices they charge.
Furthermore they served hoisin sauce in a tiny saucer (meant to be used in 15 pancakes) and an equally small amount of cucumber and spring onion. We had to ask them to top it up several times. Again, in a restaurant that charges extortionate prices the service was suboptimal.
Half a duck (in actual fact a quarter), 4 dim sum, braised vegetables and a small bottle of fizzy water, unlimited jasmine tea cost over 5000 pesos (£75). They had the cheek to add service charge. It was the most expensive and disappointing meal in the Philippines!!! Avoid this place.More
