Since the onset of websites and social media, rarely do we encounter a hole-in-a-wall joint that literally under the radar like Arab Asian Resto Cafe.
Although this Arab Asian Resto Cafe is marked in google maps, it has no reviews in Zomato or Tripadvisor and the like so it has no online presence. But, we've sharing about it now because we believe it should have. This humble place serves very affordable and delicious dishes and drinks.
We discovered this through Meaningful Travel's Muslim Immersion Tour and we were told then that in contrast to what we hear about them from the media, Muslim's are actually peaceful and simple. In fact, some of them just live within the Golden Mosque compound. The owner of this establishment is one who also stays there.

With all prices hiking up, people are continuously in search for the best meal offers. Well, we Tsinoy Foodies, recently discovered Holy Cow! Sizzler's Meat All You Can for 399 php.
And, we're going to give you our Top 7 Reasons to Go For the Meat All You Can for 399 php.
1. No Lines
Holy Cow Sizzlers has two spacious branches that offers the meat all you can for 399 php. Both of them are so spacious, they can even cater to parties and functions.
We prefer the one in Ayala Trinoma Mall because we find its mall location to be quite convenient.
Although there is a time limit of 2 hours, all the dishes that you order are served fast (within 5 to 10 minutes), cooked, ready to eat in a hot sizzling plate. Yes, in essence this adopts a sit down and "order all you can" concept which is rarely offered.
 |
| Chinito (chicken na prinito?) |
How great is that? You save time from 1) lining up and 2) cooking that you can
spend all that time for eating. In fact, we were able to eat here during our
work lunch break.
 |
| Chicken Fillet |
Although the dishes here are served hot on a sizzling plate, it does not involve cooking the food on the table so its smokeless. Thus, you won;t have smoke sticking into your clothing. You can eat here on a lunch break and not worry about taking the smell of smokiness back to your office. You can take clients here for meeting too.
 |
| Beef |
4. 5 Premium Meats
Aside
from the full service experience, they also offer an expansive
selection with many types of premium meat (with sauces!) and side
dishes.
 |
| Pork Belly |
There are 5 types of premium meat dishes:
1.) Beef
2.) Pork Belly
3.) Chicken Fillet
4.) Chicken Chinitos
5.) Fish Fingers
 |
| Fish Fillet |
 |
| Fish Fillet |
Don't we love to eat our rice dishes with sauces? Holy Cow knows this so well that it offers 5
signature sauces:
1.) White Sauce (for the Fish Fillet)
2.) Soy Garlic (for the the Pork Belly)
3.) Spicy Barbecue (for the Beef, Pork Belly or Chicken Fillet)
4.) Peppercorn Gravy (for the Beef, Pork Belly or Chicken Fillet)
5.) Trio Mushroom Gravy (for the Beef, Pork Belly or Chicken Fillet)
 |
| Garlic Rice |
1.) Garlic Rice
You can simultaneously order any premium meats and side dishes that you want. I'm sure those who cannot eat a meal without rice will order the Garlic Rice first.
 |
| Mashed Potato (the signature sauce works for the side dishes too) |
Who could resist Mashed Potatoes?
 |
| Macaroni Salad |
 |
| French Fries |
The French Fries were thick cut and mushy just the way we wanted it.
 |
| Mojos |
If you want potato in crisp and crunchy form then the Mojos is for you.
 |
| Sweet Potato |
The Sweet Potato is an addictive choice for those with sweet tooth.
 |
| Cheese Croquettes |
If we were to order just one side dish, hands down it would be the Cheese Croquettes. This is our first time to have this item for eat all you can. In fact, croquettes are usually offered in a Spanish restaurant for an expensive price. Take Terry Bistro's cheese croquetas for example, an order of 6 pcs. is already 480 php (as of the time we wrote this).
 |
| Corn & Carrots |
 |
| Coleslaw |
 |
| Buttered Vegetables |
7. 399 PHP All Inclusive Price
You get everything presented in the Meat All You Can Menu for an all inclusive price of 399 php. The published rate is clear and simple unlike others who will present the lowest price only to find out that you have to add more for more options.
 |
| Unlimited Iced Tea (70 php) |
With those 7 reasons to try Holy Cow! Sizzlers' Meat All You Can for 399 php, we, Tsinoy Foodies, guarantee that you will feel that you get your moneys worth for it!

While many would go to Seascape Village to buy fresh seafood and have them cooked ("paluto system"), we go there the lauriat set meals that the Chinese restaurants there offer. Golden China is one of the most luxurious Chinese Restaurants we have tried to date.
Because Golden China is pricey, the family only dines here during special occasions. For casual dining, we prefer Asian Taste Seafood Restaurant.
Although both restaurants occupy a significant portion of both ground and upper floor of Seascape Village, Golden China has a more upscale ambiance similar to a five-star hotel. The second floor is entirely reserved for private rooms with its own marbled rest rooms. The dinning style is like Glorias Mari's Sharkfin Restaurant in Greenhills but since this is newer, the design is more modern.
You have dedicated staffs allocated for your table. It also offers fine wines that is well-aerated through a decanter.
Food

| Complimentary Peanuts |
 |
| Sharksfin with Shredded Chicken Soup |
During our first visit, we just trusted the server to serve us the best set meal offered. We were served a clear soup with what we thought was ground chicken but turned out to be a baby shark. So on our second visit, we went for a more eco-friendly option and chose the one with Sharksfin with Shredded Chicken Soup.
 |
| Whelks? |
The highlight of our dining experience is the ♥ North Pole Shell Sashimi. It was a large rectangular plateful of assorted shells. Some of those were unfamiliar to us. All the edible mollucs served were so clean that there's not a sight of sand from it.
 |
| ♥ Roasted Goose Hongkong Style |
 |
| ♥ Steamed Live Lapu-Lapu |
 |
| ♥ Stewed Abalone with Red Beans |
The Stewed Abalone with Red Beans requires an excellent technique to accomplish. We are very impressed!
 |
| ♥ Baked Shrimp with Plums |
 |
| ♥ Sauteed Asparagus with Black Fungus and Chinese Yam |
Our bad recollections of Chinese Yam exuding earthy flavors were extinguished by the delight brought about the Sauteed Asparagus with Black Fungus and Chinese Yam. We didn't expect that this simple dish could be so addictive.
 |
| Baked Crab with Salted Egg Yolk |
 |
| ♥ Birthday Noodles |
 | |
| Snow Fungus Soup |
This the first time that a Chinese Restaurant here in Manila served us Snow Fungus Soup for dessert. It has a resemblance with the bird's nest soup but it was blander with a more solid form. Taste-wise, it wasn't outstanding but when we were told that this has tons of health benefits then we did not hesitate to finish it.
 |
| ♥ Golden China Egg Tart and Puff Pastry |
 |
| Mixed Fruit Platter |
The previous Mixed Fruit Platter we've had were more extravagant but since this was only complimentary so no complaints here.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
The price range at Golden China is the same as a fine dining hotel restaurant. You can also expect the top-notch food quality, ambiance and service that justifies the cost. Thus, it is one of our top considerations for intimate family occasions.
