Food
When we first dined at Golden China, we found it to be too pricey and the food was not impressive. 

Complimentary Peanuts

But, from our second and subsequent visits, the price has been adjusted and the menu was improvised to sooth the typical Tsinoy (Filipino-Chinese) taste or at least our taste.

Sharksfin with Shredded Chicken Soup

Whelks?

♥ Roasted Goose Hongkong Style

The Roasted Goose Hongkong Style was perfectly cooked.  The hot plate was an excellent idea.

♥ Steamed Live Lapu-Lapu

We appreciate the Steamed Live Lapu-Lapu which tasted so sweet and fresh and also de-boned for our convenience.

♥ Stewed Abalone with Red Beans

♥ Baked Shrimp with Plums

We are glad to discover the Baked Shrimp with Plums.  We will probably order this again.
 

♥ Sauteed Asparagus with Black Fungus and Chinese Yam

Baked Crab with Salted Egg Yolk

The Baked Crab with Salted Egg Yolk was wiped clean.  No further descriptions need!

♥ Birthday Noodles

This is the best Birthday Noodles we've tried yet.  The noodles were light and there was no evident oiliness upon eating it.

Snow Fungus Soup

♥ Golden China Egg Tart and Puff Pastry

The Golden China Egg Tart was really good!  We'd even prefer these over Lord Stow's.  The texture was superb.  There was no oiliness that would stick to your hands and it was so light and crisp that the crust crumbles gently in every bite.  The puffs were also delicious!

Mixed Fruit Platter

See every inch of the place is so grand!

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Four in Love BBQ and Hot Pot Buffet offers a top-notch bbq and hot put buffet experience.  For the 20% off price, the Abundance Set is definitely worth a try!  Because of the soup and mookata add-on price, its best to bring at least three companions.  Overall, we Tsinoy Foodies enjoyed the grill, hotpot and sauce mixing experience.  We also liked the three price point for the sets so you can choose depending on your appetite and budget.  Perhaps, for simplicity though, the price could be more inclusive for the soup and drinks.
