The family especially the elders are wary of going too far just for a dinner. Thus, this is one of the few peculiar moments where we have decided to venture further North to try a new Chinese restaurant. We were probably enchanted by Sha Tin Courtyard Chinese Bistro's facade.
Upon stepping in, we were more enamored by Sha Tin's interiors. The harmonious combination of red seats, lanterns and artificial greens reminded us of the lantern festival scenes from Chinese shows. Even the busy sound of the restaurant exudes a festive ambiance.
Now, these big red linen covered round tables were the much familiar set up for a Chinese restaurant.
While waiting, we were served some complimentary hot tea and peanuts. This is also customary for Chinese restaurants of this type.
Food
As expected, the menu offers both ala carte and set menu. For Chinese restaurants that we regularly visit, we usually take the set menu and the adjust a few dishes therein based on the advisement of the manager. However, since this is our first time to try Sha Tin, we opted to go for the ala carte so we can try the dishes that interested us.
Dimsum Articles
Kuchai Scallop Dumpling (110 php) |
Because Sha Tin is not near our area of residence, the time of arrival of my relatives varied so those who were early opted to order some dimsum first before . It offered a lot of dimsum selections. But most of them were quite heavy. We just wanted something to start our meal so we ordered the Kuchai Scallop Dumpling first. We loved this so we ordered around three of these per table.
Century Egg Siomai (85 php) |
While waiting for our repeat order of Kuchai Scallop Dumpling, we also ordered the Century Egg Siomai. We enjoyed this as much as the Kuchai Scallop Dumpling so we also ordered three of this per table.
Prawn Hakao (130 php) |
Of course, the Prawn Hakao is our classic dimum order which never failed to satisfy us just us in this instance.
Soup
Healthy Vegetarian
Soup
Shark's Fin Soup with Shredded Chicken and Bamboo Fungus L (2,250 php) |
Perhaps, 99% of our lauriat dinners begins with a hot bowl of shark's fin soup. There's just something about it's warm, thick and gelatinous texture that makes it so comfortable to drink. We loved this because the shredded chicken and bamboo fungus was harmonious with the base texture of the soup. To be honest, we don't mind much about the taste as we always enjoy this with our preferred amount of vinegar.
Healthy Vegetarian
Sizzling Stuffed Pan Fried Tofu (450 php) |
Unexpectedly, our favorite dish for the night was the Sizzling Stuffed Pan Fried Tofu. Yes, there is really something delicious and healthy at the same time and this dish proves it.
Claypot Dishes
Fried/Salt & Pepper
Nutrient Steamed Dishes
The most common way of cooking steamed fish is with beans. What we loved about the Steamed East Star with Bean Paste is that it was garlicky too.
The Peking Duck was prepared just beside our table and was served in two ways: Peking Duck Pancakes and Diced Peking Duck.
Of course, Peking Duck is peking duck. Either way is great.
We ordered one for each table but didn't finish it and even brought home left overs.
Noodles and Rice
Last but not the least... in the order of serving... is always the Birthday Noodles. This is one of the very few encounters of this dish where we were delighted to eat it not just for a mere tradition.
Claypot Dishes
Beef Short Ribs in Black Pepper Stew L (1,100 php) |
The Beef Short Ribs in Black Pepper Stew was rather pricey and yet it failed top make a lasting impression to make us want to order it again. It was lacked tenderness and juciness to make it pleasurable to eat with its rich pepperish sauce.
Fried/Salt & Pepper
Salt and Pepper Chicken L (720 php) |
Nutrient Steamed Dishes
Steamed East Star with Bean Paste |
Peking Duck (2,280 php/whole) |
Because it was a birthday celebration with the clan, we ordered the Peking Duck to mark the occassion.
Peking Duck Pancakes |
The Peking Duck was prepared just beside our table and was served in two ways: Peking Duck Pancakes and Diced Peking Duck.
Diced Peking Duck |
Diced Peking Duck in Lettuce Wraps |

You'd think Chinese dinners after Chinese dinners, I be tired of it by now. Yet, could you believe becuase of diners like Asian Taste Seafood Restaurant and family bonding, I would say it is a unique memory I'd treasure.
Asian Taste Seafood Restaurant is one of the many restaurants located at the newly opened Seascape Village in CCP Complex beside Sofitel Manila.
Set up and interiors screams "typical Chinese Lauriat Restaurant".
But is it?
Food
To be honest, on most days, I'm on a happy-go-lucky jolly foodie mode. But, my family would know that I have this zoned out moments. On this dinner, I was pretty much in that mood especially since the service was terrible and the food way to long before they even served the food.
Then, food began to be served and I had a sip of their nido soup and everything that follows.
Everything was so good that we had wiped out the noodle dish for the very first time.
♥ Steamed Suahe |
Seascape Village must definitely be a place for seafood because the crab is also so good.
While I prefer my fish to be steamed, this fried fish is so well-cooked that the tenderness was not wasted at all.
We may have over ordered noodles. But, the generous amount of bamboo shells was well-appreciated.
I don't know who ordered this but with guilt comes goodness right?
♥ Mango Sago |
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Asian Taste Seafood Restaurant offered superb Chinese food for an affordable price.. The only drawback is the slow service. Being a newly opened restaurant, we have high hopes that they could still work on it.

The Century Seafood Restaurant: Chinese Lauriat Dinner (Century Park Hotel Malate)
Malate, Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines
I've been to The Century Seafood Restaurant many times. and their usually during occasions: birthdays, weddings, baptism...
It has a huge space so it's quite ideal for any party.
Aside from the dining areas, it has private rooms like this one where my Uncle's birthday was held.
Food
If it's Chinese restaurant, no doubt food would be serve lauriat style. And, when you've dined at the same place, you kind of know the items that's typical for table sets too. Anyways, starting of with the
Assorted Barbecue Combination. I love these. In fact, I love these so much that I'd secretly feel lucky if I'm seated in a unfilled table so I can have more of these. =p
I'm aware that there's a lot of issues with sharks. But, the Crabmeat Sharks Fin Soup is already ordered so I consumed it praying it's not real shark fin (you know they now use jellies and stuff) because it is delicious!
You can't go wrong with Fried Prawn with Garlic and Pepper. Any cuisine, any version of this being cooked is always good.
The Abalone Mushroom with Black Mushroom is my favorite because I'm a sucker for mushroom.
The Scallop with Black Moss Hair and Broccoli is another favorite of mine. Aside from the taste, I have to admit the rarity and price of scallop is another factor that I look forward to having it each time.
Though loaded with cholesterol, I love Fried Pigeon so much that I even enjoy eating its brain. =)
The Steamed Crab is another sure fire hit among the crowd of young and old. With a crab of this size, anyone wouldn't mind getting their hands dirty.
In every dinner I've been, one dish that will always be scraped clean to the bones is Steamed Lapu-Lapu.
My mom is a big fan of Chinese noodles, there are days at home that she'd ask us to buy her some or her some delivered. But, I'm personally not a fan of Birthday Noodles. I have my share as a contribution for the long life of the celebrants though.
Steamed Birthday Buns with sweet paste is something I've wanna have as much as I want. But, on is enough to make me feel full.
The Tapioca in Coconut Milk is not as popular as the Mango Sago. Some kids don't even want to have it.
