Templo: Unlimited Szechuan Experience for eat all you can crabs, shrimp, scallops and more (Dapitan 55 Quezon City)
Crabs for us represent something special. These premium and luxurious treasures of the sea are so expensive that they are only served during special occasions. But Templo changed my perspective!
Templo is offering an Unlimited Szechuan Experience which includes Shrimps and Crabs.
Before proceeding with the food experience, let me share with you where you can find Templo. Templo is located in a small complex near Banawe called Dapitan 55. It offers limited capacity for around 30 persons so I advise that you call for reservation.
Unlimited Szechuan Experience
| Price as of Sept 2, 2019 |
Crab
| Crabs |
It's been a very long time since we specifically aimed for unlimited crabs. After the Red Crab craze, there hasn't been any famed unlimited crabs place in awhile. Even the most luxurious hotel buffets cannot be expected to offer unlimited crabs or even just having some of it.
So when we heard about Templo's promo, we instantly came to check it out. To be honest, we were expecting to have small crab species like what we Filipinos refer to as "alimasag". But, instead we got huge well-cleaned mud crabs. To prove to you that they cook it fresh, Templo also sells live ones!
The menu offers two options: Soy Garlic Crab and ♥ Salted Egg Crab. But, there's also a third off-menu option which is plain Steamed Crab. You can't go wrong with any option. But based on experience, the Salted Egg Crab should be the pricier variant so those who are naturally calculative in nature should opt for it.
| ♥ Soy Garlic Shrimp |
For Shrimp, you should try all three options: Soy Garlic Shrimp, Sweet Chili Shrimp and Salted Egg Tempura. The Soy Garlic Shrimp offers the lightest flavor that complements the natural shrimp taste.
| Sweet Chili Shrimp |
The Sweet Chili Shrimp was not as spicy as we thought. The mild spiciness gave a slight spike to the taste buds after being aroused by the delicious sweetness.
| ♥ Salted Egg Tempura |
The Salted Egg Tempura was different from the Japanese-style tempura. The batter is close to our Filipino dish Camaron Rebosado. But, we loved this not for the batter but for the really soft and juicy shrimp under the delicious salted egg coating. Mind you, this is quite addictive!
Meat
| Szechuan Sliced Pork |
Though the Crabs and Shrimps on their own could be the main reason for availing of the Unlimited Szechuan Experience, the Meats are also not to be missed! You can really savor the authentic spiciness of Szechuan as the dishes have a hint of chili oil.
| ♥ Szechuan Pork Intestine |
| Szechuan Duck Breast |
| Crab Rice |
Ala Carte
| Seafood Combo Platter |
Drinks
| Templo Signature Milk Tea (115 php) |
| Lick Iced Tea (138 php) and ♥ Lick Mango Juice (138 php) |
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Templo's Unlimited Szechuan Experience may not be as expansive in terms of other buffets within the same price range but you get really quality seafood! Templo does not even restrict you with any time limit so you can stay as much as you can and fill buckets full of seafood. So, yes! Give Templo a try and we encourage you do so with a prior reservation.

Last month, I had to photocopy some notes at Dapitan Street. It was a hot day so I decided to stop by for some milk tea at Cha Dao Tea Place.
It had a bulletin board field with comments from customer, posters and random ads for text mates and other things. It was pretty amusing to look at while waiting for your order. The place is air-conditioned so its a nice place to hang out. Since its nearby Univeristy of Sto. Tomas, its no surprise that most of its customers are students. Of course, I could tell based on their uniforms.

| Black Milk Tea L (50 php) |
Upon glancing on their menu, I was noticed that their pricing is adequate for students. I ordered a Black Milk Tea for only 50 php. I understand that everyone has their preference when it comes to milk tea. Their blending is recommendable for people who prefer their milk tea to be light. I sense more of the milk side than the tea side for this drink. I observe a lot of students coming in and out of the store happily sipping and loving their drinks. Sadly, it was not what I prefer. Next time, I'll order something else from them. What variant do you think would suit me?
They also give away T-shirts and other FREE items to they loyal customers and fans like this T-shirt. I love Assam so this statement shirt speaks my heart. I loved this "Assam is Awesome!" shirt because i could never have though of a better way to make assam sound so cool. =D
At the back of the shirt is Cha Dao Tea Place logo. If you want to get one of this, keep yourself updates with their contests and promos.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Cha Dao Tea Place is a great place to hang out because its cool, clean and cozy. Students are lucky to have an affordable place to hang out in. As low as 50 php, you can buy a cool cup of tea. At their price, even students can easily buy a cup or two. A cup of tea is a good caffeine boost for any lazy class day. It is also a good source of anti-oxydants. The staffs are also very friendly. They are very happy to serve and they attend to you in a quick manner. But since the space is quite limited, it might not be able to cater to all its customers during their peak hours so there's no choice but to take out.
