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.

| 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.

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.

| ♥ 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.

| 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.

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?

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.

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.

Xin Tian Di: Satisfactory Chinese Dining (Crowne Plaza Hotel Ortigas)
Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines
Perhaps, it's because we're from Manila so we've never heard of Xin Tian Di until they had a discount for BDO card holders (Thanks Achi Rowena of Animetric.Net for the tip!)
One random weekend, we reserved a table just to try it out.
It is a bit more modern the traditional Chinese restaurant. It has tea displays.
And, there's a cold cut station and a chiller of fruits.
I initially thought that the dining area was small...
that was before we were ushered to the function room which I'm guessing is allocated for those who will avail of the discount.
Being in the function room made it difficult to call the attention of the staffs. Good thing Kate was kind enough to be attentive to us. We are almost invisible to the other servers.
Food
Barbecue Corner
Clear Soup
Thick Soup
Live Seafood
The Steamed Cod with Wild Mushrooms is not on the menu. It was suggested by Kate which we approved. Indeed, it is a must try! It's the highlight of our meal.
Southern and Northern Cuisine
Pork
Beancurd and Vegetables
The Beancurd and Scallop in Celery Sauce is also not on the menu but suggested. This is the first time I've encountered such a dish and we loved it!
Rice
Dessert
Don't let the appearance of the Ampalaya Buchi fool you. It actually contained melted dark chocolate inside. We enjoyed it so much we ordered one for each!
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Xin Tian Di just needs to work on their marketing because the food here is really good. The pricing is also reasonable yet I hardly encounter any Chinese occasion being celebrated here.
