This is my first time to try a traditional Chinese banquet and I am impressed by how festive and elegant this tradition is. This is also my first time in A Taste of Mandarin. I often see this resto when we are in Country Mall but have always hesitated to try bec of its stunning facade. It seems like the place is screaming "$$$" sign, but you know what? I realized that it's not that expensive considering the portions of the dishes they serve. I have a couple of favorites, like the Patatim, Prawn Salad and Pollonchai Soup. I can confidently say that the Patatim is the best patatim I have ever tried, by far. You guys should try it because it's really worth it. I am amazed by their Buddah Soup because it has all the top of the line ingredients that you can find. It felt like having soup with all the wonders of the world in it. I did not like it that much, because the taste is bursting with so much flavors, I couldn't get my mind to distinguish which is which. But I'm happy I was able to try it because it's something that I cannot eat everyday. I guess the lazy susan is ever present in a lauriat style setting and I like the idea of it. I remember my childhood days when my grandmother used to have lazy susan as well. It made dining really easy. Overall, the experience was fantastic. I went home with a full stomach and I kept blabbing about every dish I had to my friends. If you're up for something traditionally Chinese, try A Taste of mandarin. This place is best suited for bigger groups because their servings are big and good for sharing. It may be a bit pricey to average working class but there is always a time to splurge, once in a while. Right?

Started in 1997, A Taste of Mandarin was the first authentic Chinese Restaurant that came in Cebu with a Chinese chef as their head cook. Owned and operated by the Gaisano for almost three decades. Their Chinese-style cooking originated in Guangzhou which mainly features a sweat and subtle flavor.
