We ordered the set menu D for lunch. Dish 1 assorted meat combination: jelly fish was too spicy and too big slices, honey work was not tender and too big slices, century egg was too dryDish 2 (arrive after 20 minutes wait) steamed suahe: no complain here except that the portion was quite small for 12 paxDish 3 Fish lip soup: not too tasty and not much fish lipDish 4 Braised sea cucumber and black mushroom: only few cucumbers, few black mushroom mostly flat and not plump, plenty of pig tendons which was not supposed to be part of the dish (1st time I’ve encountered this), the dish looked a little orange when it is actually supposed to look brownish as it is supposed to be sauteed in oyster sauce. Took this up with the manager and he pointed at the cooks for this and said he’d talk to themDish 5 Stuffed scallop lotus seed chicken: could not find nor taste the scallopDish 6 Steamed lapulapu: the meat was not as tender as it normally should beDish 7 Steamed crab garlic sauce: we complained that the crabs had a foul smell and complained to the waiter. The waiter came back and told us the manager said it was due to the garlic sauce. And I thought that garlic is used to remove any foul smell of foodDish 8 Birthday noodles: the only thing in this dish that gave a semblance of a birthday was the quail eggs. Other than this, there was hardly any other ingredient apart from the noodles. Any pancit canton from Little Quiapo or Amber would have tasted betterDish 9 Mango sago: too little mango and too much syrupDish 10 Buchi: this looked good outside but inside was hollowUpon billing, there was no adjustment for my complaintsfor dish 4 and 7. I was offered a waiver of 10% service charge if I paid in cash. I took the offer and vowed never to eat here ever again. BLACKLISTED.

it is a tradition for my family during new years day to eat out for either lunch or dinner in a restaurant. in most recent years, Oriental Palace has been the go to restaurant. delicious dishes and courteous service (well, it varies)what's unique from the get go is that it serves Japanese food while maintaining its Chinese cuisine in the following dishes.a highlight for me was the scallop in sweet and sour sauce, topped with a mango. that was a delicious bite!pancit was good and i ended up having 2 bowls, paired with XO sauce.definitely would come back here (as if i have a choice!).
