If you're lookin for a classy dining Steak Dinner with your date, bring her/him here. The Tagaytay view is just remarkable! The entire place like a compound of restaurants here have a good taste and has really kept this place neat and beautiful. I am really in awe and wondering why my family haven't gone to this place even for once.Owner and Chef Paul Huang gave us a warm welcome and a delicious sample of their best selling soup, steak anf dessert.PUMPKIN SOUP hot orange soup with pumkin flavor. It's thick and perfect to warm your throat on a cold windy Tagaytay weather.AUSTRALIAN SIRLOIN with Red wine shallot sauce, silky mashed potato and veggies. It is cooked medium rare, still moist and tender and every bite is indeed pleasurable.Malibu poached pineapple carpaccio withCandied Brandy basket and coconut ice cream!!!!!!I am very very delighted with this dessert. It is home made and eating it with a little bit of everything is the secret.Thank you so much! This is my first time here in this side of tagaytay and I'm glad I discovered it along with my website peeps. 😊

Remarkable Birthday ExperienceCelebrated my birthday last November 22 here. Booked a reservation in less than 10 mins through their online chat support. Their customer service is one of a kind. I had to reschedule 30 mins prior my booking reservation and surprisingly received confirmation within 5 mins (yes, it was that quick and it's very seldom to get a quick response on such short notice). In terms of the dining experience, this place is really commendable considering the pandemic risk. The tables were socially distanced and we even saw how the place were diligently disinfected before we left. It isn't your usual buffet experience because the food will be served to you as you request it. Moreover, the variety of foods from the menu almost complements each other - from steamed to deep fried, savory to sweet. The taste is so unique! I would even remember the first bite of how shrimp and mango complements each other for a savory taste. My favorites go with the dishes mixed with szechuan sauce. And don't forget to try all the desserts!! Do experiment mixing a bit of the dishes, and you'll definitely get a new taste! We were even shocked with the complimentary birthday cake served, I really liked dark chocolate and the flavor of the cake was also unique for a dark chocolate lover like me, esp when combined with their tea (you can order them for an additional fee!). Lastly, I would say that the experience won't be remarkable without the friendly ates and kuyas serving the dishes to us. I would often laugh at my repetitive orders and they'll laugh with us as if we made new friends (it's good that we can know their first names). Thank you Kuya Rogelio, Ate Justine and Ate Rose for making my birthday experience here memorable! Certainly coming back!
