MANILA: Gloriamaris Greenhills Restaurant: What to Order
Our favorite Chinese restaurant in Manila is Gloriamaris Greenhills restaurant. They serve very good quality Chinese food but it's a bit expensive. So we go there only on special occasions, or when there's a 50% off promo from credit cards.
Usually, the 50% discount only covers the food bill including VAT (value added tax), and doesn't cover drinks and service charge. But that's already a lot. Our food bill for what we ordered (shown below) amounted to only a little less than 5000 pesos, when it should have been a little less than 9000 pesos.
We usually reserve our seats at the fine dining section so we can also order from the dimsum and hotpot menu, aside from ordering from the fine dining menu.
These are the iconic dishes we ordered.
Sautéed Sweet and sour pork (Medium, 990 pesos) |
Hot Prawn Salad (Medium - 1630 pesos) Note: They used real prawns and not shrimps like other smaller restaurants do) |
Peking Duck whole served 2 ways
(3,600 pesos)
Hakaw (198 pesos) Their Hakaw is really great. Instead of just one shrimp, they put 2 shrimps inside the dumpling |
Ma Po Tofu (Small - 600 pesos) We usually request very spicy Ma Po Tofu. |
THE PRICE LIST FOR WHAT WE ORDERED
(Note: the small size plate is usually good for 5-6 persons)
