Lili Chinese Restaurant, Hyatt Hotel and Casino - Food, Glorious Food!!! =)

I'm starting this post with something that caught my attention in the menu. It says Double-boiled Supreme Bird's Nest with Rock Sugar Php 5,888. I have tried Bird's Nest soup before but it never occurred to me that it will taste good as a dessert. Hmmm... Well I guess it will because it doesn't really have a taste or is rather flat. I must be very ignorant. x) LOL! 

Thank goodness we were able to get a table this time! As we walked in the server greeted us and said, "Welcome back!" Plus points for the friendly warm greeting, their service commendable, as always. 

Hot Tea with Guava Ice Tea. xD Both mine and both loved to bits!

Suckling Pig!

Note: I order suckling pig at all Chinese Restos all the time. If I don't order it I will order Peking Duck or something very flavorful and highly fattening... 

Steamed Pink Garoupa(Lapu-lapu) in Soy sauce. 

I actually prefer the usual lapu-lapu over the pink one because, while the flesh/meat was very tender and soft it still was a bit too fishy for my taste. The staff actually tried to help, and even offered to cook the fish again to no avail. I realized that the fish had a distinct taste that I did not like. 

Yangchow fried rice without shrimp as requested. 

Beef Tenderloin with little golden puffs that have pineapple inside! :D 

Dessert is being prepared. :)

Mango Pudding! :3

Yum~yum!

As with all the other food posts that I have done, I will state that this is not a very budget friendly location. However, I think they offer buffets that cost around 700++Php. The taste of the food is top notch and I will always come back as long as my parents feed me for free pay. If you're willing to splurge for Chinese food that comes in a nice place with amazing service I would highly reommend Lili!

Tao Yuan, Manila + Dessert in Hyatt - Food, glorious food!

Is my blog turning into a food blog? O_o 

It's been a lot easier to take pictures since I got a new phone so I guess I will be making more food posts. I am usually too lazy to bring a camera when I go out so please bear with my laziness. ^_^

Tao Yuan is a popular destination among foodies here, and is said to serve the best "Singaporean food" in Manila. I wondered if it was true? Keeping in mind that some places are just overrated. We tried to go here twice but couldn't find any parking so we deemed best to go there before 6PM.

Complimentary appetizer.

Soup. 

FOOD!!! Glorious food. Mwuahahahaha! x)

Hainanese Chicken

Lechon Macau.

Green Beans with Tofu and Pork

Yang Chow Fried rice.

Steamed Lapu-lapu with soy sauce.

The first picture is the whole fish and the 2nd one is a picture of the fish deboned. :)

Complimentary Dessert - Almond Jelly with fruit cocktail.

The servers are very attentive and friendly. They are also knowledgeable about the food on their menu. Don't you just hate it when you ask a server something and he looks as clueless as you did on your first day of school? 

The place easily gets crowded so it is best to make reservations. I loved the hainanese chicken and lechon macau! Yes, I can be very picky with food sometimes, especially when I am expecting the food to be great, the place/resto needs to live up and this one did!

We didn't order chili crabs because of my terrible allergy to crustaceans. 

They are also very generous and give complimentary appetizer and dessert but let me warn you that the prices  aren't that budget friendly. I still think it's worth it though..

We also had dessert at Hyatt, Manila.

Tiramisu.

Mango Pavlova and Coffee.

I like their coffee. It reminds me of Lavazza. :3 For someone who is also allergic to mangoes, I still tend to eat a lot of it. :P 

My sister didn't like the tiramisu. She said it tasted like skim milk. O_o I cannot comment on the taste of the mango pavlova because it seemed just sweet and a bit too flat to me, but I am attributing it to my cold. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend! =)
