We recently visited the North Park Chinese Restaurant, Market
Market branch in Taguig City.

We had the usual pork siomai dimsum, as well as the beef
and brocolli. I forgot what the fried rice with sauce was
called (a variation of Yang Chow fried rice?), and we all
agreed that it was yummy. We requested that the sauce be
put in a separate bowl, since not everyone was fond of "saucy"
rice. The sweet and sour pork, and fried canton noodles
were scrumptious. It was also the first time I tried the
salted spare ribs, and I loved its perfect crunchiness,
and right amount of saltiness. The hot tea was nice to have,
while we wait for the food to arrive.

The service was prompt and friendly, as with the other North
Park restos we've gone to. The service staff were happy
to accomodate customer requests (such as the separation
of the sauce from the fried rice), and most approach you
with a smile on their faces. High chairs for toddlers were
readily available, and the waiter even had the initiative
to offer the high chairs as we arrived at the table.

Overall, my family and I had a great experience at this
North Park branch, and will certainly be one of our favorite
places to have some chinese food in the Taguig City area.

My family, together with my brother's family, recently had
dinner at Causeway Seafood Restaurant in Libis, Quezon City.
There was a well-lighted basement carpark area, so parking
your car won't be much of a problem. The entrance alerts
cutomers with a sign that pets are not allowed inside the
restaurant. I noticed that there is one table near the front
door outside the restaurant, so this could probably be used
in case Rover or Kitty is with you.

The resto had a nice cozy ambiance, and friendly staff who
readily greet you as you enter. There are different kinds
of tables you can choose from, such as round (with lazy
susan), rectangle, and square. And yes, high-chairs for
toddlers are available.

We love dimsum, so we were happy to see that they have a
dimsum cart. The cart lets you see the various kinds of
dimsum available, and encourages you to try and explore
more. We got the usual bola-bola and asado siopaos, as well
as pork and shark's fin siomais. We also found the spare
ribs, crab roe siomai, veggie & shrimp dumplings (kichai?),
stuffed egg roll of meat & tofu, and other dimsum delights.
I loved their radish cakes, as well as the stir fried noodles
with meat & veggies on thick sauce.

We definitely had a great time (and satisfied stomach!)
at Causeway Seafood Restaurant. We would surely have Causeway
on top of the list whenever we crave for some Chinese food.

Annapolis Seafood House 1

My family had lunch with our relatives (my side) at a Chinese resto called Annapolis Seafood House. My son loved the crab sticks, and my wife found the the taro puffs to be good, although the sauce was a little too bland for our taste. For me, I enjoyed the roast duck. I also loved the stuffed tikoy roll dessert.

I believe that the resto had a nice ambiance, with matching soft chinese music lingering in the background. My kiddo definitely appreciated the aquarium that featured numerous silver-colored fish and some spotted eels.

I'm not very happy with the service, though. I find the waiters to be quite discourteous, not even bothering to ask the customer if he/she is finished using the plate before picking it up. The waiters were also not careful in trying not to bump an eating customer when putting a new dish on the lazy susan. That's plain rudeness in my book.

Maybe we just caught the service staff on a bad day? I don't know. Unfortunately, this "bad day" does not speak highly for the total dining experience in this particular resto.
