Tea Of Spring At Shangri-la's Mactan Resort

Serving time was a bit long. took about 25minutes? but when the food arrived the quality and taste made up for impatience i already had (was really hungry). food is very good. serving is small but the recipe and just the right taste in each dish is lovely. salt and pepper spareribs was tender and crisp. diced black pepper beef was peppered just right. a bit pricey but every dish was given thought and preparation so you can't really complain.

So-so chinese food. Xo fried rice tasted like they used “old” rice. Serving took 30 mins and counting on a wednesday afternoon, 1:30pm. Making my review now cause the food is taking way too long. We just ordered 3 kinds of dimsum and 1 fried rice. They have very generous serving of xo sauce though. But i wouldnt come here for the chinese food.

In an effort not to leave the resort, my husband and I ate at most of the restaurants in Shang Mactan. Comfort is the name of the game. Tea of Spring is their Chinese restaurant and we ate a light lunch in between swimming. We actually only ordered the sweet and sour pork with pineapples and the Tea of Spring XO fried rice. Some of their dishes come in small or medium sizes. We got small for both the pork and the rice and we felt full enough after. It might be bitin for those who are really hungry though. We really liked both of the dishes we ordered the fried rice is highly recommended.

There are restaurants which make you feel like a king with your food and there are restaurants which make you feel like a king in all aspects. Tea of spring falls in the latter. Warm hospitality, great food, customised orders, you name it; they do it. Vegetarians will feel at ease at this place, non vegetarians have the whole menu to rejoice. Pro- tip: Don't miss the Jasmine tea. Angelie Lisa kudos to your amazing services. Hi -Fi from the little handsome boy

My family decided to have dinner here on our first night at the hotel. Indeed a Chinese restaurant since on entering the eatery, the interior designing architecture and decorations highly reflected the Chinese culture. And the menu offers the best of the Chinese cuisine. It was priced a bit higher than other Chinese restaurants we have eaten, but remembering that we were inside a 5 star hotel did compensate for the cost. But food taste was delicious too and loved the ambiance and services of the staff.
