Tea of Spring, Shangri-La Mactan

There are two restaurants at the Shangri-La Mactan that we had been curious about and planned to eat at but haven't. This despite several stays at the hotel in the past years (of course, except 2020 and 2021 - the height of the Covid-19 pandemic). This time around, we decided to stay put at the hotel/resort so we were able to try one of the two.

Appetizers consisting of peanuts and pickles

Wok-fried Australian beef in Merlot

Black truffle fried rice with chicken


We also had some wonton noodle soup but our daughter already started eating it before I got a nice photo of the bowl.

The following day, we decided to have lunch there so we can try their dimsum.  Here are a few photos of the what we enjoyed for lunch:

Shiitake buns - these we thought were the most delightful with the buns shaped like shiitake mushrooms

Hakaw - steamed shrimp dumplings

Siomai or shu mai - steamed pork dumplings with fish roe toppings

Despite staying at the Shang for several days, we were not able to eat at the Cowrie Grill. At the time, there seemed to be events being held there or near there and we decided to stay away from the larger crowds. There should be another opportunity for that in the near future.
