Carmina has family visiting the Philippines and the first thing we would always ask where you would like to eat. Since we are ten decided to have lunch at Gloria Maris located at Greenhill's Shopping Center. The place was busy for the dine in but if you enter inside where they serve dim sum there will be vacant seats available which they serve the same food. We started off eating hakaw, siomai, tofu silk rolls and xiao long bao. We also had some shrimp wonton noodle soup for sharing requesting to have some bowls for everyone who wanted to have a serving. Main course meal started off with garlic chicken, polochan with garlic, salt and pepper prawns and shrimp fried rice. Family picture with everyone there are two who doesn't want to be discovered. We had a lot of leftovers packed up for us to eat for our dinner being full no more room for dessert. NOT SPONSORED. Subscribe @ Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel a place to look, discover and share.
