Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Oriental Palace


What happens when you're favorite restaurant is decided to close down? 

You end up searching for a new Chinese restaurant until you has decided the place you will always have your family gathering.

A place to keep ordering until you've tried the complete menu of your favorite Chinese dishes.

We've decided to try Oriental Palace to see what our taste buds will like it or not.

A way to find out is order common food we always order from a Chinese restaurant to go on based whether it has approved us.

Prawn Hakaw PHP 188.00 ($2.98) four pieces


Sharksfin Dumpling PHP 148.00 ($2.98) four pieces


Roasted Pork Asado Small PHP 480.00 ($9.60)


Hot Prawn Salad Small PHP 680.00 ($13.60) comes with fruit salad with the prawns.


Assorted Meat Fried Noodles (Medium) PHP 630.00 ($12.60) the only problem is the sauce wasn't enough to fill up the noodles. There we're too many meat and vegetables than the sauce itself when mixing it together. Something Oriental Palace has to reconsider if someone else decides to order their Assorted Meat Fried Noodles through Grab Food being delivered at your home.



Yang Chow Fried Rice (Medium) PHP 630.00 ($12.60)


Yang Chow Fried Rice (Large) PHP 840.00 ($16.80)


Carmina is done trying Oriental Palace who knows we can see what other dishes to try next time around or try to dine in person when that time comes.

What I have notice sometimes the food taste really different from base on my own experience during our pandemic some restaurant has something lacking in their own dishes.

For sure that time comes I will let you know how my experience was from what I see when I can walk in and dine inside to feel my atmosphere being inside a Chinese restaurant.

Note:

Carmina is not selling or advertising Oriental Palace Restaurant just a place I decided to try off and try their food.
