Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
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.
