I am not familiar with Asian food but this family-owned restaurant is giving different options. It is so easy to fall in love with Filipino food. My favorite was the red velvet cake and the Stir Fry Szechuan Noodles.

The ambience is homey! Tho I could not eat rice and meat when I went there, but they still served freshly-cooked veggies. I will surely try their best-selling ostrich steak on my next visit! Thanks for the nice experience!

Food is okay, as expected for a buffet. But really - i love their idea of having pool. Best for kids, they can swim while parents can eat. Just sulit! I would reco!
