It is located at G/L, The Terraces at Ayala Center Cebu,Cebu City. The restaurant really gives you a southeast asian culture ambiance with good exterior and interior design. The staffs are also uniformed wearing a dress inspired by the place of origin of their cuisines.
My friends deciding which to order because I didn't have any idea about Southeast Asian cuisines.
Since it's an international restaurant it's expected that the prices are quite expensive. The place looks elegant but still the nativity of its culture remains. It's well lit with well coordinated wooden tables and chairs. They are using banana leaves as plates which makes it more native. The fact that it is situated inside the famous Ayala Mall just know that it's really crowded during peak hours. I am giving you a heads up to just have a reservation for your seats.
WHAT WE GOT?
The foods are all worth the price. They are very unique in their own ways. We got the Tilapia fillet with Malayan cream sauce which costs 388.00 pesos(8.05 US Dollars), Malayan Chicken curry which for only 288.00 pesos(5.97 US Dollars), Beef rendang for 328.00 pesos(6.80 US Dollars) and the Thai Style fried rice with shrimp paste for 238.00 pesos (4.94 US Dollars) per platter.
The menu is really expensive but probably is already good for 2-3 people. If you want to try most of their dishes I recommend to bring your friends and split the bill. Anyways, they are all worth it.
That's basically it, if it happens that you have visited the place already, please care to share your experiences in the comment section below. Everyone's glad to hear the stories of yours! Just always remember that learning is a lifetime process. You can learn from your experiences, trips and from other people. The world is so vast. Explore and Learn!
