Tea of Spring at Shangri-la Mactan

This chinese restaurant across Tides is unbelievably value for money. The menu of Tea of Spring is not as exquisite as Shang Palace in Makati Shangri-la, but you will be getting more than your money's worth. The taste of food is about average, nothing to talk at home about, but service is fantastic as usual. We were shocked when we received our bill since it was unbelievably cheap. We ended up at P300.00 (USD6.80) nett per head for lunch, cheaper than dining in mid-range restaurants in malls. We went here with half of our stomachs full due to breakfast buffet so it was a light lunch. If you're hungry, prepare to spend about P500.00 to P600.00 (USD12.00 to USD14.00) nett per head which I think is very reasonable taking into consideration you are dining in a 5 star hotel.

Planning to head outside of Shangri-la Mactan for lunch or dinner? Think again. You will be surprised that the restaurants within the resort offers more value for money than you think. :)
