Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino’s well regarded chinese restaurant, Tin Gow will usher in the Year of the Rooster on the eve of Chinese New Year also known as the Chinese Spring Festival happening this 27 January. A sumptuous menu prepared by well loved Chef Jimmy Low awaits families with three set dinner menu to chose from, all good for 10 persons.
We had the media preview last week with the Set Menu B (PHP11,888.00) served (please refer to names of the dishes in this post’s photos). It was my first to experience the traditional yee sang, also known as the prosperity toss, a colorful dish with strips of raw fish, in this case, salmon, together with colorful shredded vegetables and various condiments. Members toss this one and the higher you toss, the more prosperity and abundance is said to come your way. Check out the short video below.
The appetizers of spring rolls and siomai were just delicious while the deep fried garoupa with garlic sauce was savory. I loved the crunchy and thinly sliced sweet and sour pork. The stir fried Malaysian chicken is also commendable. The tofu with shrimp is also good! Although the tikoy was expected, crisp outside and soft inside, it was my first time to try ginseng and longan as a dessert. The tastes seem familiar but not bad.
The Chinese set dinner menu is also offered at Tin Gow from 21-27 January while tikoy in four flavors: pandan, almond, ube and regular is available at P210.
