Artichoke Adobo

Psalmi Deo Chorale

Is the title clear enough? This was a disappointing experience to say the least. Now, so many months after the incident, I still feel it is my moral obligation to write about it. So here goes…

West Lake Restaurant is a restaurantized version of the West Lake dimsum spots you see in and around the more popular malls. Like its smaller counterparts, West Lake Restaurant serves a variety of dimsum, dumplings and noodles prepared in the traditional hong kong way. It is located in the middle of Eastwood City Walk, near “Cable Car” and “Heaven & Eggs”.

The Controversial Emp Platter

Sezchuan Eggplant

Shark’s Fin Noodles

That’s the extent of the unbiased stuff I’ll be posting. In fairness they did have good Mami. The rice meals were okay too. Still, the service sucked so much I felt like storming out at various points. It was bad enough that they served each of our orders about 15 minutes apart which created problems. Forgivable, though. I’m not one to knock someone’s teeth out over cold food. What irked me, though, was how they got so many of our orders wrong, worse of which was how they served Andrew an “Emperor’s Platter” (180 Pesos) instead of what he ordered which was “Century Egg Platter” (45 Pesos). We learned about the mishap only after we ordered a second platter and saw the difference. They then forced Andrew to pay up even if it was their big mistake.

Anyway, it’s been a while but I had to write this. Enjoy the pix.
