Due to it's location, it's been a while since H and I ate here. So we grabbed the chance to visit Golden Fortune again during one of our errand trips to Manila.
The Food Spread:
SEAFOOD HOFAN
As usual this dish didn't disappoint. The serving is ample and the amount of seafood they included in the dish is enough to make one's mouth water. This order is definitely good for more than one person.
FRIED OYSTER CAKE
I was a bit disappointed when I first saw our order. I thought to myself :"it's so small =("..well, it's not really that small but comparing it to other oyster cakes we've tried in the past..this is a bit smaller. BUT! Everything changed when i took my first bite *yum!*. The oysters are so fresh and meaty...you can almost smell the scent of the ocean with every bite =D. Traditionally, oyster cakes are served with hot sauce or ketchup for dipping but for the oyster cake served at Golden Fortune, we didn't bother to use the dipping sauces because we are able to enjoy more of the fresh oyster taste that way.
FRIED RADDISH CAKE
This is one of my favorite dimsums since I was a child. H liked it too when i first had him try it. We like Golden Fortune's version of this dimsum because of the generous amount of Chinese sausage they included in the cake which gives it a smokey aroma.
PORK SIOMAI
*excuse the two missing pieces of siomai in the picture...the smell of the freshly steamed dimsum is just too tempting to resist*...ho!ho!ho!
Going to a Chinese restaurant and not ordering siomai is like going to a Japanese restaurant and not ordering tempura...so we just gotta have it! We found the siomai a bit too oily...i guess they have to put enough pork fat so the meat won't get too dry during steaming. Except for the oiliness, their siomai tastes really good.
Overall, we are very happy with our meal. As with most Chinese cooking the dishes are a bit oily...that's why Chinese people drink tea with their meals to wash away the oiliness of the food. This is one restaurant we will continue going back to as long as they remain open =D. Aside from dimsum they also serve traditional Chinese dishes and shabu-shabu ( Hot Pot ).
