Review of Majestic Restaurant in SM Seaside

We celebrated Judy's birthday at Majestic Restaurant in SM Seaside, Cebu City.  We are a loyal customer of this restaurant since time immemorial. We love the food, staffs are always friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is good. 

Today, we are going to give a review about this restaurant. When you enter the place, you'll be greeted with a cashier counter. There were staffs or staff who will greet you before you enter the place. It's a vibrant place with good view of the sea. 

They are offering Chinese Cantonese-Filipino dishes. They were able to maintain consistency and quality over the years. Majestic Restaurant never deteriorate. 

As to the price, it is just right. Everything you eat here is worth every penny spent. You  know that feeling when before and after eating you have that smile as a sign of satisfaction.

Let's go over the food that we ordered. 

Vegetables with Tofu in Oyster Sauce P 235.00

According to my Father, this is the most delicious vegetable dish from Majestic. I believe him because he tried all of them. I tried this dish too and it was indeed flavorful.

This is Green Seafood Soup at P215.00 per serving. It's egg drop soup with pureed Taiwan pechay, fish, shrimp, squid, mushrooms and tofu. It was our first time to try this soup. It was like Birds Nest soup but with a twist. We all love this soup. It was yummy.

Lechon Macau P275.00
Crispy roasted pork belly
Little boy finished 1 whole serving. We all love it. The green vegetable are fried bland Kangkong.

Mango Float P75.00
This dessert is one of our favorite. It was a bit different from the usual Mango Float. Though it was commercialized, it was still delectable.

Buko Pandan P68.00

Buko and Pandan jelly, fresh young coconut  strips in buko pandan cream. This dessert taste good too.

Minced Pork Lettuce Wraps @ P240.00

Stir-fried minced pork, mushrooms, water chestnuts, & chopped cashews on a bed of crispy rice noodles and served with lettuce cups. 

Our family's favorite. This dish is always always ordered every time we eat at Majestic. 

Majestic Fried Rice
BBQ Pork asado , ham, eggs, green peas and spring onions at P145 regular, P290 large. The rice was delish! But I hardly see any green peas though.

A birthday celebration is not complete without the Birthday Pancit (P205.00). Egg noodles with sliced pork, chicken, shrimp, squid, fish balls, fried fungus and vegetables  with red quail eggs. Delicious pancit!

We paid about P2,400+ for 5 hungry Adults and 2 kids :)

Leona's Bakeshop Review

Because Judy was craving for some cakes and it was her birthday too. She wanted to try the cakes from Leona's Bakeshop. 

I bought 12 slices of cake, 11 flavors. That makes a whole 9" cake. 

This is their cake display. 

12 slices, 11 flavors. We will let you know our top picks at the bottom of this post.

Great bonding time with our little girl. It was also her birthday.

We took a photo of each flavors that we bought and here they are.

Frosty Mint Delight @P46.00 per slice.

The flavor was indeed minty. We love the chocolate combination with the minty moist cake.

Japanese Cheesecake @P65.00 per slice

It was dense and we loved it so much.

Choco Fudge Cheesecake @P56.00 per slice

We did not try this yet. 

Tiramisu @P77.00 per slice

Little girl just love this cake. It was her favorite cake.

Mango Mambo @P38.00

This has egg pudding in the middle. We think the price is very affordable for this yummy cake.

 Chocolate Surprise @P50.00 per slice

We loved the taste of the chocolate. If I remember it right, this is like a combo of carrot and chocolate cake which was very delish!

The famous Red Velvet Cheesecake @P73.00 per slice

Though, we are not really a fan of red velvet but this cake did not fail. It was dense, moist and yummy. 

Oreo Cheesecake @P71.00 per slice

One of the go to flavor of little girl. Well, she got good taste. This cake was yummy too. 

Mango Cake @P35.00 per slice

We still have to try this in the future.

Guava Cake @P35.00 per slice

 I wonder what this cake taste like.

Moist Chocolate Cake @P73.00 per slice

This cake was yummy as well. 

Ube Cake @ P35 per slice

 Judy loves Ube Cake that's why I bought 2 slices. She said it was just so-so. 

Leona's Bakeshop should improve on this cake. 

Durian Cake @P43 per slice
We never tried Durian Cake before. This cake was superb. For all Durian lovers out there, you should try this cake.

Choco Mocha Mouse @P43 per slice

This was also yummy.

Family's Verdict: We love the cakes except the Ube Cake which was just too ordinary. We expected way better than what we have tasted. My wife got disappointed. Nevertheless, the rest of the cakes are worth your money. They are moist, dense and delicious.

Our favorite was the Durian and Japanese Cake. It was like you are eating the real Durian fruit minus the smell. Little girl's favorite was the Oreo Cheesecake and Tiramisu.

JPark Island Resort Review

JPark Island Resort was formerly known as Imperial Palace Water Resort and Spa. 

The hotel and pools were neat. We didn't had the chance to enjoy the beach so I cannot really give a comment about it. The staff were helpful, courteous and attentive.  The kids love the pools. I was in my early pregnancy of our third child so I was just chilling mostly at the kids pool area. Food tasted good. Also, it was our birthday and they gave us a complimentary cake. I was amazed at the size of the cake. It was big and yummy! 

There were a lot of Korean guests during our stay. But that didn't bother us at all. We also love the interior design and decors. The size of the room was spacious. We had a good night sleep. 

What we also love was that they have an indoor playground for the kids to play. We paid about P300 for an hour of play, if I recall it right. 

We only had breakfast and ordered some food from the pool bar. We went to Chicken and Beer for dinner which is just located across the road. 

We took a tour of the resort, please watch the video below. 

This is the indoor playground. It was spacious and clean as well.

The kids and adults were having fun with these floaters.

I spent my time under the tree. Enjoying the view while watching our kids. It was hot and humid during this time of the year.

See you again!

Bantayan Island Get-away - Anika Island Resort Review

Hi Friends,

We are going to share our get-away last December 2015 in Bantayan Island. We stayed in Anika Beach Resort for four days and 3 nights. We rented their cottage house facing the beach. It was a little bit pricey than the rooms near the gate but the view was worth your money.

We love Bantayan Island. Prestine waters, white sands, amazing fresh sea foods, friendly and nice people. It was amazing to be in Bantayan.

Anika had a very small playground for the kids to play. The rooms actually were mainly made of container van which was really amazing. A unique idea. The rooms were small but cozy and clean. I just love their bed and pillows. The bathroom was okay and the aircon too. The staffs were very friendly as well.

The restaurant offers great food and the price I think was fair enough. There was no room service so we had to go to the restaurant to eat. It would be nice if we can order from our room. Food tasted great too. I love that they have common cottage where you can just chill and relax.

Here are our photos of our Bantayan get-away. Enjoy!

This is the Pier.

Our room

Early morning Vitamin D. The wind was so refreshing.

Standing in front of the beach is like to talking to God intimately.

We also went to the town proper where the old church, plaza and gymnasium are located.

That's all for today. We hope that you enjoy our tour and review. Please don't forget to subscribe :)
