Oriental Hotel’s Flavours of
Asia
If my review of Oriental Hotel on the first time
we stayed there five years ago had gone from
bad to worst during our last stay in the hotel,
…one improvement that I have noticed
was the quality of food that they serve.
We dined at Oriental Hotel’s Flavours of Asia
located at the lobby, upon checking in at noontime,
and our room would not be available until 2 PM.
It was a beautiful restaurant but
was not attuned to its Asian theme.
The restaurant had and indoor.
…and outdoor dining areas, and the latter
offers an awesome view of Mayon Volcano.
We started our lunch with a classic Chinese Wanton Soup.
It was a complete soup with a delightful sesame aftertaste
and with generous amount of plump vegetable dumplings.
The Seafood Chopsuey was delicious and perfectly cooked.
The stir fried mixed vegetables were fresh, crunchy and not
soggy and mixed with an abundance of various fresh seafood.

What could have been as ordinary deep fried, breaded fish nuggets
was made extraordinary by having four different sauces as a side dish.
Sweet and sour sauce, oyster Sauce, chili sauce, and ginger sauce
made Four Harmony Fish so excitingly delectable as it is like

Sweet
and Sour Spareribs. It is a leaner version of the traditional
sweet and sour pork. The rib bones may cause a little inconvenience
compared to the otherwise boneless dish, but it was just as
delicious.
While’ majority of hotel guests may not be generous in reviewing the pricey,
yet poorly maintained facility- but with the delicious food that they serve
and the excellent service that they have in Flavours of Asia Restaurant,
…I believe it is the saving grace of
the otherwise forlorn Oriental Hotel.
