An Almost Perfect Night at Golden Bay Restaurant

Remember this post last year about Golden Bay Restaurant's 50% promo on all Dimsum which I felt so bad not sharing with you sooner? Well, I am delighted to tell you that its back!

We were driving along Macapagal Avenue when I saw 50% discount and the words DIMSUM in the streamer just above Golden Bay's gate. So the following day, I told DB about it and he agreed to have a Dimsum feast as our early dinner.

I asked for the Dimsum menu as soon as we were seated and immediately returned the ala carte heavy-as-an-encyclopedia-hard-bound menu to the waitress as I am sensing DB's disapproval since I can't stop looking at the live lobsters in the aquarium. It had at least 60+ items ready to fill in your hungry tummy.

While we were waiting for our orders, the waitress gave us this sweet and spicy peanuts which I liked very much! DB was teaching me how to do it at home but I was so busy munching it I never understood a thing he said. I can multitask most of the time but never when eating. Its a ME thing.

We finished a plateful of these yummy peanuts just in time when the waiter arrived pushing a trolley with all our orders on it!

Chilled Pig Knuckles - Php72.50

Spare Ribs Taosi - Php64.00

Siao Long Pao - Php66.00

Malay Cake - Php64.00

Asado Rice Roll - Php69.00

XO Radish Cake - Php72.50

LOTS of XO sauce!

Glutinous Rice with Chicken (Sticky Rice) - Php64.00

Everything was delicious that we barely spoke until we were both satisfied and full. I especially liked the Siao Long Pao and the Spare Ribs Toasi that I had to order another round of both! DB insisted we order dessert so I asked the waitress for the Dimsum menu for the third time. There were only 4 items listed on the dessert section, one was out stock and I wanted to try something new aside from the usual Mango Pudding so we had these.

Sweet Green Beans - Php69.00

Sweet Glutinous Pearls - Php72.50

And boy, oh boy, it was the worst dessert we had in a long time! My Sweet Glutinous Pearls tasted like rotten paste, well I haven't actually eaten rotten paste before this but that was what came to mind when I first tasted it. DB's Sweet Green Beans was no better either! It was the first time I saw him really upset over dessert and literally spit the food out of his mouth (I apologize for being too graphic but I wanted to give you an idea just how bad it was!).

The promo is still on-going and I highly recommend you to go and try to eat as many Dimsum as you can. Just stay away from the desserts and I assure you that you're in for a treat!

Dimsum Night at Golden Bay Restaurant

It was a crazy day at work. It was already 5pm and I still haven't had my lunch yet. Good thing Golden Bay Restaurant is near, which fortunately for us, offers 50% off promo on all their dimsum for both lunch and dinner time!

Browsing thru the 80 plus dim sum menu!

Roast Chicken and Duck

Mantis Prawns are placed in separate bottles so they won't kill each other

No smoking area

Here's what we ordered

A plate of boiled peanuts was free and refillable

Shrimp Hakaw -- So delicious, so flavorful and so filling!

Crystal Spinach Dumpling -- My favorite from all our orders, I never knew spinach could be so yummy!

Malay Cake -- Moist cake dessert in between dumplings and rice rolls

Seafood Salad -- Too much mayonnaise

Radish Cake -- Best eaten hot so the oil won't be too overwhelming

Taro Puff -- Surprisingly good!

Steamed Rice Roll

Spare ribs -- A little more spice and flavor would be nice

Mango Pudding -- Not too sweet and blended with mango tidbits just the way I like it

Promo was until the 30th of September only, I apologize for not sharing this sooner. But hey, paying for the whole price isn't such a bad idea since the prices range between Php120 - Php180 only.
