After visiting a few other real estate properties, we finally wound up in the Waterfront Hotel in the Lahug area. I invited my friends to dinner at the Tin Gow Chinese restaurant, which serves Cantonese, Szechuan and Malaysian-Chinese styles of cooking. Exhausted as we were, the good food and the charming & authentic ambiance made our night--
We started off with an assortment of cold cuts, and went on to have some thick fish lip soup. We ordered a couple of dimsum baskets, and went on an assortment of viands. We had beef ho fan, spicy pork cubes, crunchy squid, sea cucumber with snow fungus and broccoli, and sizzling beef. With the flat noodles, no one asked for rice anymore, as we already had enough carbohydrates! The meal came up to around P1,000 per head, which was a bit on the high side, bu then again, the food was quite good.
I was told that Tin Gow was a Chinese gambling game involving dominoes, and this was probably an apt name for the restaurant, as the hotel houses the largest casino in Cebu.
