A Chinese restaurant located in Shangri-La. We had lunch there before checking in.
[Environment] The decoration is still very exquisite, red Chinese style. There is a large round table in the private room.
[Service]
We ordered a plate of XO sauce fried rice, which was too spicy for the kids. After we made suggestions, we got a plate of egg fried rice for free, which was worth the 10% service charge.

The buffet dinner at Cowrie Cove was a delightful experience, featuring a variety of freshly grilled items and a cultural dance presentation that added a festive touch to the evening.

The Spanish ham pizza here is very good. The pizza is made into a rectangular shape and is the thin and crispy type. The red wine inside is also good. A bottle is not expensive. It is imported from France, Bordeaux red wine.

The dinner buffet offers a good selection of dishes, and while the price is a bit on the higher side, the quality of the food makes it worth it.

Despite some mixed reviews, I found the food to be on par with average Japanese standards. The beef bowl and soy sauce ramen were particularly tasty, and the service was efficient.

Living in Shangri-La, it is really far from the city center. Anyway, I only stayed for one night, so I chose the closest one. Opposite the St. Regis, Shangri-La is a 10-minute walk.
[Environment] A simply decorated restaurant, no sea view.
[Service] Pad ordering, only cash accepted.
I can&#39;t help but complain about the Philippines. 10 years ago, I paid in cash when I went to Boracay, and now in 2020, the stores are still mainly cash-based. It made me withdraw cash twice during this trip!
I didn&#39;t order any special oxtail soup, just these four dishes, which were average, and one meal was enough! The only thing that impressed me was that the coconut was so big.

位于香格里拉的中餐厅，入住前去吃了一顿午餐。【环境】装修得还是很精致的，红色中国风。包厢有大圆桌。【服务】点了一份XO酱炒饭，辣得小孩受不了，提了意见以后，免费送了一份蛋炒饭，还算对得起这10%的服务费。

The tall coconut palms at Shangri-La Mactan stretch higher as early spring unfolds. New fronds emerge from the top of the trees, their bright green leaves contrasting with the older, deeper shades below. The sound of the palm fronds rustling in the wind creates a steady, calming rhythm. Sunlight reflects off the surface of the ocean, casting soft highlights on the swaying fronds. The sight of young coconuts forming at the base of the leaves adds a sense of life and renewal. The palms’ steady growth reflects the slow but sure arrival of spring.
