It is a fusion restaurant located 5 minutes by car from New Town^^ Lobster, steak, pasta, pizza, and a variety of seafood, You can taste the local cuisine of the Philippines according to your taste. Gold's manager is fluent in Chinese and has a Korean manager.
Not far from the city center, convenient transportation, very suitable for dinner parties

Salty & fresh. Full of expectations, slightly disappointed. Each ingredient is fresh and delicate, but the combination does not surprise the taste buds. The Snow Egg in Figure 7 is just OK. The Petit Four chocolate is delicious. 🍴: 3 hours.

I wanted to try something different and the special mixed meat plate satisfied my expectations. They offer a mixed grill plate with zebra, ostrich, crocodile and antelope.
