CAUSEWAY: Dimsum Heaven

If you want authentic Chinese cuisine, especially traditional (and needless to say, yummy) dimsum, at affordable prices, Causeway is the way to go. They offer a wide variety of dimsum: pork siomai, sharksfin, shrimp hakao, kuchay dumpling, asado siopao, chicken feet, spareribs, fish head, and many more. What's great about this restaurant is they have a dimsum cart that goes from table to table so the customers would just get what they want to eat right then and there. You might think this roving dimsum cart will increase your bill to be paid as you just eat continuously, but it is rather the opposite. Causeway's dimsum are so affordable you can eat 2 whole stacks of dimsum trays and just pay below 500php. If you think that's quite cheap already, that's still not the end of it. Each branch has a dimsum promo during their off peak hours wherein they lower dimsum prices by as low as 30php (Talk about AUTHENTIC and CHEAP Chinese dimsum). The Libis branch offers the promo from 9pm until closing time while the Timog branch offers the promo from 2pm to 6pm. We're just not sure about the Banawe branch but we've asked some waiters and they say that they offer the promo at the Banawe branch the same time as the Libis branch. For viands and rices, you have to order them from the waiter and wait for about 10-15 minutes. They offer the normal sweet and sour fish and Yang Chow fried rice to the eccentric sauteed ostrich meat. You basically can get everything authentic in this restaurant.

What we ordered:
Seafood Fried Rice, 2 bowls of plain congee, 4 trays of chicken feet, 2 trays of spareribs, 1 tray of hakao, 1 tray of siomai, and lots and lots of water and Chinese tea hahahaha


All of those for 740php only. Amazing, right? :) (The rice actually cost around 200php. So, yes the dimsum is absolutely cheap hahahaha - Glutton Guy)

Glutton Guy: Since I'm part Chinese, I have been a fan of Chinese food (Well, who doesn't, right?). But when my family and I think of good spareribs, soft and easy to eat chicken feet, and delicious hakao and siomai, Causeway would be at the top of our list. What I like best are the spareribs and the chicken feet. Basically, all their dimsum are tender and easy to eat. They're flavored really well and you'll never regret ordering almost anything from that cart of theirs. It'll leave you with a bulging stomach, a satisfied appetite, and a craving that will keep you coming back for more. : )
Glutton Girl: I love Causeway. My family and I have been going there since I was in college, and what we usually do is we just order plain congee and plain rice, and finish the whole dimsum cart. Haha! It is that affordable. I especially love their chicken feet, of which I can finsih about 4 trays, all by myself. (Yes, Glutton Girl indeed. Haha!) What I also like about Causeway is they give on-the-house tea, which is very essential to eliminate that bloated feeling after eating so much (delicious) Chinese food.
