One Sunday (months ago), Papa and I were aimlessly walking around SM City Cebu after Sunday service when we discovered that Cebu now has a branch of the famous Mandarin Tea Garden. I was able to sample their food in Davao when I went to that city for a dear friend’s wedding. And I personally thought their menu with those “no pork” signs was quite adorable. Their food wasn’t bad either. I remember I ate so much at that time. 
And since my Papa loves Chinese food as well, it wasn’t so difficult to convince him to sample their food.
We had…
Mixed Vegetables [Rating: 9/10]
Siomai [Papa's Rating: 8/10]
Fish Curry [Rating: 8/10]
Shark Fin Dumplings [Rating: 9/10]… It had pork but I sampled one anyway. 
I can’t remember the specific prices of these dishes.
But if I remember correctly, I think they were less than a hundred pesos each.
Mànmàn chī, everyone!

My mom loves Chinese food (and does a lot of things the Chinese-way even though she is very far from being a Chinese herself). I have been constantly thinking of taking her to this restaurant, but every time I pass by the place, I end up not getting in thinking it would be too expensive. After reading your post though, I will be going there when my mom comes to the city for a visit. I’m quite confident I can afford that less-than-a-hundred-bucks-each dishes. Nice post!
By the way, can we exchange links?
