Cupid's Menu by Cebu Quest Hotel for Valentine's Dinner

 This is their 5 course meal, for valentines day dinner. The place is beside the pool and on the 7th floor and open air, so its was nice. A saxophone performace for the night to serenade the dinners, which was fitting. The tables are not well lit, only 1 tea candle for the table, which was romantic until the food was served. The tea candle just wont do it, you barely see the food, you can enjoy with your eyes lol. Plus the pool top lightswere on and as you watch the sax performance it hits you eyes and when you look back to your food, you know what i mean.

Appetizer, Smoked Duck Breast, i like the concept with introducing the spicy chocolate soil. The combination is perfect. The serving was just too small. Perhaps fine dining, then well ok.

Seafood Consomme, this is one of the best soup ive tried.

Their salad, with seared scallop. I like what the chef did with the ube dressing. A good combo!, Again its fine dining, but come on, you cant call that a salad, and 1 piece seared scallop.

Beef Medallion, now can you see it? you cant, its in a bowl, and the tea candle just can do it. The serving here is is ok i mean acceptable for a fine dining. It wont fill you if your expecting to be full like a usual dinner. The beef as expected done corretly, i mean its a medallion expected to be soft.

The Sea Bass Risotto is good, the fish done right as well as the risotto, I forgot to take a photo but doesnt matter, you wont be able to see it anyways.

Both main course was like guest what have on your spoon, its like oh its the caramelize onions, you know what i mean but not seeing your food.

 Perhaps the chef should look into this also, I mean the food is good but the guess cant even enjoy the plating. You taste with your eyes first.

Dessert, beetroot chocolate soil combo! Well sweets are sweets and some are damn good and this is one!

I like their food, the introduction of cholate to the dishes is not the usual here and its a good experience. Something new to the palate to taste and experience. The serving size for the salad perhaps they can look into it. And most of all the lighting! i can emphasize this more, you cant fully appreciate the plating of meals because of the low lighting condition, and specially the main course seens they are in a bowl.

Will visit them for their buffet!
