The Phoenix Court in Bellevue is a fancy restaurant in the heart of Alabang's Business district. It's actually my second time there and the experience remains the same - excellent!
Once you step inside the Phoenix court, you will be greeted by female food attendants dresses in qipao- the traditional Chinese dress. You will be brought one of the many tables inside. We always choose the round table (not sure if there's a square) because we normally have lunch there as a team. It makes it easy for us to talk to each other while waiting for our food.
The food is something you'd normally find in m the menu of similarly-themed hotel restaurants. We had chicken fillet with almonds and walnuts, a seafood and egg platter, beef brocolli, fried chicken in caramel sauce, fried cuttlefish and sweet and sour pour. I've tasted all of these from different restaurant's and I can't say there's something special. They all taste the same.
The staff are always at your beck and call, ever ready to take additional order or refill your water goblet. There was one staff though who spoke to our bossin the vernacular when he knew my boss who was with us that day is Chinese!
So is it worth the price? Sadly no. You're better off eating somewhere because the food at the Phoenix Court is nothing to write about. I guess if you're in the area and is looking for a place big enough to treat a huge group, this here is perfect. read more
