I was really craving for Asian food, so I invited some of my colleagues to try the new restaurant in Venice Piazza, McKinley Hill.
Welcoming through the very same people that
brought you Binondo’s Ha Yuans, these are definitely antique dishes right from
restaurateur Suzy Lee’s Angkong and Amah. With the help of some innovative gastronomy
that could stand together with the trusty Chinese recipes of old, Spring by Ha Yuan.
Poached Dumplings
A bite of Spring by Ha Yuan's Poached dumplings simply flashed "AUTHENTIC" right in front of me. It was actually better than the one I've tasted in Binondo and even in Hong Kong! All ingredients were fresh, and you can actually cut it using a fork which is a sign of a perfectly cooked dumpling.
Taiwanese Chicken Chop Rice
Black Bean Spareribs Rice
Soy Chicken Mushroom Misua
I really enjoyed the Soy Chicken Mushroom Misua. The chicken was quite flavorful as well as the soup itself. It was a perfect treat and as I expected, it did not disappoint.
Piggy Red Bean Pao
We've also tried the Piggy Red Bean Pao. It was really an eye catcher based on the picture on their menu. My first comment when it was served was -- "The picture was way better than the actual presentation". The dessert itself was more on PAO than the RED BEAN (80% Man Tao and 20% Red Bean).
Overall, the dining experience was an average, bit, I have no issues going back to this place.

"Lab-as" is a Visayan term for fresh, used in terms of fish and other seafood, so it comes as no surprise that the menu here is mostly seafood.
Lab-as is located at one of the most popular location in Dumaguete; The Rizal Boulevard. With its wooden interior, live music played by a pianist and delicious food, you're surely in for a treat!
Dumaguete Express
Kinilaw
Grilled Squid
Pinakbet
I really love their Pinakbet and Dumaguete Express. Dumaguete Express consists of fresh seafood (lapu-lapu, mussels, shrimps and squid) cooked in a spicy coconut sauce. It was the hands-down favorite that night. I'm not really a fan of Kinilaw so it would be unfair if i have to judge it based on its taste, However, its presentation was the bomb!
Lab-as Shanghai Rice
Sizzling Tuna Belly
What I love the most about Lab-as is their special Shanghai Rice. I must say, "KANIN PA LANG ULAM NA".
Lab-as Restaurant really showed us what Filipino Hospitality is. Once you've entered the place, you'll feel welcomed and it's like ordering food inside your own home. The Food does not disappoint but you really have to be patient as the food takes a while to be served.
Overall rating would be A+. Good Food, Excellent Service, Live music. What else can i ask for?

You've never been to Dumaguete if you haven't tried the heavenly desserts from Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries.
Located in the heart of Dumaguete City. Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries is slowly making its way as the country's best maker of Sans Rival and Silvanas. Aside from their famous delicacy, they also serve food like cupcakes, bread, pasta etc. It’s great place to chill and hang out with friends.
Blue Berry Cheese Cake
Salted Caramel Cheesecake
Lemon Cheesecake
Silvanas is a crunchy, creamy, frozen cookie made up of a layer of buttercream sandwiched between two cashew-meringue wafers, and coated with cookie crumbs. Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries' Silvanas are known for their two different flavors; Original (Regular Buttercream) and Chocolate.
Sans Rival's Famous Buttercream Silvanas
When taking it back home from a Dumaguete trip, I suggest to make these your last stop before you head to the airport. These treats can last about 5 hours before needing refrigeration. But once you get back home, it's best to chill it for a while, then take them out to enjoy.
Iced Mocha
Iced Caramel Coffee
Of course when you are already in Dumaguete City,get a chance to take at least a bite of their Sans Rival while having a sip of their cool cup of iced coffee or your favorite drink.
