    Are you looking for a spacious restaurant for your wedding reception? or probably a good restaurant for birthday parties or your child’s christening or baptism. Check out Century Seafood Restaurant.

    Century Seafood Restaurant offers a wide variety of chinese food for your taste bud. Not just seafood as the name states. But basically all types of chinese food.

    Century seafood restaurant is part of Century Park Hotel which is owned by Mr. Lucio Tan.

    The restaurant has 2 huge function spaces and a couple of small function rooms for smaller events. If the 2 huge function rooms will not be enough for you, you can avail of the Century hotel function room which has a bigger space and add a few percentage on the table expense.

    One good thing about century seafood is its hotel ambiance. Carpeted floors, high ceiling and a clean and cold environment. Not to mention a free parking space across the street exclusive for century visitors.

    For those that are not familiar with chinese restaurant, usually the tables are round with a capacity of 12 people on each table. With a lazy susan at the center to turn the food around.

    Now, lets check some of the food they have, the taste and how they present it.

    cold cuts

    cold cuts

    For every 12 seater chinese restaurant round table package, the food usually starts with chinese cold cuts. This dish gives you a good introduction of the meal you are about to take. It includes century egg, pork asado, peking duck and seaweed at the center. This is one of my favorites, its best eaten with chili oil and or ginger sauce.

    wintermelon soup

    Dining at a chinese restaurant is not complete without a serving of soup. They have a variety of soup to choose from. This is the wintermelon soup. It has mushroom, winter melon and chicken pieces in it.  You can also try hot and sour soup, Fish Lip soup or Sharks Fin soup.

    birthday noodles

    This dish is the Birthday Noodle. Birthday noodles are usually served the last. It is to fill up the remaining empty spaces in your stomach to make sure you leave well stuffed. This dish is very tasty. There are different types of birthday noodle. You can also try Misua birthday noodle.

    Some good dishes in century (not in the picture) are steamed lapu-lapu. Fried Salt and Pepper Crab and seafood/salad roll.

    For dessert, you can go for ginataan, mango sago or sticky peanut ball.

    As for the price, it is somewhere between P8,000-P12,000 for a table of 12 seaters. Depending on the dish you order. They also have food package per table and you can choose to change the dishes included in the package.

    Overall, I give the ambiance 4/5, food taste 4/5 and presentation 4/5.
