Reviewed By Frankenstein3726 - Liverpool, United Kingdom

Stayed at the Clarkton but went out for breakfast and evening meal. Only found a couple of decent places so decided to eat in. Found the breakfast buffet fantastic with a good selection. Went for the Sunday roast. No roast potatoes but could not fault the other food. Deserts to die for. Ate there the rest of the stay

A great range of Japanese food on the menu. Sashimi and sushi platters in various sizes to ensure when sharing among different sizes of groups that everyone gets the right amount. Food was delicious and price was about what you would expect from this type of establishment.

Reviewed By Paul T - Washington DC, District of Columbia

Just off the walking street near Central Park Tower, Tequila Reef is a good break from the burger or Filipino choices everyone else in this range has. I had enchiladas and Tacos, both very good. a San Miguel is only php 60, so a bonus. They're open for breakfast and about half the price of the hotel menus. Today I had a "mini burrito", which was big enough to feed two people; just imagine what the full size is like! Menu is quite extensive and relatively inexpensive.

Operated by the same people that own Puzzles Cafe, all the same items can be found here. In the past full of smoke but with the ban things have change. Good food and larger size so better for groups than Puzzles. Staff is better than most worth a trip.

Fortune Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant

Reviewed By Paul T - Washington DC, District of Columbia

Very popular and more pricy than the comparable Chinese place across MacArthur Hwy, Fortune (locals call it the "new" Fortune to distinguish it from another Fortune up the street), is quite authentic and very good. Plan to 'shuck' your shellfish, but the fish is boned. Yes, it does look back at you! Everything is well presented and plentiful, but service is sometimes slow. They do take Reservations, and I would recommend doing that.

Maranao Grill at the Oasis Hotel

Reviewed By petelovestotravel - Clark Freeport Zone, Philippines

First time to review this restaurant which I have visited several times in the past since the 1990s.
Undoubtedly, the finest steak house in Angeles City (or even Pampanga) since the time it opened almost five decades ago.
Roast beef and corned beef are just some of my favorites. The salad bar is generously curated. The ambiance is very good with a pianist playing in the background. The place is cozy.
If you want to impress your date, this is good place to start with.

The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed the fun and excitement playing Joker Poker. MJ and her crew left a lasting expression on us that we will cherish forever. Can’t wait to do it all over again next year.

Bale Dutung

Reviewed By Malou B - Quezon City

Bale Datung is Chef Claude Tayag's restaurant at the family residence. His wife MaryAnn manages it with him and their son. There are three menus: Kapampangan (our 10-course meal), Anthony Bourdain (the dishes he ate there), and the lechon. Our lunch lasted 4 hours because Mary Ann explained the concept and history behind each dish. We were first served with refreshing melon juice and salabat juice and three dips: pesto, crab talangka and buro, on crackers as appetizer. My favorites were: ensaladang pako (raw), Priniritong Lumpiang Ubod sa Claude'9 Oriental Sauce, Inasal na Manok (wing) at Claude'9 Talangka Sushi, Kapampangan sushi (hito, mustasa at ampalaya, with balo-balo), Fried lechon flakes binalot sa tortilla at Claude'9 Oriental Sauce (Lechon Taco), Bulanglang Kapampanga (sinigang) na may tian na bangus, ulang, at tadyang ng baboy with guava soup, Kare-kare lamang dagat, and paradiso (dessert).The place has a very nice ambience. Each dish looks like a work of art! I loved the personal touch. One has to reserve (minimum of 12 persons) but if you are less than 12, you can join the group of 12 but have the same menu. Claude'9 sauces and other food items are available for sale.

Reviewed By Sonny_Foodie - Freehold, New Jersey

My first experience with local cuisine. Food was tasty and prepared well. The outside area was very rustic with little huts and make shift platforms for more casual family style eating environment. If you plan to sit in the back area, make sure you spray bug repellent, the mosquitoes had a feast on me. I will go again, but sit inside.
