Chinese Lauriat, Anyone?

One of the more popular and affordable Chinese restaurants in Cebu is Grand Majestic. This is one of many eateries of the famous triumverate of food: Earl Kokseng, Efraim Pelaez and Winglip Chang.


The chef of Grand Majestic at the landmark Grand Convention Center has always been the venerable Chef Romeo Aragon, master of the Peking Duck.

Their lunch buffet at 499 (or thereabouts, i can't exactly remember) is one of the best in town, especially with the endless supply of Peking Duck and all its varieties- soup, rice, etc and 30 something courses in their back-to-back buffet table that does not hold a repeat of dishes.

I attended a party at Grand Con last week and I got another chance to revel in their food, monosodium glutamate notwithstanding.

Nice cake, nice decor, gorgeous girl :-)

These are just a sample of the dishes served.

Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet.
Crisp coating on the tender white fish inside.
Sauce is mild with a light acidic tang.

Yang Chow Fried Rice.
Fluffy, not greasy and with small chunks of chorizo.

Steamed Pork in Lotus Leaf.
Pork is very tender and slightly salty with
black beans.

The specialty of the house: Noodles.
Special noodles slightly thicker than angel hair
and slightly thinner than miki.
The sweet-salty sauce is redolent with slices of squid,
pork, chicken and vegetables.

Aside from the buffet, ala carte menu may be had. Frog legs available for the adventurous.
