Harbour City, Centrio

Ayala Centrio recently opened its newest fast food chain called Harbour City located at the 2nd floor just right beside Hukad.

As their slogan says "We bring Hongkong to your table", Harbour City brings its customers to a new and different way of dining. From pushing food carts around and from the clapping of each crew to get another crew's attention gives us Cagayanons an unusual dining experience. We were actually confused on how to get our order the first time. The crew who led us to our table did not quite explain that there will be pushing carts around that will be getting our order. The clapping can be annoying too at times. I've been to Hongkong though but I haven't witnessed such scenario. Maybe this is just how it is when dining in Hongkong food chains.

Their menu is limited only to a variety of dumplings (see picture below). They will not give you a separate menu immediately like those of a chinese reataurant. So better check their menu first outside before dining.

When we went there last June 27, there were a lot of people on the waiting list. Even so we didn't wait that long. Wait time was just around 5-10 minutes and there was already an available table for us. Another observation that I have here is that aside from the fast pace, you can't really stay here for long to chat with friends since there are people outside waiting for their turn to dine. I wouldn't recommend it for groupies though who would like to stay long and chat. I recommend this to people who want to dine instantly and will leave after dining.

Now for the food, Boo and I ordered their rice toppings. We were given an order sheet that lists all our orders.  The crew takes the sheet and record what you've ordered. This guy over here is the one serving the rice toppings. 

We got our drinks from another push cart.

The Siomai's are on this push cart.

Pork Siomai

Quail Egg Siomai

While you can get dumplings and spring rolls from this push cart.

Vegetable Spring Rolls

Basically the push carts just roam around to give customers their orders. You can get as many dumplings and siomai as you like. So here's us on our Harbour City moment.

In total, we paid Php450.02 for the entire meal. Not bad though. The food was just right for our hungry tummies.

So here's my review:

Value for money: 9/10

Ambiance: 8/10

Food Presentation: 8/10

Taste: 7/10

Customer Service: 6/10
