Finding the Best in Classic Chinese

With so many red-letter days coming up in the next few months; Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year, just to name two that are fast approaching - it’s always good to know what new, dependable, and exciting dining options are around. We always want to treat our family, loved ones, and close friends to something special. While Makati and BGC seem to monopolize a lot of the attention when it comes to new culinary offerings, there’s a relatively unsung gem of a place that has emerged at Gateway 2 at Araneta City - very much worth discovering.
