Causeway seafood restaurant

Definitely one of my familyÕs favorite Chinese restaurants, the first Causeway Seafood Restaurant in the Philippines opened along Banawe Avenue in Quezon City about eight years ago. We were one of it’s first patrons. A branch opened along E. Rodriquez Avenue in Libis, Quezon City, just across Eastwood City, a few years ago. It was at the Libis branch where we had lunch yesterday en route to a shopping trip at 168 Shopping Mall in Divisoria.

We started our meal with assorted dimsum (above, left), a mixed seafood steamed dimsum (above, middle), pork siomai (above, right, foreground), sharksfin siomai (above, right, background), spicy chicken feet that were so tender (below, left), and shrimps and vegetables in a sticky transparent wrapper (below, right). Actually, I only had pork siomai and chicken feet because I am allergic to crustaceans. Only my husband and kids ate the rest.

For the main courses, my husband and kids had camaron rebosado (below, left), peeled and deveined shrimps dipped in batter then deep fried, and the salt and pepper pork spare ribs (below, right), CausewayÕs bestseller according to the hostess, which we all enjoyed.

This pork dish was really good made with bite-size deboned spare ribs sprinkled with bits of seasalt and chili peppers. They must have been pre-cooked to tenderness before deep-frying. I donÕt think they would have been that tender otherwise. And, of course, we had yang chow fried rice.

I wanted to order some egg tarts for dessert but we were too full.

The total bill including drinks was PhP 1,118.00 or a little over $ 20.00.

Rating: Great food, prices are reasonable (not exactly cheap), service is okay, facilities are okay.
