C Lounge, Conrad Manila

You will fall in love with the place!

It was my first time at C Lounge, so when I found out that Conrad Manila is a five-star hotel, my expectations went up ten notches!

C Lounge definitely lived up to my expectations. Everything looks classy; it's a great place for business meetings or just casual hangouts with friends. Apparently, when they started out, all C Lounge offered were drinks, so people clamored for food to be added on the menu. And of course, C Lounge complied.

I was one of the first people to try out the new dishes, and to be honest, a lot of them still need work. I don't really consider myself as a food expert, but the dishes they served us that evening weren't new to the taste. None of them were spectacular or exceptional in any way, and I guess I expected way more from a hotel establishment.

Pita Chips with Hummus and Carrots (P280)

Jamon Serrano and Mozzarella Toastini (P460)


Salmon Sashimi Salad (P460)
in soy mirin, spring onions, and sesame

Prawn Tempura with Wasabi Mayo (P590)

Tuna Rice Bowl (P390)

Steamed Chinese Butterfly Bun (P540)
with honey barbecued pork and cucumber pickles

Poptails
price ranges from P350-P400

Afternoon Tea Sets (P1,450)
served daily from 2pm to 5pm

Overall, I thought the food needs improvement. The portions and presentation were underwhelming, to say the least. The Poptails were really the highlight of the evening - I mean, who wouldn't want popsicles in their cocktails?! We all had fun consuming our drinks :) The afternoon tea sets were presented beautifully, though I still think they are a bit overpriced. I know of other hotels that offer afternoon tea at a lower cost. Still, lovely environment and the staff was very helpful the entire time.

C Lounge is located at level 3, Conrad Manila, Seaside Boulevard corner Coral Way, Mall of Asia Complex (MOA), Pasay City 1300
