Being a Mom who enjoys food with my family, I’m always on the scout for something new and something tasty to bring for my family. Since we also love Chinese cuisines and seafoods, Xilaimen Seafood Restaurant is just the place for us to enjoy a sumptuous meal. Though the place is a far from us who would go that far just to taste something that you really like. Yes it was far us as it is located at Robinsons Magnolia just along the Aurora Blvd.
Xilaimen is one of the newest Chinese restaurants located in this busy mall. They are serving authentic seafood and Chinese cuisine to food lovers, like us, who are on the look for something other than the usual dishes. With their line of dishes to savor, food enthusiasts will definitely go hungry for more.

Last June 19, 2015 was a very significant day for Xilaimen Seafood Restaurant, as it opened its door to people hungry for authentic and flavorful Chinese dishes. This gives food lovers, enthusiasts, and certified foodies more opportunity to enjoy great food in a Chinese fine dining experience.
According to Ms. Andrea Joyce Ng-Wen, “Xilaimen means happiness in Chinese and this is what we want for the customers to experience whenever they dine in at our restaurant.” “An ambiance of joy as they enter the restaurant,” added by Ms. Wen. Not only with the restaurant but with the food that is served as well. By doing so, it makes the food experience more fun and enjoyable, more enticing for everyone to go back and have an exquisite dining experience.

Since Xilaimen is new on the radar I was able to join a Bloggers’ Night event where it introduced a number of mouthwatering dishes that made its name marked in the restaurant industry specializing in seafood dishes cooked in a traditional authentic Chinese way. Here are some of the dishes that you can truly enjoy at the restaurant...

Minced Seafood with Polonchay Soup

Aside from the one that we tasted there are other dishes to enjoy with and there are plenty more when you visit the restaurant. So mommies address that craving for Chinese cuisine by visiting Xilaimen Seafood Restaurant located at the Upper Ground Floor, Al Fresco, Robinsons Magnolia.
