Gloriamaris Shark's Fin Restaurant — Restaurant in Pasay

Gloria Maris really hit the spot for me! It’s one of those places that makes you feel good about choosing to dine out. The food was superb across the board. I mean, the Peking duck had the best texture I've ever had—crispy on the outside and just melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside.

Here was the menu we had, it was perfect!
