Chinese New Year at Jumbo (Kingdom) Floating Restaurant

I had the chance to try Stanley Ho's floating restaurant in Manila Bay. Nothing really exceptional with the food but the price (between 500 to 4000 per head). Even the 'floating' part didn't change much of the experience because it was connected to land by bridge... in Aberdeen Harbor, Hong Kong you had to ride a boat to go to this restaurant so you really get to feel the waves even just for a short time. This one felt more like a building with water around it than a building floating freely on water.

This floating restaurant was brought here in 2000, all the way from HK using tugboats. The interiors carry a Chinese imperial theme while outside it's a light show with thousands of bulbs and huge neon signs. There's a good level of attention placed on details, making it a nice place to take photos...
