If you’re looking for a perfect spot to celebrate a birthday while enjoying a feast, Tong Yang at SM Seaside Cebu should definitely be on your radar. We recently had our second visit to this vibrant buffet restaurant and just like the first time, it did not disappoint!
One of the highlights here is that the birthday celebrant eats for free as long as there’s at least one paying adult, making it a fantastic option for special occasions.
