Ashark Club is a new, hip restaurant, with the fusion not of cuisines, but of classy dining and KTV entertainment. This may seem like a weird and unmatching combination, but save those doubts for some jaw-dropping, "I was wrong" moment that will surely sink in later on.
This spacious restaurant has a purely elegant ambiance, with furnitures dressed in white cloth, lightings looking like thousands of hanging diamonds, and jaded figurines that will make you hold on to your purses and make sure you have enough to push through.
We were invited by a friend who won a P5,000 GC from Ashark Club, and we ordered their set meal, plus some desserts and buns.
Set Meal P3,680++

| Salt and Pepper Diced Chicken |
I loved how the flavors of the salt and pepper were brought out in this dish. It was a lot spicy, but it's something I was able to appreciate rather than avoid (low tolerance on spicy food). However, I would have enjoyed the flavors even more if they used meat instead of diced chicken joints.

| Sauteed Clams in Spicy Sauce |
I honestly can't remember much about this dish, except that I didn't really find it that spicy and that there was no strong play in flavors.

| Deep Fried Crispy Rice with Pork Belly and Ginger |

| Deep Fried Crispy Rice with Pork Belly and Ginger |
How do we add a twist to carbs? Make it crispy. The deep fried crispy rice of Ashark has a touch of Pinoy to it. Are you a fan of tutong rice? Well, this is it, except that it is topped with pork bits and sauce. The taste was good, but I prefer having more sauce to it to complement the really dry parts underneath.

Pomelo Mango Sago P150
Looking for something light and refreshing for dessert? Then you can go for the more common Chinese dessert ~ the pomelo mango sago.
Sweet Lotus Seed with Lily Sago P120
This was also a light dessert with thin, not too sweet syrup. This is best for those who want to have a light, refreshing, but unique dessert.

Buns in the form of a cute hedgehog, and filled with delicious purple yam that tastes like Baguio's pride. Initially, I thought that the yam would taste weird in a siopao like bun, but woah, this really was the perfect treat.
After the meal, we were taken to a tour led by one of the servers of Ashark. We took a trip to their aquarium section, where we were able to see their fresh, live seafood.
After this, we went to check out their VIP rooms, and boy were we amazed. Each VIP room has an even more elegant set up, with a huge round table in the middle of the room, right beneath a lavishly looking chandelier. Where the dining area ends is a door leading to the equally extravagant karaoke room. Rates for VIP rooms start at P50,000. The amount is consumable, and good for 4 hours.
They also have rooms that are just for dining, and just for karaoke. Starting rates are P20,000 and P30,000 respectively, and are also consumable.
