while I figure seafood in Manila will be plentiful and fresh there (It's only an island haha). I wonder, any places that stand out or that I should try? I am thinking more of a Chinese or even Western style cuisine.

I was thinking on looking for some seafood buffets, but the couple places I saw had them on Fri nights. I will be there on a Wed night, and likely near Intramuros or Manila Bay (I think. Not sure what my plans are yet, and I am staying at the Traders Hotel in Pasay)
