Regional Chinese dishes with contemporary inflexions in a stylish, spacious restaurant

 

Crystal Dragon at City of Dreams Manila remains a premier destination for refined Cantonese and regional Chinese cuisine. Executive chef Danny Khoo and chef de cuisine Chan Choo Kean lead the kitchen, while chef She Chong Ngooi oversees an expanded selection of over 20 innovative dim sum items. The menu balances tradition with modern flair, featuring hand-carved Peking duck and premium sustainable ingredients. Guests can enjoy their meal in a sophisticated oriental setting, complemented by a rare 50-year vintage Maotai and a curated list of fine Chinese teas.

Tatler Tip

Request the off-menu aromatic braised baby abalone with homemade egg tofu or the wok-fried beef tenderloin with black pepper, both of which highlight the kitchen’s precision with premium ingredients.
