Crystal Dragon at City of Dreams Manila offers particular Mid-Autumn Festival specialties until September 17 to celebrate the tradition of unity, gratitude, and harvest bounty. The restaurant specializes in Cantonese cuisine and regional Chinese specialties, offering a special ala carte menu for lunch and dinner.
The menu includes Steamed Hokkaido Scallop and Vermicelli in ginger scallion sauce, Double-boiled Pork Rib Soup with abalone, lotus seed, and lion’s mane mushroom, Jasmine Tea-smoked Crispy Roasted Duck, Tiger Prawn tossed in spiced pumpkin curry sauce, and Wok-fried Fragrant Taro Rice with slow-braised 13-spiced pork belly. Crystal Dragon also showcases its signature Snow Skin Mooncake in three flavors: lotus paste with salted yolk, purple ube with salted yolk, and red bean.
Also known as the Lantern or Moon Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival has a rich cultural history dating back over 3,000 years. Considered the second grandest holiday occasion in China and other parts of Asia following Chinese New Year, families usually gather to celebrate the festival and feast on dishes customarily served during the occasion, including duck, taro, pumpkin, and mooncakes, the quintessential treat symbolizing family reunions and harmony.
Crystal Dragon is open daily from 11 am to 11 pm. For inquiries and reservations, call 8800-8080 or e-mail guestservices@cod-manila.com. For more information, visit www.cityofdreamsmanila.com.
