Crystal Dragon, City of Dreams Manila’s award-winning restaurant specializing in Cantonese and regional Chinese cuisine, presents a special ala carte menu in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Available until September 29 for lunch and dinner, the special menu offers this season’s specialties: Braised Conpoy with crab meat and fish in thick broth;
Wok-fried Prawns in Chef’s Special “Kam Heong” (golden, fragrant sauce) Style; Roasted Farm Duck in black truffle sauce; and Wok-fried Hor Fun with sliced Angus beef and XO sauce.
As partaking of mooncakes is a time-honored Mid-Autumn tradition as it signifies togetherness and harmony, Crystal Dragon highlights its snow skin mooncake duo comprised of traditional and exotic renditions: Lotus Paste with Yolk and Durian.
With a history dating back over 3,000 years ago, the celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival usually falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.
It is considered the second grandest holiday occasion in China and other parts of Asia following Chinese New Year, and families customarily gather and celebrate the week-long festival over auspicious food including mooncake, duck, and crab among others.
