A culinary collision of epic proportions is brewing at City of Dreams Manila. Prepare for “The Dragons’ Ascent,” a one-night-only extravaganza uniting the titans of modern Cantonese cuisine. Imagine: three Michelin-starred restaurants – Jade Dragon, Pearl Dragon, and Crystal Dragon – converging in a spectacular, six-course tasting menu, a testament to their individual brilliance and a thrilling first collaboration.
This isn’t just a dinner; it’s a pilgrimage for food lovers. Spearheaded by the masterful hands of Chef Kelvin Au Yeung from Macau’s Jade Dragon and Chef Otto Wong from Studio City’s Pearl Dragon, alongside Crystal Dragon’s own culinary wizardry, the event promises a journey through innovative flavors and impeccable technique. A special, collaborative appetizer – a fried Iberico pork roll, a Mantis prawn with Oscietra caviar, and a goose liver delight – hints at the creative synergy to come.
The menu unfolds with a symphony of textures and tastes. Jade Dragon’s signature hot and sour soup, brimming with fish maw and leopard coral grouper, sits alongside Pearl Dragon’s decadent baked crab shell, infused with mushroom and black truffle. Crystal Dragon’s steamed Australian lobster, elevated with egg white and aged Hua Diao wine, offers a luxurious counterpoint. Each dish is a carefully constructed masterpiece, a reflection of the restaurants’ distinct identities.
But the evening’s true highlight is a creation born from this collaboration – a sweet finale of Chocolate Kalamansi Cremeux with Moringa Sherbet. It’s a bold, unexpected pairing that encapsulates the spirit of the event: a daring blend of tradition and innovation. Tickets for this exclusive experience, priced at P11,888 per person, include pre-dinner cocktails and canapés, alongside the option to elevate the evening with a wine-pairing at P2,500.
