Summer Palace

WHY GO

The recently renovated Summer Palace is one of the best places in Manila to satisfy your craving for Chinese cuisine. Food quality and appearance has been updated to jive with current trends.

TATLER TIPS

While a cold cut platter is an excellent start, opt for the Summer Palace supreme seafood soup, a combination of premium seafood and vegetables. Veer away from traditional dishes and order the beautifully plated sautéed fresh peeled crab meat and scallops with egg, topped with red and black caviar, served on the half shell. It is as delicious as it looks. End with the crispy banana with black sesame ice cream. Not the typical flour-coated, syrup-drizzled fried banana, the banana is coated with red bean paste and wrapped with kataifi pastry.
