The Tatler Dining Guide Philippines

WHY GO
Jasmine's iconic roast Peking duck is at the pinnacle of Chinese imperial cuisine in Manila.
TATLER TIPS
• Start with an exotic cold platter of tender, meaty jellyfish and century egg dipped in black vinegar. Couple this with Jasmine's taro scallop balls— probably the best in town. • Go for the roast Peking duck, two-ways—a meal in itself. Savour the goodness of thinly sliced duck skin, crispy and salty, rolled in wheat pancakes with slices of cucumber and white scallions, and laced with a mildly sweet bean sauce. Follow with the diced duck meat served in crunchy lettuce cups.
• End your meal with a refreshing bowl of cold mango tapioca soup.
