-

WHY GO

Their new chef harkens with an updated menu of Cantonese and northern Chinese dishes. A meal ensconced within the stunning crimson dining room punctuated with gilded vases and an elaborate bas relief depicting Chinese mythology transports Manila diners to a more genteel era. Housed within the capital’s most iconic hotel, Red Jade itself is a beautiful destinatio­n.

TATLER TIPS

• Dim sum here is a decent option for lunch. Dip the hakaw and fried taro pancake with sausage in soy sauce, lemon, and XO sauce.

• A delicate alternativ­e to the usually rich Cantonese fare is their sautéed scallops with egg whites in lettuce cups. Although the Red Jade fried rice— with shrimp, prawn, duck, and dried scallop—might prove impossible to resist.

• Pair your meal here with a pot of their oolong tea. It’s perfect.
