New World Makati's Jasmine Fine Cantonese Signature Sets

Yes, it's another food entry yet again! This is the reason why I'm still fat. Heehee! But seriously, I love good food! Who doesn't right? The #SoMoms raved about their Unlimited Dimsum that we all went back again with our families and friends!

Last June, we were invited again by Nini Icban, Director of Communications of New World Makati to try their signature Cantonese dishes and this time we were put in one of their private rooms, the Orchid Suite. And since I was late... The photo below is from Mommy Fleur. Hihi!



And this time around, we were treated to a fine Cantonese fair.

Our menu for the night

A selection of Signature set menus featuring authentic Cantonese cuisine take center-stage for dinner at New World Makati Hotel’s Jasmine Restaurant until August 2013.

Jasmine Restaurant presents diners with four Signature Sets to choose from, all designed and prepared by Chef Wong Kam On and his team of seasoned chefs. Diners are treated to an authentic Cantonese dining experience, with each set menu featuring a signature Jasmine restaurant dish!

We started our dinner with a dimsum sampler. I love the Wagyu beef roll and scallops!

Tropical fruits, golden scallops, Wagyu beef roll

A treat from the chef which was not on the menu: Seafood soup with braised bamboo shoots and conpoy - love this with a dash of black vinegar! Yum!!!

Steamed King Prawns with Garlic

My favorite dish for the night: Deep fried fish fillet, salted egg yolk, steamed egg white - OMG Super sarap!!!

Beef short ribs with black pepper sauce - the beef was so tender and flavorful! Sarap with rice!

Fried rice, diced chicken, Chinese sausage

Another favorite! Chilled mango cream sago!

After dinner, we got to meet again the brilliant chefs behind these dishes! Chef Wongs! Which could be my long lost relatives! Choz!

They're really nice! I actually understood what the chef said naman. But I was trying to speak to them using my very broken Cantonese! Mahirap, man! We all had a good laugh about it hehe! Buti na lang we were in a private room!

Unlimited Yum Cha for only Php600 at Jasmine, New World Makati!

I can't say NO to good food, so when Patty of Non Stop Babble invited some of the SoMoms for taste of Jasmine at New World Makati.

I love Jasmine's interior! Upon entering you'll see a big teapot(?) which I thought was for display only but it was really working (caution: HOT!). There's displays of tea on one side and of alcohol drinks on the other side.

Everyone was excited for the lafangan that was about to happen that lunch. I love Dim Sum and it was my first time to try this dim sum buffet!

Dim sum lovers are in for a daily mid-day treat from now until May 31, 2013. New World Makati Hotel’s fine Cantonese restaurant, Jasmine, is featuring unlimited servings of freshly prepared dim sum, handmade by the resident expert chef Wong and his talented crew. 

Have a fill of sweet and savory steamed buns, succulent dumplings, crispy fried spring rolls, and baked delights, plus a choice of tea or soda for PHP600* per person. On the weekend, diners can opt to indulge and match the dim sum feast with a glass of sparkling wine for a total of PHP950* per person

All of us are trying to not eat rice because we already ate so much but these dishes needs to be paired with rice! As in NEED! They're so good, seriously! I was shy to ask for rice but when the rice was served, kain din ako!!!

Egg White Fried Rice with Scallops

This was my plate!

And to cap off our sumptuous lunch, dessert was served!

Mango cream, Pearl Tapioca and Walnut Cookies - one of the best mango sago I've ever tasted!
