Red Jade - 红玉 — Restaurant in Manila

I brought my wife and in-laws here to have dinner. After being patrons of manila hotel and their great restaurants like cafe ilang ilang and champagne room, i can’t beleive that this is the first time that we will be able to try red jade. The restaurant has nice interiors and has a very cozy and intimate feel. Being filipino-chinese, i have to say that the place really embodies what a typical chinese restaurant is supposed to be and add a liitle more extra for posh and elegance.

But as always, it all boils down to the food. I ordered the dishes that are common in typical chinese restaurant menus. I did it to make a more accurate comparison. We had seafood spinach soup, sweet and sour pork, deep fried squid in salted egg yolk, spinach tofu with mushrooms and dried scallops, and red jade signature fried rice. Of all the dishes we ordered, the red jade signature fried rice is a definite winner. It was generous with toppings and you can really taste the crab meat. It was encased in lotus leaf which gave it more flavor. The squid was soft and unique with the salted egg yolk sauce. The soup was also tasty and loaded with seafood. The spinach tofu was great too and generous with sauce. The sweet and sour pork was ok but the meat was quite tough.

Bottomline, we had a great experience. Service was great and the staff were very attentive to our needs and were very accomodating. The serving of the food for ala carte short orders were generous and good for 3-4 persons. However, this restaurant is quite pricey. We enjoyed perks of having 50% off our food bill because of prestige vip membership and we also used a 1000 pesos voucher that also came with the vip membership. So you might want to reserve this restaurant for...
