A Mid-Autumn Festival Feast at Crystal Jade Dining IN

The arrival of the autumnal equinox and the full moon signals the start of traditional festivities, and a good time to take stock, and thank the countless blessings of the year with family and friends. It's time to harmonize unions and say thanks. It's time for good times and mooncakes. And it's time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with special dishes created by Chinese master chefs at Crystal Jade Dining IN... 

A traditional Chinese harvest festival, the Mid-Autumn celebration brings families and friends together in thanksgiving for the many blessings of the year. And there's no better way to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival than with a traditional and flavorful six-course feast at Crystal Jade Dining IN at The Fort.

From September 1 to 14, 2014, Crystal Jade Dining IN offers its special Mid-Autumn Menu Sets starting at P 3,800+ (good for 4-5) to P 7,800+ (good for 8-9) featuring traditional festival favorites like the Three-Way Chicken and other dishes, including mooncake for dessert. And a cool dice game to cap off your festive meal. Start your Mid-Autumn feast at Crystal Jade Dining IN with a tall and refreshing Grape Shake, and let the feast begin...

The Mid-Autumn Festival kicks off with the Jiang Nan Crispy Sliced Chicken Wrapped in Pancake, tender and crisp chicken on fresh lettuce, the first of three chicken courses.

The staff at Crystal Jade Dining IN then prepare the delicate pancake wraps, adding shreds of chicken, vegetables, and hoisin sauce. Prepared like the traditional duck, the chicken wraps bursts with rich flavors in every bite, and a great starter to the Mid-Autumn feast.

The Shredded Chicken with Fresh Fruit Salad is then served, an elegantly plated dish with a medley of fresh fruits and tender chicken drizzled with a creamy mayo dressing. Fresh and light, yet rich and sweet, and a perfect dish to balance the flavors of the first chicken course.

For the third course, the steaming hot Poached Chicken with Cordycep Flower and Beancurd Soup is served in individual bowls. The light milky broth blends the delicate flavors of the chicken with the nutty and fresh, homemade tofu in a comforting soup.

Next, Deep-Fried Garoupa Balls with Sweet & Sour Sauce is served, a bright and vibrant dish with equally bold notes. The rich sweet and sour sour sauce play well with the delicate flavors of the crisp grouper for contrasting flavors and textures. The colors and flavors of the dish are both bright and festive, and elegantly executed by the Chinese master chefs of Crystal Jade Dining IN.

The festive parade of Mid-Autumn flavors continue with Crystal Jade Dining IN's Sauteed Shrimp with Broccoli Flower, another intricately plated dish with a blend of fresh and delicate flavors. The fresh broccoli flowers have a subtle layer of sweetness combined with a fresh "snap" in every bite, contrasting with the fresh and plump shrimps with its mild briny note.

Crystal Jade Fried Rice, soft and fluffy rice mixed with vegetables and egg, complete the experience at Crystal Jade Dining IN's Mid-Autumn feast. Crystal Jade Dining IN's Set Menu A (P 3,800+ good for 4-5) offers a full range of flavors for that special Mid-Autumn feast with family and friends.

Crystal Jade Dining IN's Mid-Autumn Festival Set Menu B (P 7,800+ good for 8-9) include the same six elegant courses, plus the Braised Homemade Beancurd with Mushrooms topped on fresh bok choy or Chinese Cabbage. The nutty flavors of the different varieties of fresh mushrooms, including shitake and winter mushrooms, combine for another festive dish. For dessert, enjoy traditional mini-mooncakes with tea to cap your Mid-Autumn feast. And there's more. Every P 5,000 minimum spend gives diners a chance to participate in a traditional dice game for a chance to win P 1,000 Crystal Jade Gift Vouchers. Fun and good vibes.
