Xin Tian Di
By Earl D.C. Bracamonte
Crowne Plaza Galleria Manila offers revelers and
well-wishers a yu sheng set lucky lunch and/or dinner at their Chinese fine
dining restaurant Xin Tian Di. Head chef Andy Fung prepared a lauriat feast of
authentic dishes including seafood, dumplings and the symbolic yee shang salad
believed to bring wealth and good luck.
The perfect time to honor family and loved ones, Xin Tian Di
ensures a joyful experience for all as the hotel ushers in the Year of the Yin
Wood Goat. At the beginning of the meal,
table occupants toss the yu sheng salad while cheering for auspicious new beginnings.
This sweet sourish tossed salad dish is made more savory with slices of salmon.
After appetizers come the soup, Double-boiled chicken with
Chinese ham and wanton. This creamy concoction tastefully combines feet and
breast parts of the Filipino’s well-loved fowl. The fried golden mango seafood
roll comes thereafter. This crunchy delight, filled with mango, seafood and
mayo, is served with julienne carrot strips, Rohmaine lettuce and fresh
strawberry.
Seafood lovers will be happy to know that there are two more
in the menu. First is Sauteed scallops with broccoli and fried-shredded
bread-stuffed prawns. This shellfish
plate is smothered with creamy mushroom sauce. Then followed closely with the
Steamed cod fish with wild mushrooms cooked in olive oil. This medley from the
sea pairs well with the Thai-style fried rice that’s served inside a pineapple
shell.
And to end the repast on a sweet note, a basket carved from
ice is proffered containing Baked crispy snow asado pao with ube jelly and
special buchi. This fresh and
energizing experience is further enhanced by a Chinese New Year weekend package
in renovated rooms. Guests will surely find peace and relaxation in the
comforts of the hotel’s stylish accommodations with breakfast for two and 24/7 complimentary
Internet access, among other perks.
