I started my week with Chinese food trip at Binondo (to be posted soon) then after two days, I found myself and my partner, Eton, dining at The Cafe, Hyatt City of Dreams to experience the real Cantonese Food Festival!
Yes, the Cantonese Food Festival has already started, bringing authentic flavors from the region of Guangdong, China, where Cantonese cuisine has its roots. I just learned that Cantonese cooking is one of the most refined and celebrated cuisine in China!
This culinary experience is brought by Hyatt City of Dreams and Hyatt Regency Dongguan through mild, fresh and natural flavors with the help of their guest Cantonese chefs Xi Qing Hui and Zhao Pan Fei.
The place turned into a live cooking show where chefs would cook your dish right in front of you. On the photo below, I was waiting for my bowl of hot Cantonese Laksa to be served.
Roasted duck, anyone?
Okay, I picked up a tray for my picks!
This Snapper in XO sauce is the bomb! One of my most favorites!
And this Crispy Crab Claw is something you shouldn’t miss! It became a crowd favorite during the first day!
The Simmered Boy-Choy with Bamboo Piths and Pork Balls may look common in shabu shabu restaurants but it is actually the best that I have tasted! If only the soup was hotly served, I would have went back to that section and asked for more.
Every dish with vegetables, mushrooms, and/or seafood was my favorite. Super biased but hahaha I love them! Just like this dish of Asparagus with Black Fungus.
Cuapao with Pork Barbeque is similar to siopao. This one has a similar taste of atcharo inside, some sour paste that I am not really into.
But their version of Buchi was a truly delectable treat! Served soft, warm and mildly sweet. Waaayyy way different from what you normally know.
Really impressed with these chefs! Thanks for sharing the real Cantonese Food experience with us!
Lastly, I happily ended my meal with a coffee jelly and creme brulee.
Buffet rate starts at Php1,388 for lunch and Php 1,888 for dinner. The Cantonese Food Festival at The Cafe of Hyatt City of Dreams will happen until June 19.
