JING TING: LATE NIGHT CHINESE FOOD IN CITY OF DREAMS MANILA

I know that carbs like rice or noodles is a bad thing to take on when it's late at night but sometimes you got to live on the edge. It's something that you might need just because you're feeling tipsy and has had a glass or two of your favorite liquor. If all else fails, there's this one thing that could get your stomach going. It's CITY OF DREAMS MANILA'S JING TING.
Located on the second floor and just a stone throw away from Chaos and Pangaea, JING TING is the place to be at late at night. They create fresh noodle and dimsum dishes among others. They focus all their energy to make you happy and enjoy the night away. In our case, it helped all our appetite to cope with the late night drinks.

If dumplings are your thing, they have a number to choose from. You could go for their deep fried versions or steamed. Either way you're in for a treat. Some might say that they might seem a bit bland but the presence of the dipping sauce makes them flavorful to the max.
Noodles are a specialty when in JING TING. You could opt for something soupy, dry or even stir fried. It's something that you could definitely have a fun time choosing between.
The beef noodles are quite a specialty. It's something that could soothe your feelings after a long night.
My personal favorite though would be their stir fried noodles. This right here had the right blend of oil and spices. It wasn't overly greasy. On the contrary, it was perfect. This alongside the appetizer COLD SHREDDED RICE ROLL with Sesame Sauce works.
Now JING TING also offers some main dishes other than just noodles and dimsum. They have deep fried dishes such as this sweet and sour pork belly. The breading was crunchy but the meat inside was moist and tender. It was perfect with rice.
For dessert, they have a lot to choose from as well. One thing that I enjoyed was the custard bun. The filling was liquidy and oozes out with each bite.

5 Reasons Why You Should Have Sunday Brunch in HYATT CITY OF DREAMS MANILA

As a foodie, I always have one of the most problematic job of answering the most asked question ever. "Where will we eat?". It's always "saan tayo kakain?!".  It's quite hard to satisfy everyone's cravings and appetites. Thankfully BUFFETS were made.
If there was one SUNDAY HOTEL BUFFET to visit, it would be THE CAFE in HYATT CITY OF DREAMS MANILA. This huge restaurant houses different theaters that would and could cater to your needs, wants, and desires. Here are 5 reasons why you should come on over and visit THE CAFE during SUNDAY BRUNCH.
1) One of the main draw of the Sunday Brunch is their offering of lobsters. Granted that these are slipper lobsters, you could have them cooked based on your preference. Also, they have shrimps, clams, and crabs just to add to the frey.
2) Just beside it, they have an amazing oyster bar that has a huge spread of Fine de Claire Oysters. These aren't your ordinary versions. They are imported and have a sweeter note compared to other oysters I have tasted.
3) They have an extensive carving station. Not only do they have a fine looking roasted pig aka lechon, they also have this HUGE WAGYU BEEF. It's like your dream just came true. It's juicy and tender and terrific. No need to worry as the chef manning the station could grill it for you based on your preference.
4) THEY HAVE FOIE GRAS.
 Mic drop and set. These babies are cooked right in front of you. You have the option to add different toppings that would go well with them. Personally, I know that having too much would be bad for you but I had 7 of these babies. My goodness, they were amazing.
5) The buffet comes with unlimited drinks and a selection of cocktails and other alcoholic beverages. Just having a glass or two of mojito with your sparkling wine sounds right about perfect for brunch.
Of course, The Cafe at the HYATT has more to offer. They have tons of dishes in the spread plus more scrumptious delights like the crispy pata and even a huge shank cooked in red wine.
Also, don't forget to go for their tempuras. They have a number for you to choose from but personal fave would be the ebi or the shrimp.
Of course, they have a number of sushi and sashimi available as well.
And just to top it all of, they have a long table spread filled with sweet endings.

 Speaking of, two of the most amazing and must visit place in the park would be the THREAD OF ENLIGHTENMENT and the WALL OF DESTINY. Both are quite tiring but enjoyable. You get to walk the plank, climb walls, and even hang on for dear life.
Aside from these, there are other activities that could be fun as well. You can create your own dragon and see it fly. There are even giant slides that would make your body twist and turn.

HYATT CITY OF DREAMS MANILA: DISHES TO TRY AT THE CAFE

 One of the things that I look for when visiting a restaurant or a hotel buffet would be the staff and the people behind them. Of course, food quality and choices are on the top of the list but the people behind the counter matters a lot as well.
 Just a week back, I found myself in the CITY OF DREAMS MANILA. To be more specific, I was in HYATT'S The Cafe. During this event, I met the newest FNB director of Hyatt City of Dreams Mr. Chad Ogdenn. He brings with him 27 years of rich culinary experience while working in different hotel and restaurants around the world. With his new post, he brought in his love for food. I believe you can't be in the industry without being madly deeply in love with it. Because of that, I'm pretty much happy with how things are looking up at HYATT CITY OF DREAMS MANILA.
Going back, the buffet at The Cafe is still large and spacious. You get a dose of different cheeses and appetizers, main courses, Chinese cuisine, pasta, pizza, meat carvings and a long line for dessert items.
Aside from the different items that you could pick, Chad has a few favorite dishes that you have got to try. These would include the yakitori, deep dish Chicago style pizza, and even the black pepper beef.
Personally though, I'm in love with their take on the crispy pata. Juicy, tender, and moist, it can't get better than this. The crunchy skin is the most soft after piece of the pata. You gotta try their version out.
