When Patty of http://nonstopbabble.blogspot.com invited me together with the other SoMoms for an intimate lunch at Jasmine Restaurant in New World Makati Hotel, I didn’t think twice mainly for two reasons: I love the name of the restaurant, same name as my daughter and they serve authentic Cantonese cuisine. I couldn’t say no to that!
Warning: food porn!
Jasmine, offers an impeccable dining experience amidst chic Chinese art deco interiors at New World Makati Hotel’s second level.
The restaurant has a spacious reception area with two different bars on either side. One for premium alcoholic beverages while the other boasts of a fully functional tea bar.
The table setting is chic noh? A mix of traditional and modern China.
We love the dining booth, perfect for date nights.
The main dining area can seat up to approximately 100 people.
The SoMoms busy Instagramming and Tweeting live updates.
We met Chef Wong Kam On, the culinary helm of Jasmine who is supported by a team of highly-trained chefs. Jasmine’s extensive menu features authentic Cantonese creations as well as Chef Wong’s personal favorites in an a la carte or set menu.
Mr. Paawan Engineer, the Director of Food and Beverage of New World Makati Hotel sat down with us briefly and warmly welcomed us to Jasmine.
So the highlight of our lunch is Jasmine Restaurant’s Unlimited Dim Sum Treats. Get unlimited servings of freshly prepared dim sum, handmade by resident expert chef Wong and his talented crew. Choose among a variety of steamed buns, succulent dumplings, crispy fried spring rolls and baked delights, plus a choice of tea or soda for 660 php per person net ha. Yep. You read that right!
Take a look at the dim sum we had for lunch. Man was I really stuffed. I felt like a pig waiting to be roasted after a hearty heavy meal!

Bai Ling Mushrooms, Shrimp Mousse, White Sauce.
Wok Fried Beef Tenderloin, Ginger, Green Peppercorn, Spring Onion. One of the best beef tenderloin I’ve ever had. It kinda melts in your mouth!
Cod Fish, Ginger and Leeks. Also another delightful dish. Even though I’m not fan of ginger, I love this dish coz it did not overpower the tender and flavorful cod fish.
Egg White Fried Rice With Seafood Topped With Dried Scallops. A meal on its own.
I won’t pass on dessert even if I’m super full. This Mango Cream & Pearl Tapioca and Walnut Cookie were a pleasant treat to end lunch.
The SoMoms Michelle, Kris, Neva, Tin, Patty, Karrots, Cai and yours truly.
