Dim Sum and Then Some for a Bite-Sized Feast

Who doesn't love dim sum? Me, I can never have enough of it. We had our fill of dim sum—and then some—at the launch of the expanded dim sum menu at the City of Dreams Manila's Crystal Dragon, created by the new dim sum chef de cuisine, She Chong Ngooi.

Who doesn't love dim sum? Me, I can never have enough of it. We had our fill of dim sum—and then some—at the launch of the expanded dim sum menu at the City of Dreams Manila's Crystal Dragon, created by the new dim sum chef de cuisine, She Chong Ngooi. Chef Chong not only pays tribute to China's cherished teahouse culture but also gives the new dim sum selection a contemporary twist.

I haven't seen a more picture-pretty, Instagram-worthy dim sum menu—it's almost too good to be eaten—served amid Crystal Dragon's newly refreshed setting with a luxurious carpet and modern tableware.

Whether steamed, baked, pan-fried, savory or sweet, Crystal Dragon's over 20 innovative dim sums, available early this month, are bound to dazzle the taste buds with their intricate preparation and vast range of flavors and textures.
