#FoodPH - A Culinary Journey Through Chinese Cuisine at Manila Prince Hotel's Dragon Court Restaurant
Chinese cuisine is a symphony of flavors, a harmony of ingredients, and a testament to the country's rich culinary history. Let's embark on a gastronomic journey through some of the most popular Chinese dishes:
**Pork and Shrimp Siomai** |
A staple in dim sum, Pork and Shrimp Siomai is a delightful blend of ground pork, whole shrimp, and seasonings wrapped in a thin, delicate dumpling wrapper. The succulent pork and the sweet, tender shrimp create a savory symphony that dances on your palate. Each bite is a burst of umami goodness, making it a favorite among food lovers.
**Vegetable Spring Roll**
Crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, Vegetable Spring Rolls are a treat to the senses. The crunch of the golden-brown wrapper gives way to a medley of fresh, vibrant vegetables. The subtle sweetness of carrots, the earthy notes of mushrooms, and the slight bitterness of cabbage come together to create a balanced, satisfying taste.
**Shrimp Hakaw** |
Shrimp Hakaw, or Har Gow, is a dim sum classic. Encased in a translucent, slightly chewy wrapper, the shrimp filling is the star of the show. The shrimp are plump and juicy, with a natural sweetness that shines through. It's a simple dish, but one that showcases the freshness and quality of the ingredients.
**Xiao Long Bao**
Xiao Long Bao, or soup dumplings, are a marvel of Chinese cuisine. The thin, pleated wrapper encloses a rich, flavorful broth and a tender filling of pork. The explosion of hot soup and the savory pork filling when you take a bite is a unique and unforgettable experience.
**Steamed Chicken Feet**
Steamed Chicken Feet, also known as Phoenix Talons, is a dish for the adventurous. The chicken feet are marinated in a sauce of black bean, soy, and oyster sauces, then steamed until tender. The result is a gelatinous texture and a deep, savory flavor that's surprisingly addictive.
**Steamed Custard Bun**
To end on a sweet note, the Steamed Custard Bun is a must-try. The fluffy, soft bun reveals a creamy, sweet custard filling. The custard, made from milk, sugar, and eggs, has a smooth texture and a rich, eggy flavor that's the perfect conclusion to a Chinese meal.
