hua yuan brasserie chinoise - hilton manila

once you enter hua yuan, you will certainly feel a 'fine dining' vibe. the ambience is certainly one of the best and it would make you feel really fancy.

we ordered the ones below:
spinach tofu with shredded pork
the emperor's flamed crispy chicken with glutinous rice '40min'
shanghai fried rice
fresh noodles with caramelized shallots
steamed cod fish in chinese aged wine
garlic salt and pepper squid with pork tenderloin
shanghainese braised pork belly with osmanthus flower "hong shao rou"
crispy eggplant pyramid with beef chili sauce
special shrimp dumpling with black truffle
shanghainese pan-fried wanton
double dragon pearl blooming tea
red sugar glutinous rice roll
mango cream, pomelo tapioca

the emperor's flamed crispy chicken has a specific show cooked in front of you where they will use whiskey to light it up in flames.
the shanghainese braised pork belly with osmanthus flower "hong shao rou" was a little chewy? it could be softer and close to "melt in your mouth" goodness, considering it was braised.
the spinach tofu with shredded pork was split evenly for 5 people, which was really convenient. it tasted reallygoodand better than other chinese restaurants.
for the crispy eggplant pyramid with beef chili sauce, it was something new to try andgoodfor those instagram posts/stories! definitely a must try when going here.
the special shrimp dumpling with black truffle was nothing special for its price, it tasted like a normal hakaw and we weren't able to taste the "truffle".
for the fresh noodles with caramelized shallots and shanghai fried rice, they were cooked perfectly and certainly better than outside chinese restaurants.

the service was reallygoodsince we had the blooming tea that can be refilled once you finish the teapot, and the servers were really nice while they joke around and suggest different dishes.

the only portion we were disappointed at was the steamed cod fish in chinese aged wine since it was a little bit expensive but was served on a really small plate. nonetheless, the others were portioned well and a little much more than what we paid for.

for me, you are paying alot for the ambience and "feel" design of the restaurant.
go here when you want to splurge a little on your dinner date or eating out with family but do not expect to become "full" when leaving the restaurant.
eating at hua yuan is certainly a must try experience!

price range is okay for me as this is the fine dining restaurant in a 5 star property.goodserver and just one thing about the photo they uploaded in their official website its different from the actual yee sang they had served. to ensure not mislead to other guest as well. recommend to take down to avoid confusion. came here during cny with group of friends.
overall highly recommended.

date with husband in a fancy chinese restaurant. ambiance is soo lovely. price is a okay not bad. service is good. the hot n sour soup is notgoodfor someone who is acidic. braised pork belly taste yummy but needs to be more soft so it will be not hard to chew. the cod fish in chinese wine is superb! that was my favorite. the rest are allgoodand worth the try.
