The question "Is mapo tofu curry?" burned into my mind, and I felt like I had to eat mapo tofu today. Although mapo tofu uses spices, it doesn't use turmeric, cumin, coriander, etc., so it's more like a Sichuan-style curry, but not really a curry. ) are now full of vacant rooms, and the number of Chinese people has decreased, and they don't come back even after the Chinese New Year. Now, I wrote before about how Manila's Bay Area is becoming a new Chinatown, but the building next to where I live (where you could see Chinese prostitutes changing in the waiting area) is now full of vacant rooms, and the number of Chinese people has decreased, and they don't come back even after the Chinese New Year. And my favorite Chinese restaurant for Chinese people in Manila went out of business. I have to develop another Chinese restaurant with only Chinese characters one by one. The mapo tofu at local Chinese restaurants in the Philippines is somehow sweet, just like the Chinese in Japan. As someone who prefers Indian curry, I would like to have the mapo tofu Sichuan style with a spicy kick of Sichuan pepper if possible. "Come to think of it, the mapo tofu at the high-end Chinese restaurant in City of Dreams (Casino) was solid, even though it was a Cantonese restaurant." I remembered this and decided to go there. This restaurant, with the cool name Crystal Dragon, is a sister restaurant of Jade Dragon, a three-star Michelin restaurant in Macau. Because the Macau restaurant is three stars, it is difficult to get a reservation and the prices are high. However, the crispy pork topped with caviar was quite impressive. The sister restaurant in Manila is located on the UG floor of the NUWA Hotel, a gambler's favorite in the City of Dreams. This is a junket area, and there are no Chinese restaurant advertisements, so it is very difficult to find. Therefore, although I personally think it is the best Chinese restaurant in Manila, it is always empty. If you show your casino membership card, you can get discounts and even use points. Taking advantage of the fact that the place is empty, I often use it as if it were a Chinese set meal restaurant, even though it is a high-end Chinese restaurant. I ordered only fried rice and mapo tofu. Today's order The fried rice was so impressive that it was in my personal top 5, including Hong Kong and Macau. The mapo tofu was a little tasty. The fried rice was 700 pesos and the mapo tofu was 450 pesos, and I used points for the mapo tofu, so I paid 700 pesos. If I didn't use the points, it would be just under 3,000 yen, which is expensive, but I'm satisfied with the taste as good as a high-end Michelin three-star restaurant, so I keep coming back. By the way, the portion is about two servings. Even if a few people order sweet and sour pork or a BBQ platter, it seems to be about the same price as a Japanese izakaya, so I think it's a pretty good deal for a high-end Chinese restaurant. There are many high-end Chinese restaurants in Manila, and they are usually included in hotels and casinos. The Chinese food at other casinos such as Okada, Solaire, and Newport World is not that great, but as for Okada, the fried rice at Okada Dining in the VIP area, run by a chef that Chairman Okada recruited from the Four Seasons in Hong Kong, is an exception and delicious. The photo was taken during the COVID-19 pandemic and is served in a bento box. Of the other Chinese food in hotels, Conrad's China Blue was good. Same name as the one in Shiodome.
