Fine Dining at Hyatt Hotel and Casino Manila

This weekend, let me indulge you in some fine food. This was the full course dinner that I had when I attended a wedding reception early this month. (You may check out my OOTD for that event here.) The food was too pretty so I couldn't resist taking pictures and sharing them with you!

Events at Hyatt

Menu

Bread rolls, butter

 
Salad of witloof and pear
Walnut brioche and raspberry vinaigrette dressing

Truffle green pea soup

Pan-seared mahi-mahi, pumpkin mash, dill sauce

Brie-filled chicken breast
Sauteed spinach, cashew nut and creamy polenta

Passion fruit bavarois

As for the beverages served, I wasn't able to take a photo of. Guests had iced tea and either freshly brewed coffee or tea served at the end of the meal.



As for the kids, they were served a separate set of dishes consisting of spaghetti, fries, skewered chicken, and chocolate cake for dessert.

I am used to attending wedding receptions that serve the traditional Chinese dishes, so this was a nice, refreshing change. Initially, I thought that the serving size of fine dining dishes were pretty small, but at the end of the meal, I was so full and satisfied. The dishes look good, and taste even better. Each dish had that beautiful blend of flavors and textures that tickles your palate. If you're planning to host an event in Hyatt Hotel, these are just some examples on how their dishes are a feast to the senses.

Love,
Helen

    1. It's slightly sweet and salty with a gritty texture. Very unique for a soup, but not my favorite. I still prefer good old mushroom soup. :)

    1. I used flash! Haha! But my camera is dead now hence the lack of updates. I will look for a new one tomorrow. :)

    2. But when I use flash most of the time the picture gets exposed, especially if it's a close-up. :/ Aww time to say goodbye to your loyal camera..

    3. I change the settings of my camera, sometimes naka night mode, or whatever works. Trial and error lang, I take lots of shots and delete those that I don't like after. Yes, I got a new one na! Still a point and shoot digicam. :)

  6. Everything looks fancy and tasty. I've never attended a wedding that didn't serve Chinese food. This one's really different. Too bad the cake was just for kids. It looks yummy. =)
