Ever wondered what it feels like to dine in the lap of Chinese sophistication without actually hopping on a plane? Well, fasten your seat belts, restaurant aficionados, because I'm about to take you on a digital tour of Manila's hidden treasure - the Red Jade. 

 

With a flamboyant twirl, I glide across the polished tiles of the ground floor, my eyes on a mission for the nearest restroom. But lo and behold, my quest is delightfully interrupted by the charming allure of Red Jade. Its facade whispers tales of culinary wonders, and I'm utterly captivated.

A cheeky thought pirouettes through my mind—I simply must capture this moment. But wait! Manners first, my inner voice chides. Despite the hour being well past the lunchtime rush, with the restaurant now as quiet as a library, I remind myself to seek the blessing of the establishment. After all, it's not every day that one encounters such an enchanting scene devoid of the usual dining crowd.

 

With the place free from the hustle and bustle of hungry patrons, I'm spared the awkward dance of dodging glances while aiming my camera lens. Permission is graciously granted by the staff, and I can't help but feel a surge of triumph. You see, I'm not one to boldly request such favors, especially without having savored their offerings. Shyness is a cloak I wear all too well. 

But that day, I mustered the courage to step out of my comfort zone. And for that, I silently congratulate myself. Oh yes, a self-administered pat on the back is most certainly in order. Snap goes the camera, capturing not just the image of Red Jade, but also the moment I danced with bravery.

Nestled within the historic Manila Hotel, Red Jade is no stranger to the limelight. It's where traditional Chinese dishes don't just get served; they're transformed into edible masterpieces. Think of it as a place where your favorite Chinese takeout gets a Cinderella makeover – and boy, does she go to the ball.

Imagine walking into a restaurant where every nook and cranny is adorned with the most vibrant shades of red you've ever seen. It's like stepping into a world where the color red has taken over, in the most fabulous way possible. You'll feel like you've stumbled upon a secret hideout for Chinese cuisine enthusiasts, where the redness is a symbol of the fiery flavors that await you.

My adventure didn't quite extend to a taste test, but oh, what a visual feast it was! Imagine stepping into an artist's palette where the color red reigns supreme. They could make the Mona Lisa feel self-conscious about her lack of color.😄 Prepare to be welcomed by jade murals that could easily be the envy of art galleries worldwide. Red Jade isn't just a restaurant; it's a love letter to the rich tapestry of Chinese heritage, sealed with a chopstick kiss. And if you thought your grandma's china was fancy, wait till you see this place.

I've heard through the grapevine (or should I say, bamboo vine?) that Red Jade's menu is a symphony of flavors. From timeless classics to fresh-off-the-boat seafood and handcrafted Dim Sum that's as delicate as a butterfly's wing, there's something to tickle every palate. And for those special occasions, like the upcoming Lunar New Year on February 10th, it's a venue that promises to add an extra sparkle to your celebrations.

Whether you're flying solo or bringing your entourage, Red Jade caters to all. They've got an A la carte menu for the spontaneous and set menus for parties of four or more. It's the perfect backdrop for a feast fit for an emperor or empress, complete with full jade murals that tell tales of ancient splendor.

Mind Your Manners (and Your Attire)

A quick note on the dress code: Casual wear is the name of the game, but let's not confuse casual with careless. Leave the housewear and gym gear at home, swap the slippers for shoes, and keep the swimwear for the beach. After all, you're dining in style!

Red Jade, a crimson-hued, and with its stunning ambiance and inviting atmosphere, this place is a feast for the eyes. From 11 AM to 3 PM for lunch and 6 PM to 10 PM for dinner, Red Jade rolls out the red carpet for you every single day.

While I can't personally vouch for the food yet, the look of this place is enough to captivate anyone. If you're looking for a special occasion or simply want to indulge in a memorable dining experience, You might want to try the Red Jade. This isn't your run-of-the-mill Chinese eatery; this is an establishment so steeped in shades of red that it'll make your eyes pop. And it's no wonder they've named it the Red Jade – a title as vivid as the experience it promises.

But don't just take my word for it; go see (and taste) for yourself! Treat yourself to an extraordinary adventure at Red Jade and let your taste buds be the judge. Whether it's a romantic date night or a gathering with friends, this restaurant appears to have the potential to leave a lasting impression.
