Experience the Flavors of Dragon Court: Hakaw, Siomai, Fried Rice, & Beyond
Recently, I was invited to visit Dragon Court Restaurant to sample their food, and I couldn’t resist the temptation! After coming back from Iloilo, I had planned to start a week of cleansing with fruits and veggies, but I quickly realized that I wasn’t quite ready to give up all the deliciousness that Dragon Court had to offer.

I was excited to visit the newly reopened Manila Prince Hotel, and thanks to car-hailing services, I quickly found it near some of Manila’s most popular universities. As soon as I stepped into the lobby, I was filled with nostalgia.
