Jing Ting
Unlike most Chinese restaurants in the Metro, Jing Ting focuses on the cuisine of Northern China, where meat, spices and wheat take center stage.

Jing Ting is also one of the few Chinese restaurants that serve Home-Style Sweetened Pumpkin Pastries, a crunchy-on-the-outside-gooey-on-the-inside treat that ends the meal on a sweet note.
Jing Ting is located at City of Dreams Manila. For inquiries, call (632) 800 80 80.
