Summer Palace

Intercontinental Makati's refined Cantonese venue, Summer Palace has built its reputation on Manila's finest XO sauce, impeccable seafood preparation, and a private room program that accommodates some of the city's most important business dinners.

The kitchen's specialties include abalone prepared three ways, bird's nest soup (seasonal), crispy roast pork (siu yuk), and whole Cantonese-style steamed fish. The dim sum lunch service on weekends draws a loyal following from Makati's Chinese-Filipino community.

Chef Lam, a Hong Kong native with decades in luxury hotel Chinese kitchens, maintains the exacting Cantonese standards that have made Summer Palace a Makati institution.
