Jasmine at New World Makati Hotel Unveils Refreshed À La Carte Menu
New World Makati Hotel’s signature Chinese restaurant brings together tradition, contemporary technique and locally sourced Philippine ingredients in its refreshed à la carte selection.
There is something comforting about returning to a favorite restaurant and finding the classics you love still there—only now with a few new reasons to come back.
At Jasmine, the signature Chinese restaurant of New World Makati Hotel, that sense of familiarity meets something fresh with the introduction of its refreshed À La Carte Menu. The new selection reimagines traditional Chinese cuisine through contemporary techniques, refined presentation and thoughtfully selected ingredients.
Master Chef Brandon Ng
Curated by Master Chef Brandon Ng, also known as Chee Kin Ng, the menu strikes a balance between time-honored Chinese cooking techniques and the changing tastes of today’s diners. Seasonal ingredients, modern Chinese dining trends and guests’ growing appreciation for authentic yet innovative flavors all play a role in the refreshed selection.
For diners looking for their next Makati food destination, Jasmine’s new menu offers plenty to explore—from Peking duck and inventive dim sum to comforting rice dishes and playful desserts.
Tradition with a local connection
Beyond introducing new dishes, Jasmine is also putting greater emphasis on where its ingredients come from.
Guided by New World Hotels & Resorts’ purpose of “creating a future where people and places enrich one another,” the restaurant works with local farmers, fisheries and producers from different parts of the Philippines.
The menu incorporates fresh vegetables from the Cordillera region, Bicol chili peppers, salted fish from Negros, and sustainably sourced seafood from Palawan. Through these partnerships, Jasmine brings local provenance into its Chinese culinary identity while helping support regional communities.
It is a thoughtful detail that gives the refreshed menu another layer: while its culinary roots remain unmistakably Chinese, some of the ingredients tell stories much closer to home.
What’s new on the table
Among the refreshed menu’s highlights are dishes designed to combine refined technique, bold flavors and modern presentation without losing the essence of familiar Chinese favorites.
The meal can begin with Crispy Bean Curd with Salt and Pepper or the restaurant’s Imperial Peking Duck, served two ways.

More than what’s on the plate
Jasmine’s appeal has long extended beyond its food. Its elegant yet welcoming dining room makes it equally suited for a family gathering, a business lunch in Makati, an intimate dinner or a special celebration.
To complement the refreshed food menu, guests can also order Jasmine’s signature cocktails, including the Jasmine Bloom and Xiang Máo Drop, alongside a carefully curated selection of wines and premium teas.
It is this balance of tradition and creativity that makes Jasmine worth rediscovering. The familiar comforts of a classic Chinese meal remain at the heart of the experience, while contemporary techniques, locally sourced ingredients and imaginative new dishes give diners something fresh to look forward to.
And in a city where dining choices are constantly changing, sometimes the most interesting new table is one that has been part of Makati all along.
