The Dragon Court restaurant, nestled within the Manila Prince Hotel in Ermita, Manila City, has reopened its doors once again. The event was an intimate yet grand affair, featuring a traditional dragon and lion dance that set the stage for a festive lunchtime.

The vibrant colors and graceful movements of the performers captivated the audience, immersing them in a world steeped in Chinese culture.
