Threading the magical performance together is the talented Ms. Jassie completing the magical loop at The Magic Table (for more on The Magic Table preview, see my post Dare To Join The Magic: We've Got Magic To Do At The Magic Table Preview In Grand Hyatt Manila from last year). Adding to the magical vibe is the fact that you will soon be dining in the tallest restaurant in the metro. That's right. At the very top of Grand Hyatt Manila......for a spectacular glimpse of the skyline 66 storeys below. It's impressive sights like this that clearly sets the mood and tone for an evening at The Magic Table. And it's always a good idea to arrive early......as the magic happens way before the show with the spellbinding libations at the bar. Like the Illusion No. 1 (P 710) with its alluring blend of ube mix and sweet pandan syrup with the rum providing a flavorful depth with each soothing sip. Or the mysterious Vanished (P 710), a potent tequila-based libation with strawberry & almond syrup, lemon and milk. One more refreshing sip, and you're ready for a deep dive into the world of magic at The Magic Table of Grand Hyatt Manila. And the show promptly begins at 6:00 pm with a second performance at 8:30 pm from Wednesdays through Sundays. It's time to pick up your wand and don your magical cape and hat. You are welcomed at The Magic Table with a 3D screen projection of acclaimed mentalists Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass. Though not physically present, it's a deliberate element in The Magic Table where the guests and diners are the magicians for the evening. Each guest is given a special envelope containing all the components to perform each magical trick, guided along by Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass projected right on your table. And you'll be amazed just how well they can read your mind in a series of mind boggling tricks throughout the evening despite their physical absence, To complement the sensory dining experience, Grand Hyatt Manila performs a culinary trick of its own with a sumptuous five-course feast with The Wizard's Essential Menu (P 8,500). On its own, it's an impressive menu in itself matching each of the intricate magical tricks of the evening. And consistent with the tone of the evening, the flashing lights introduces the first course for the evening starting with A Spell of the Forest, a beautifully plated first course with Forest and Porcini Mushroom Paté on hazelnut soil, fig, lemon, pistachio and Manuka Honey. The pronounced earthy notes come through......in a visually stunning plated execution followed by the contrasting flavorful hints from the other elements of the dish. The Enchanted Shell with succulent butter poached Hokkaido Scallops delicately draped in a crisp herb crust, sun-dried tomatoes and rich crustacean bisque brings a bold briny sweetness to the palate complemented by a vibrant tartness from the sun-dried tomatoes and deep flavorful notes from the thick seafood bisque. Each element of the dish perfectly complements the other for a well-balanced play on textures and flavors. The Alchemy of the Sea with the succulent briny sweetness of the indulgent Crabmeat and Codfish Brandade is highlighted by its fresh, pure and clean flavors......as another trick blows you away with the clairvoyant talents of Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass. How did they know? You'll soon find out this is a recurring question throughout the evening at The Magic Table. The evening's main course is then served, The Order of Fire with Mulwarra Tenderloin Beef Wellington and savory bone marrow & Café de Paris butter jus with its intense and concentrated notes. The fork-tender Mulwarra Beef Tenderloin is the perfect culinary highlight for the evening as the show reaches its climax. The bar has one more refreshing libation to cap the evening with the Boulevardier, a twist on the classic Negroni with bourbon as the base instead of gin. For dessert, The Magic Table presents a fitting finale to unique dining spectacle with the The Final Illusion, a decadent expression of Chocolate & Hazelnut Spheres, cherry sorbet, chocolate brownie and thick chocolate sauce for the picture-perfect sweet ending. Perfect for families and kids (a special menu for children is also available), The Magic Table at Grand Hyatt Manila brings both the spectacle and entertainment back to dining in the grand style of the prestigious hotel property.
