Why Travelers Love Manam |
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Busy as usual. We loved the gising gising, because it had a slighlty sweet coconut sauce. The oxtail kare kare was good too, although the meat could have a little more tender. The overloaded bangus was cooked nicely and surprisingly not too greasy. The crispy sisig was a bit too crispy, soke bis were almost too hard. The chicken skewer came very late and burnt on the first try. This place serves filipino cuisine that can be done in a classic way or with a twist and the food was really good. The first dish we had was the crispy pancit palabok. This noodles were crisp and came as a tower. The server then pours the sauce and mix it all up right in front of us. The crispy sisig was also very good and we thoroughly enjoyed that. We also enjoyed the chicharon bulaklak with sinigang floss. The overload garlic bangus belly was had very good flavour. The gising gising was a tad bit too coconut-ty. The watermelon and beef rib sinigang was a little bit too sour for my liking. Overall, very impressed with the dishes here. It was not cheap but it was good food. What we ordered: Crispy Pata Crispy Palabok Sinigang Beef with watermelon Sisig Buko-Pandan Shake Time of Visit : Weekend - lunch time Price : Very reasonably priced for the quality of food they served. Note : We came at around lunch time -so expect that there is a little waiting time for the food to be served. Staff/Customer service : Very accommodating and welcoming.

We came here for merienda/dinner. We ordered their crispy palabok, house crispy sisig and lechon kawali with garlic rice. We enjoyed the food and of course the service of Anton. Highly recommended to everyone.

Nell and Julie assisted us very well. The food was okay. As a sinigang lover who enjoys a really sour taste, the hyped-up sinigang sa watermelon didn’t work for me, haha. It had a sweet-and-sour flavor combination that I didn’t quite enjoy. However, the turon with vanilla ice cream was superb! The kare-kare was also really good. The crispy sisig and tofu sisig were perfect to pair with beer. Everything was served within 10 minutes, except for the chicken wings with a fish sauce-based flavor. It was only a small order (just 3 pieces), but it still took 25 minutes to arrive. As for the coffee with sago shake, we requested for it to be served later, but they brought it out right away—hays. Thankfully, Nell provided excellent assistance, and Julie explained each dish we ordered very well.
