MANAM โ A Meal To Remember (and re-order ๐คญ)
My family finally tried MANAM for the first time โ and for the most part, this Filipino comfort cuisine did not disappoint! ๐ฅ๐ด โ Pork Tocilog (Small โ โฑ305): Surprisingly generous serving! Juicy tocino, sweet caramelized onions, and the egg was perfectly cooked too. Sulit for its size! 7.5/10 โ Sinigang na Baboy sa Sampaloc (Kasim) (Small โ โฑ255): Now this was comfort in a bowl. The sourness hit in all the right places, the pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and YES โ one-time free refill on the soup!! 8.5/10 โ Beef Belly Bulalo (Small โ โฑ325): Umami overload in the best way. Flavorful broth, marrow that melts, and tender beef chunks that make you stare at your bowl in disbelief. Soup refill couldnโt come fast enough ๐ 9/10! โ House Tofu Sisig (Small โ โฑ210): Sadly not for me ๐ The calamansi really overpowered everything, so if you like your sisig super sour, this might be your thing! The tofu was nice and crispy though, and topped with both fresh + fried green chilis. 4/10 (I still prefer my own recipe! ๐คญ) โ Crispy Pork Kawali (Small โ โฑ265): Okay listen. This?? One of the best pork kawali Iโve ever had (aside from my Momshโs ofc). Fall-apart tender, juicy pork with skin thatโs impossibly crispy! Solid 10/10. Get. This. โ Pancit Bihon (Medium โ โฑ350): A safe classic. Not super bold in flavor, but the toppings were generous and the noodles were perfectly cooked. 6/10 โ Garlic Fried Rice (Large โ โฑ285): No complaints. Flavorful, fluffy, and the garlicky goodness tied everything together. 10/10. Would eat a plate of this on its own ๐ ๐ฌ How about you? I'd love to hear about your favorite dish! ๐
Crispy Pork Kawali (Small)
Price โฑ265Worth itFall-apart pork belly with skin that crunches like a dream. Juicy, tender, and dangerously addictive. One of the best on the table!
Sinigang na Baboy sa Sampaloc โ Kasim (Small)
Price โฑ255Worth itBright, bold, and comfortingly sour in the best way. Tender pork slices in a rich sampaloc broth make this a rainy-day favorite. Donโt skip the soup refill!
Beef Belly Bulalo (Small)
Price โฑ325Worth itA cozy umami bomb of tender beef, buttery bone marrow, and deeply flavorful broth. The kind of dish youโll want a second (and third) refill of.
