Mannang, SM Mall of Asia

Clockwise: Lemon Iced Tea, Sinigang na Corned Beef, Bicol Express, Oyster cake & Mannang's Fried Rice

One of my friends suggested eating at Mannang because according to him, they serve good food which is affordable as well. I already saw this restaurant but having second thoughts because the interior looks well and I expect that the food that they serve there was expensive and it was like a fine dining one.

We visited the Mannang at the SM Mall of Asia and it was beside Mann Hann. My friend told us that these two restaurants are owned and managed by two siblings so their stores are passable through each other and you can order from the other store as well. Interiors are different from the other as well as their menu because Mannang caters more on the Filipino cuisines and Mann Hann caters more on Chinese or some Asian cuisines.

We ordered their famous Sinigang na Corned Beef, 2 order of Mannang's Fried Rice, 2 orders of Bicol Express, Oyster cake and a litre of Lemon Iced Tea.

The iced tea was served first and then followed by the sinigang which was served in a pot lit over a candle and the Bicol Express followed and of course the Oyster cake. Then when everything was already there, there was silence because we are very hungry that time.

We just gave our comments about the sinigang because it was indeed very delicious, my friend thought that it was a regular corned beef that was sold in tin cans, which are available at the supermarkets but it was a different one because it's the real thing. It was so flavourful and it is just right for our tastsbuds.

This is their version of fried rice which like the beef chowfan of Chowking, but this one is better and for sure if you eat here with a child they would love it. We ordered 2 because we have 3 viands and there was already a scarcity of it. The Bicol Express is topped over a grilled eggplant and the spiciness of it is bearable. The oyster cake was so weird because it tasted like you are eating a lumpia together with a biko, it was stuffed with vegetables. I was about to order an oyster because it has a star in their menu, which means that it was one of their specialty but the waiter recommended the oyster cake. We thought it was the same with the oyster alone but it was totally different. It was yummy while its hot but not totally recommendable. But if you are curious, you might like to try it. c",)
