Start your meal with Pamana’s innovative appetizer like the Crispy Adobong Pusit Calamares (Php 365) or crunchy yet chewy fritters coated in black squid ink. These bites are best enjoyed with a spicy vinegar dip on the side.

Then, try its Pancit Canton (Php 330), a medley of meat, seafood, and vegetables tossed in a soy-based sauce that clings to each strand of the perfectly cooked noodles. The addition of fish crackers on top adds an extra layer of crunch and a subtle seafood flavor that complements the savoriness of the dish.

One Filipino staple food and definitely one of the specialties here in Pamana is the Original Krispy Pata (Php 715) a succulent and sinful crispy bite with tender meat inside.
