  • UPDATED: This restaurant is CLOSED as of January 15, 2019.

    In Makati City, there are varieties of restaurants lined up on Jupiter Street. However, there is one restaurant that stand-out the most because of its noticeable sign that says, “Lutong Macau.”

    This restaurant is already in its 8th year and still continues serving authentic Cantonese cuisine, as well as Western and Chinese food. Its veteran chef, who has been cooking for 36 years, is the one who is responsible for Lutong Macau’s menu. In addition, the taste of its dishes is quite unique, a flavor that you will only find in this restaurant.

    The first dish that Lutong Macau’s chef recommended is the ‘Seafood Egg White Fu Young’ (P300), which looks like salad at first glance. It’s a delicacy that is made from scallops, shrimp, crab, and sprinkled with brown powder. Overall, Seafood Egg White Fu Young gives off a refreshing flavor and it is also low in cholesterol, making it a healthy food.

    Next is the western style dish, Baked New Zealand Clams with Garlic Butter Cheese Sauce (P300). This dish has a creamy, irresistible taste and it is a perfect to eat with beer.

    Steamed Cabbage Stuffed with Seafood Roll (P300) is another remarkable item of this restaurant! Ham and scallops are wrapped in cabbage, making it the seafood version of Cabbage Rolls.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
