  • Passion at Maxims Hotel: Authentic Cantonese favorites
  • Cantonese is one of China’s most celebrated cuisines. It is a cuisine that’s sought-after in various places around the world because of its well-balanced flavors that speaks in every Cantonese dish.

    Passion, the signature Cantonese restaurant in Resorts World Manila, is nothing short of grand. The grandness of the place immediately tells you that this is a fine-dining restaurant perfect for an exquisite Cantonese experience.

    Deep Fried Lapu-Lapu in Pomelo Sauce (Php 300/100g)

    Aside from their best-selling Peking Duck, Passion takes pride of these other dishes that have become favorites among their loyal customers. If you wish to visit for the first-time, make sure to try their Deep-Fried Lapu-Lapu in Pomelo Sauce. The crispiness of the Lapu-Lapu (grouper) perfectly complements the piquant pomelo sauce which made it even tastier. It was truly juicy and flavorful, especially if you like tangy dishes.

    Beef Cube in Black Pepper Sauce with Broccolli (Php 730)

    Another favorite is the Beef Cube in Black Pepper Sauce, made with tender beef cubes in savory black pepper sauce.  It’s best eaten altogether with the perfectly-cooked broccoli and chopped onions. If you like prawns, we recommend you order their Wok-Fried Salted Egg Prawns that’s on the slightly salty side, but is definitely packed with rich flavors.

    Wok Fried Salted Egg Prawns (Php 1,300)

    Passion also has elegant function rooms (each with its own restrooms) perfect for a more intimate dining.  For more information, see details below.

    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.
