  • Manam at the Triangle in Makati: Celebrating Filipino Flavors
  • Manam continues to celebrate Filipino cuisine in bold and creative ways with Manam at the Triangle, its flagship branch located in the breezy grounds of Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati. Launched in the brand’s 10th year, this special location was designed to be more than just a dining destination—it’s a space created for milestones, celebrations, and shared moments centered around the comforting flavors Filipinos love.

    Manam at the Triangle recently marked a proud milestone by being awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a distinction from the first-ever MICHELIN Guide in the Philippines. The recognition celebrates restaurants whose honest flavors and generous spirit transform everyday dining into something quietly exceptional—a philosophy that Manam has upheld since day one. The award serves as a meaningful reminder of why the brand continues to do what it does: serve Filipino food that feels familiar, heartfelt, and deeply satisfying.

    The flagship branch elevates the familiar with dishes that feel both nostalgic and exciting. One of its standout exclusives is the Beef Cheeks Tagalog (Php 1,795)—a refined yet playful take on a Filipino classic. Angus beef cheeks are slow-cooked until irresistibly tender, absorbing a savory citrus sauce infused with whole cloves of garlic. Rich, comforting, and deeply flavorful, it’s a dish that highlights Manam’s ability to honor tradition while offering something new.

    Exclusively available at the flagship is the Midnight Beef Ribs Adobo (Php 675)—beef ribs slow-cooked in soy sauce, coconut vinegar, and red wine, finished with garlic clove confit. Deeply savory and aromatic, it’s the kind of dish that feels perfect for long dinners and late-night conversations.

    Another well-loved favorite is the Sinigang na Beef Short Rib & Watermelon (Php 295), a staple based on an original family recipe. The tangy broth, paired with succulent beef short ribs, is brightened by the subtle sweetness of watermelon, creating a refreshing balance of flavors that has made it a consistent crowd favorite.

    Set amid the greenery of Ayala Triangle Gardens, Manam at the Triangle offers a relaxed yet celebratory atmosphere that complements its food-driven philosophy. With its Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, exclusive dishes, and thoughtfully crafted Filipino favorites, the flagship stands as a defining chapter in Manam’s journey—where tradition, generosity, and everyday excellence come together on the table.

    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.
