Makati - Just a short walk from my hotel was the Glorietta Mall and wanted to try good Filippino food - came across this restaurant 'Manga'.

| Everybody's Lumpia |
It looks like a popiah with it's origin from China but taste totally different. Lumpia is a savoury snack made of thin crepe pastry skin called "lumpia wrapper" enveloping a mixture of savoury fillings, consists of chopped vegetables or also minced meat. Verdict: Nah, not my taste.

| Pork Sinigang |
Sinigang is a sour soup native to the Philippines; they used tamarind - which we called 'assam'. This dish was not sour at all - the pork is tender and tasty.
 |
| Bistig Bangus Belly |
The dish came and it was extremely oily, with the milk fisk belly soaked in it. This is known as one of Filippino's favourite dish. But this particular dish looks horrible unapetitising - I have to drained off the oil to eat the meat.
