Manam - Houston

My friend recommended me to try, so we went on our last day before flying back to Hong Kong. My husband and myself got seated without waiting (Yay! The servers here are just wonderful, good ambience and the menu offers a wide selection. We ordered small portions of watermelon sinigang, grilled king prawn, laing, chicken skewers, sizzling bangus belly, crispy chicken wings in caramelized patis sauce, small bowl of rice which is also good for sharing, ube pandan with sago and mango pomelo with sago shake. Everything we ordered are so good. Sadly we have to skip dessert as we are so full already that we decided to do a quick hike returning to our hotel. Manam is now our absolute favorite place to go. #MMcookingdiva

Most of the time, we need to wait in line for dinner. A small rice serves 1 person according to the menu, but for us, 2 people can share it with an order of soup, sisig, etc. You'll definitely need more rice if you get 2 or more viands, but this is how we usually order here: Quick Bite-style. We prefer Pork Sisig over Corned Beef Sisig because we seek crunchy fun! The beef in our soup (with the watermelon) is soft with a very satisfying serving size.

Service and food was beyond excellence. This is so far the best filipino cuisine I have had. I will have to find one in the U.S. but it might be a shot in the dark.

Was initially disappointed with the service but I would like to commend their attending manager, Adrian, for making up for it big time. I really felt his genuine concern for the customers. What he did convinced me to patronize the restaurant more. Their crispy sisig by the way is my new favorite. :D

Although Covid19 is now synonymous with quarantine or staying home, we can still enjoy food from our favorite restaurants thanks to GrabFood , Lalamove or Food Panda . Or so we thought. Tried Grabfood starting at 1030 am . Guess what , our effort is all for nil. Trying to get a driver until 1130 was absolutely frustrating and impossible. We just had to give up and make do with Spam and eggs for lunch.
