The Manam at the Triangle isn’t your run-of-the-mill Manam Restaurant. Located at the Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati, the flagship store was envisioned as a slower-paced, more refined version of the beloved brand.
To date, it remains to be The Moment Group‘s only branch that accepts reservations and holds a Bib Gourmand distinction from the Michelin Guide.
Apart from that, they also have a roster of exclusive dishes guests won’t find anywhere else. These include larger-format and more premium plates designed specifically for the kind of dining experience the particular location offers.
There’s the Prinilaw, composed of kinilaw of river prawn and its head that’s been fried to get a rich and more concentrated flavor of the tomalley aka liquid fat; a charred and subtly smokey iteration of blistered chopseuy; charcoal-roasted ulang paired with calamansi-dalandan butter; tender beef cheeks that’s served bistek-style with calamansi and garlic cloves; and Piniritong Dapa, a whole fish that’s breaded and fried to a golden brown.
They also have a chicken inasal using a whole spatchcock, lechon manok with your choice from two kinds of gravy—Red Horse Beer or Sarsi, and lechon de leche complemented by kamias rice.
All perfect for sharing, these items will certainly make you want to savor your food long after the office lunch break hours.
Manam Gives Fried Chicken a Sinigang Twist
Manam has long turned traditional comforting dishes into something more memorable. Think sisig that’s made crispy or watermelon in a short rib sinigang. It’s a style that they sure have mastered. The same whimsy applies to their newest dish—the Asim Sarap Fried Chicken.
Inspired by the restaurant’s signature “asim-sarap” flavor profile, each piece is fried to a golden crisp then finished with crunchy garlic breadcrumbs. It is served with a thick and tangy sinigang gravy. On their own, the pieces are deliciously tender and juicy. But eaten with the sauce, the all-time favorite gets transformed into something distinctly Manam.
The Asim Sarap Fried Chicken will be available for a limited time at participating branches starting July 1. Manam at the Triangle is located at the ground level, Restaurants Arcade, Ayala Triangle Garden, Paseo de Roxas corner Makati Avenue, Makati.
