Relax and get cozy with a tummy warming dish to combat a storm of stress and worries to come.
Soup, dating back in history was first advertised as the cure to physical exhaustion, for reasons such as giving a comforting allure to one’s senses, either pre-empted by the aroma of spices or the boiling of stock, or it could be the simple yet attractive presentation, but the taste of the seasoned warm liquid is what we relish most of all.
Thick or clear, soups are a staple in every restaurant served as starters and sometimes listed as their main dishes. Below are our soup recommendations for every discerning palate.

Corned Beef Sinigang – Sentro 1771
A culinary twist on the Filipino sampaloc (tamarind) stew having cooked chunks of corned beef rather than the usual meat. Together with short ribs and vegetables, it is served in a palayok (clay pot) with a candle underneath to maintain its’ warmth, with the sourness of the soup adjusted to one’s liking by offering a taste test after placing an order.

Congee – Tim Ho Wan
Keeping things simple, Tim Ho Wan’s take on the famed Asian rice porridge is added with lean meat, century and salted eggs for extra taste. It is already satisfying enough for a meal but to best enjoy it, order side dishes to get a longer dining experience.
