Called the FooDee Tour, we were taken to each of their restaurants to sample new dishes as well as classic dishes that have been revisited and made better. Read on to know the newest offerings of restaurants like Hawker Chan, Pound, Tim Ho Wan, and even llao llao!
First Stop
Tim Ho Wan
First opened in 2015, Tim Ho Wan remains one of the cheapest Michelin-starred experiences in the Philippines and has now opened their 9th restaurant.
The shrimp dumplings have always been a treat as well as the Chef’s Special fried rice with pork chop, which has now found itself permanently on the menu. Of course we cannot forget about pork dumpling with shrimp as well as the steamed spinach dumpling.
Aside from the dimsum, Tim Ho Wan is equally known for its pork buns with sweet and savory sauce and soft buns. Tim Ho Wan even offers its first pork buns for only 9 pesos for its first 100 customers from September 25-27, 2023!

Hawker Chan
Another Michelin-starred restaurant, Hawker Chan has the distinction of being the first hawker stall to win the prestigious award.
The FooDee tour introduced us to classic dishes like the chicken roast and char siu whose marinade has been perfected and garnered praise for all over the world.
Hawker Chan also unveiled its new menu items like the Laksa that’s perfect for the cold weather, a new fried tofu dish with apple sauce, and pad Thai.

Third Stop
Pound x Flatterie
Finally for the last heavy meal of this gastronomic tour is Pound x Flatterie which first opened in the Philippines in 2016. Known for its burgers, sliders, and poutine, Pound slowly expanded throughout Metro Manila garnering a consistent customer base.
Today, Pound x Flatterie leans more into chicken wings and has turned into a gastropub that serves more menu items while still retaining its quality.
Leaning more into the chicken wings Pound has introduced 6 new hot sauces to spice up the experience, with each level getting spicier and spicier. Play into your Hot Ones Sean Evans dreams with Pound’s new hot sauces.

Final Stop
llao llao
After consuming copious amounts of hot sauce from Pound our mouths were burning. Luckily for us llao llao was right next to Pound with their soothing and flavorful yogurt.
llao llao had a variety of toppings and fruit slices to choose from like the Biscoff crumble, the pistachio sauce, and the mango and kiwi slices!
