This hidden gem is home to a 20-seater brick and mortar adorned with red walls, hardwood themed furniture, and finished off with gold fixtures and accents. You can say that Templo looks like a temple in its own right.
Fun Fact: There's an entire glass case wall with trinkets and paraphernalia from China and it's all for sale!
Templo is a small restaurant with an impressively long menu. On it you’ll find familiar flavors like Salt and Pepper Squid, Hot and Sour soup, and Orange Chicken, but there are also some more unique gems like Halibut with Taoso, Golden Squid Ink Hakaw, and Pork Intestine in Chili Oil to name a few.
Golden Squid Ink Hakaw
Pork Xiao ‘mai
While the owners aren’t from Sichuan themselves, they were inspired by their numerous trips to the province to bring more of the spicy cuisine to Manila. In no way are they claiming to be an authentic Sichuan restaurant.
Dry Pork Dan Dan Mien
Fun Fact: Commonly pronounced as 'se-chu-an', the accurate pronunciation is 'seech-wan'
Bokchoi
Fried Pigeon
The team behind Templo has modernized and created fusion recipes out of some classic Chinese fares like hakaw, salt & pepper dishes and salted egg flavors. Trust us when we say that they don’t disappoint!
Yin Yang Fried Rice
Szechuan Saikoro Beef Sausage
Templo’s base flavor is definitely Sichuanese, but they’ve experimented and incorporated things like gold, wagyu beef, kurobota pork, and squid ink.
Salt & Pepper Squid
Insider Tip: Sichuan food is known to be spicy but you can customize spice levels at Templo. Just tell the staff!
Grape Slush with Jelly
This type of jelly flakes is typically found in savory dishes but templo through it would be a nice gulaman alternative and it definitely gives it a more oriental spin!
Templo’s Signature Milk Tea
In addition to a unique set of inspired drinks, Templo’s quaint bar also holds a vast selection of western drinks, alcohol, and Chinese drinks. With a closing time of 11pm, it’s a great place to unwind and have a night cap before heading home.
For dessert, you might be intrigued by their milo, buttermilk, or avocado coated ice cream. If you’re looking for a refreshing Chinese lunch or dinner, we highly recommend making the trip to find Templo.
