Chinese favorites with a French flair.
The best Chinese restaurants in Manila are old brick and mortars that have been running since the 70’s; they’re packed with massive round tables, red table cloths, lazy susans, and are always packed full of families and roaming dimsum carts.
TuanTuan is an exception. The Chinese Brasserie serves Hong Kong comfort food in a French inspired ambiance that elevates the dining experience.
In the 1960’s, there was a family run restaurant called Mui Garden that gained popularity in Hong Kong because of their special HK-style curry and noodle soup. They served HK comfort food but the curry was their main attraction thanks to its rich and unique flavors.

After 30 years in the business, Mui Garden crossed an ocean and landed on cold Canadian shores. The family put up Deer Garden which brought Mui Garden’s specialties to a wider audience and made a name for itself in the West via the Halibut Noodle Soup.
