Nikkei is the first Peruvian-Japanese<\/strong> sushi bar in Manila headed by Argentinan Chef Christian Cejas. \u201cNikkei\u201d is a term that describes Peruvian cuisine culturally inspired by the Japanese who started to migrate to Peru in the 19th century and is now becoming the latest food trend in Europe. It\u2019s for<\/strong> adventurous eaters who love to try new cuisines. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people looking for big servings. We recommend<\/strong> the Salmon Belly Nigiri, Miso Kurobuta, Seared Tuna, Kobi Nigiri Sushi and Parmesan Scallops. Our insider tip<\/strong> is snag a seat at the counter and see Chef Christian at work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mama Lou\u2019s Italian Kitchen is one of the South\u2018s biggest neighborhood secrets, but because good restaurants can\u2019t hide forever, it is now a foodie\u2019s destination for authentic Italian<\/strong> eats. It\u2019s for<\/strong> families and children who enjoy eating in a homey setting. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who don\u2019t like to brave the Southern commute (but good news, they\u2019ve already opened a branch in UP Town Center). We recommend<\/strong> the Risotto Tartufo Funghi, Spaghetti Seafood Olio and Pizza Tabarnes. Our insider tip <\/strong>is that you may request to have one pizza in two halves – each with a different flavor.<\/p>\n

Your Local is a neighbourhood bistro serving modern Southeast Asian <\/b>dishes. Opened by Chef Denny Antonino and Nicco Santos, the restaurant has a hipster meets industrial vibe and serves all day brunch together with their standard menu. It\u2019s for<\/b> yuppies at lunch time and everyone at dinner. It\u2019s not for <\/b>people who are looking for quick Asian takeouts. We recommend<\/b> the Lamb Rendang and Torched Salmon Donburi and their value-for-money 24 Hour Sous Vide Corn Fed USDA Choice Beef Short Rib. Our insider tip <\/b>is to hop over to Yardstick<\/a> after dinner for coffee through their revolving wall partition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Le Petit Souffle is a French and Japanese-inspired cafe <\/strong>from the Tasteless Group (of Hole in the Wall, Scout\u2019s Honor, Bad Bird, Wrong Ramen, etc). They serve modern dishes crafted with flavors and precision of Japanese and French cuisines. It\u2019s for <\/strong>anyone with adventurous tastebuds. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who are on short meal breaks. We recommend<\/strong> you try their French Toast, Foie Mac n Cheese, Squid Ink Rice, then cap off with their souffl\u00e9s and matcha dessert selections. Here\u2019s an insider tip<\/strong>: Always watch out for Chef Miko\u2019s new dishes and desserts. Learn how to make the Matcha Red Bean Souffl\u00e9 Pancake in 5 easy steps here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Asakusa is a modern Japanese restaurant specializing in all kinds of tempura. It’s for Japanese food addicts who can’t get enough of this iconic dish. It’s not for those who try to avoid deep fried food. We recommend the Emperor Set<\/strong>, Salmon Maki<\/strong>, Chawan Mushi<\/strong>, and Tempura Udon<\/strong>. Insider tip<\/strong>: You can actually choose the Make Your Own Tempura: Choose your tempura (black tiger prawn, scallops, kani or zucchini), your side order, and the sauce. Check out other new restaurants at The Grove here.<\/p>\n

Basil is Katipunan’s once-secret gem that serves authentic Thai cuisine<\/strong> in a beautiful garden-inspired house designed by the owners who are both plant and art enthusiasts. It’s for<\/strong> couples looking for a relaxing way to enjoy good Thai cuisine in a gorgeous setting. It’s not for<\/strong> barkadas<\/em> looking for a beer-heavy boys’ or girls’ night out. We recommend<\/strong> the Tom Yum, Spicy Wagyu Beef Short Ribs, and Crispy Garlic and Pepper Pork Chops. Our insider tip<\/strong> is to book them only for either lunch or dinner: no merienda,<\/em> because they pause their dining service from 2-6pm.<\/p>\n

Hai Chix & Steaks is a restaurant where East meets West under one roof. It is an Asian fusion<\/strong> restaurant specializing in steaks and Hainanese chicken. It\u2019s for<\/strong> everyone craving for some Asian and American specialties without having to visit 2 different restaurants. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> vegetarians. We recommend<\/strong> their bestselling US Angus Ribeye and the Hainanese Chicken Rice. Our insider tip<\/strong> is to have your steaks cooked medium. (P.S., We heard their red velvet ice cream is a must try.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
