Tuan Tuan, which means \u2018to put together\u2019, best describes the restaurant\u2019s goal of putting together the best of Hong Kong comfort food<\/strong> in a French brasserie setting. It is a homegrown concept from the Lugang group. It\u2019s for<\/strong> casual but fancy and affordable lunches or dinners.\u00a0It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people looking for dim sum and pastries. We recommend<\/strong>\u00a0the US Premium Beef Rib and Tendon Curry, Braised Ox Tongue, Pork Snow\u00a0Buns, and Salted Egg Custard Snow Buns. Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Don\u2019t go mild on your Laksa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It’s for<\/strong> big\u00a0family gatherings over traditional Chinese cuisine, with set menus perfect for sharing.

First gaining traction in its Rockwell branch, Refinery is a third\u00a0wave cafe\u00a0that serves all-day breakfast and brunch<\/strong> items, international comfort food\u00a0and specialty coffee\u2013but what sets it apart is that it also serves wine and cocktails. It\u2019s for<\/strong>\u00a0ladies who brunch in the area; it\u2019s also\u00a0a solid working spot.\u00a0It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0those who want quick and\u00a0cheap breakfast.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong> the\u00a0Honey and Basil Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Bread Pudding, Shirred Truffled Eggs, Angry Pasta and Orange-Infused Cappuccino.

All the way from Tokyo, Dohtonbori\u00a0is Japan\u2019s #1 okonomiyaki<\/strong> restaurant chain that offers the first cook-your-own okonomiyaki experience in Manila. This is its first branch\u00a0in the Philippines. It\u2019s for<\/strong> foodies who enjoy DIY meals, but don’t worry as the\u00a0servers can also cook for you.
