We decided to eat here after visiting the Oceanarium and Penguins. The place is faving the Manila Bay so we have a nice view and the interiors are very Asian. Service is good as the waiters are attentive (we ate here during off peak so we are not sure if it is the same during peak hours).
The waiter suggested for us to get the set meal for 3 and just add rice and viand if we want. Everything we had are delicious! My sister and Mom who is not a fan of spicy food, loved the Kangkong with sambal sauce. It was my first time to try the Pork Satay and i loved the peanut sauce that comes with it. We also had Lechon Macau, Soy Chicken and Egg soup which are all delicious as well. We just added Salt and Pepper Spareribs and the vinegar is perfect with it. You should also try their Oreo Cheescake! It is just perfect!

PS. Was not able to take a pic of the Salt and Pepper Spareribs.

One of the best restaurant in Manila Ocean Park. Foods are great with reasonable price. Ambience is so sophisticated and nice with lots of businessmen and family who dine in there. The staff are so polite and hospitable. Our son celebrated his birthday there and gave us free mini tiramisu cakes with birthday candle. We felt so special that day because of their warm service. Overall satisfied with the food and service. Will come back here again.

PS. Their blueberry cheesecake is one of the best 😄❤️

Probably my best restaurant experience in terms of hospitality. Been here with my 2kids to celebrate the birthday of my 2nd child. We experienced great service and hopefully if we return again in the coming years in Manila Ocean Park, we can dine here again.
Food - 4/5

I definitely recommend this to anyone!

Makan in Malay terms means “Eat”. We are all fond of eating and it is part of our everyday life. If you have been to Manila Ocean Park, it’s impossible to not notice this Asian Food Village with nice interiors called Makan Makan. We were treated to a lunch full of Asian goodness at Makan Makan for Zomato Philippines Sneak Peek! We tried their best-selling dishes:

Tucked inside the Manila Ocean Park is a restaurant which offers a symphony of asian flavors. Makan Makan Asian Food Village has an extensive menu of Malaysian, Singaporean and other delicacies from the far East. We ordered the Hong Kong style spareribs, the Soy chicken over rice and the Seafood Laksa. The spareribs was good. It had a good amount of chili and the sauce is flavorful. The soy chicken is equally good as it was not too salty and the sauce was perfect. As good as the two dishes were, the best was the seafoid laksa. Broth was spot-on, it was creamy and hearty. The noodles were smooth and a buy chewy. They also filled it with toppings of shrimp, tofu generously. Though there are cheaper alternatives, I think that this is probably the best choice to dine when you visit the park.

Celebrated my mom's bday here. Excellent set of crew! Very nice customer service experience. Serving is a little too little for the price, but good taste.

A quaint place that's definitely been here in the metro for a while BUT still exceeds good quality food and service. You can also get a good view of the bay without the crazy crowd taking a lot of selfies. 😜

We had our Sunday lunch with the family here and all of us were satisfied with our meal. This place offers asian favorites such as phad thai, laksa, roti prata, sinigang, nasi goreng, silken tofu with minced meat and the like. The head waiter proudly boasts that their chefs flew to asian countries to learn how to cook these authentic dishes. The servers were very attentive, makes sure our glasses are always filled with water and our empty plates are cleared out our table. They always roam around to check if you need anything and patiently discuss the food that they offer. We'll definitely come back and try other dishes!

I went to Hotel H2O today to check the hotel and eat here. The food just like the hotel is impeccable in taste, spot on. The char kway teow, hakaw, shrimp manggo salad, satay, sambal squid, pork chop, tofu in a pot, laksa and tom yum were all delicious. The servings are good for 2-3 and reasonably priced.
The place is very asian and opens up into a veranda overlooking Manila bay and world famous sunset.
The air is sanitized because the sea water has been treated this part of the bay which is great! Will definitely come back

Ahhh, Asian food, who isn't crazy about it? Apparently, most of humanity loves Asian food. On CNN's list of the World's 50 best foods, Asia sweeps the top 10 spots.

In Manila, the exotic flavors of Asia come to life at Makan Makan Asian Food Village. During a recent visit to the capital, we dropped in for dinner after spending a stimulating afternoon at historic Luneta Park nearby.

Located at the 2nd floor of the Manila Ocean Park/Hotel H2O, the restaurant features a convergence of Singaporean, Malay, Indonesian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Filipino cuisines in a unique eating place patterned after a vibrant hawker centre. Walk-ins are welcome, so you don't need to be an Ocean Park ticket holder or a Hotel H2O guest to dine here.

Think it's expensive here? Not really. At relatively affordable price points, each dish was expertly prepared, cooked exceptionally well, and served with a generous amount of fresh, zestful ingredients, sauces and spices.

Let's talk about our orders:

• Pork Sinigang (Php 210) - what better way to start off a meal than to savor a soothing bowl of this hot, spicy sour, tamarind-flavored pork broth? Great-tasting, excellent version!

• Satay Pork (Php 250, 10 pcs) - a popular Thai street food, these bright-yellow, fragrant little skewers of savoury, well-marinated meat goes perfectly well with rice. But what really makes the dish stand out is the chili-peanut sauce, an essential satay dip that elevates the taste of barbecue to a whole new level!

• Squid and Shrimp with Broccoli Flower (Php 290) - healthy, nutritious & super tasty, this seafood dish was the star of our dinner table. Bite-size chunks of fresh broccoli mingle with delicate, plump squid & shrimp and tossed in a tangy, spicy blend of soy sauce, chopped garlic, ginger, and chili. Exquisite!

• Chopsuey (Php 220) - the perfect marriage of vegetables and meat! Served in thick soy sauce gravy, strips of sauteed lean pork meat blend with a handful of cauliflowers, baby corns, mushrooms, carrots and cabbages then sprinkled with toasted garlic bits on top.

• Kangkong with Oyster Sauce (Php 175) - kudos to the chefs for transforming this lowly vegetable dish into a culinary masterpiece. To me, this is how kangkong (water spinach) should be cooked, simmered in oyster sauce to add an extra layer of flavor.

Equally delicious were our other orders such as the Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet (Php 225), Deep Fried Spareribs with Salt & Pepper (Php 355) and Pancit Bihon (Php 250).

Courteous, prompt and super attentive, the serving crew were true professionals from start to finish. Overall, our dining experience at Makan Makan was truly delightful, one of the remarkable highlights of our Manila trip. Whether you're a diehard fan of Asian food or simply a cautious eater, Makan Makan is highly recommended to visit.

We Travel Fearlessly

It's a very sweet yet memorable experience. My wife and I spend our entire lunch in this place talking about anything under the sun while satisfying ourselves with the scrumptious meal.

It's pricey but that's when you are paying for the quality of the food, service and ambiance. The food are top-notch and very exquisite.

Will definitely be back for more if we had the chance.

Seafood Laksa & Roti Parantha! Good combo! Enjoyed it much! Laksa was very nicely made. Good ambience, excellent service! You may choose to eat outside overlooking the bay, and you can smoke too :) only if it’s not raining 😂 loved it!

We checked in at Hotel H20 from which their offered complimentary breakfast was at Makan Makan. The restaurant has a nice view. They only offer few food for breakfast but we're still satisfied because of the taste. I especially loved their french bread which I ate after my first plate.

Place is nice and spacious. Parts of the resto reminds me of a food court in Singapore that serves Singaporean, Malaysian, and Indian food. Much like their menu except they also have Filipino classics like Sinigang.

We ordered char kway teow, wanton mami, and satay. Wanton mami tastes like chicken noodles. Char kway teow was ok but missing the spicyness it should have. Satay was just ok.

Service was slow considering there were only a few customers.

Makan Makan first introduced me to the wonders of Asian Food. This gem of a food hall opened my tastebuds to the likes of Laksa, Pad Thai and Rendang. I love how they made Asian particularly good southeast asian dining accessible to the public. They started this and the rest followed and were seeing similar concepts.

If you are craving for Asian Food, Makan Makan is the place to be.
They serve the best tasting Laksa I have tried in Manila, at par with the one I have tried in a hawker in Singapore.
I have tried their Satay and Sweet&Sour Pork, both are really delicious.
Their serving is good for sharing and the price is not as expensive as how I expected.
Will definitely go back for my Laksa fix!

Good ambiance, great service and really great food that doesn't break the bank. We're satisfied. The satay chicken tastes amazing and the thai beef curry is coconut-y, you can tell that the coco milk is fresh and naturally sweet. Totally hit the spot.

"Quality Over Quantity"👍(Lunch Buffet)
We were able to celebrate Mother's day here. Foods' tastes were all great. But I was quite disappointed with the desserts. There were few choices for the desserts.There were also no enough glasses for the drinks..😢 Churros, as what they've always been posting ,were not present during our visit. Quite disappointed. You'll also wait for too long to have your pasta done.There was a live band.👍Pocket-Friendly👌
The view of Manila bay across the restaurant added to a memorable stay with my loved ones.We'll definitely come back.👍☺

We went here today and it was packed to the brim because it's Father's day. The place is on the 2nd level of a hotel, making it accessible to a lot of people, both staying in the hotel and those who just booked a reservation with them.

Food was great. I didn't expect too much at first given the array of food (Asian) but I surprised me. Almost all the dishes are seasoned properly, something most of buffet restaurants overlook because of the volume of customers to be served and food to be prepared. The most unforgettable of our experience though is the warm welcome we received from the staff. From the reception to the servers and cooks. Overall, it was a good experience.

We were able to reserve a booking here through Zomato, Big thanks to Zomato! 👍❤️

Experience: Lunch Buffet is scheduled at 12nn so whether you come early, you still need to wait for 12nn. But, the wait will be truly worth it. They have a talented live band playing Bossa Nova.

Food: They have a limited buffet area. But, every dish is delicately cooked and satisfying to the taste buds. Watch out to these following food:
1. Tom Yum 👍👍👍
2. Spicy Lechon Belly 👍👍👍 (Crunchy and tender)
3. Tofu Salad 👍👍👍
4. Roasted Chicken 👍👍👍

Service: They're fast and attentive. Empty dishes were refilled immediately.

Judgment and Recommendation: Maybe, they could include some of the best dishes around the hawker stalls. Laksa, Hainanese, Milk Tea could be added in the list. The price, food and service are actually sulit.

During our 2 days 1 night stay at Hotel H2O Manila, we had a nice buffet breakfast. The choices of food for Php400 (for extra person) is actually very affordable given for its rate. Different dishes such as Fried na Bangus (Fried Milkfish), Sausage, Roasted Chicken, Omelette, Pancake, and Filipino dishes like Tocino, Longganisa, are available too.

Everything we ate here was good. I especially like the Chicken Satay 🤤🤤🤤 and the Seafood Laksa. My mom and brother said the Yang Chow fried rice was good, as it was "authentic" the lechon kawali melts in your mouth and the skin is really crispy too. So yeah. I love this place and I'm definitely coming back :) Staff was also very maasikaso so yeah, 5.0

I was lucky enough to have a room at Hotel H2O during our annual convention. I wasn't fully able to utilize their facilities during my 3 night stay, but I suggest you treat yourself to an in-room massage if you find yourself in the area. I really enjoyed it!

I had a pretty basic room to myself this time around; I was able to enjoy some quality time for myself in the evenings at least. But one of my colleagues joined me daily for the hotel breakfast at Makan Makan Asian Food Village...

I remember the breakfast buffet being simple during my previous stay at H2O and it was the same for my current visit. The spread occupied one side of the room with a handful of choices for viands. They do offer bread, cereal, congee, salad, and fruits with limited choices. Their egg station stands separately from their the buffet area. Overall, the food quality and service were okay. I like the place better when they are serving up their specialties of Asian cuisine. I suggest you try the satay and their bagoong rice, reqlly good quality for the price...

Its a one stop place for Asian food. Um no pinoy food here hehehe. But yes it's convenient to be able to eat laksa, rotti and curry, bak kut teh, oyster cakes and many more in one place. I haven't had anything I didn't like yet. I like spicy food but I sweat a lot even if just mildly spicy. So every time I go here I bring a small towel hehehe. Drinks are expensive though so I bring my own. There are many more dishes to try so ya I'll be back.

Went here for some change in environment and to try out new dishes. They serve variety of cuisines
ranging from Filipino to Indian, Chinese to Singaporean, etc. It resembled like a food court, each cuisine represented by a station.

We ordered Pork Spareribs, Chopsuey, Roast Chicken, and Molo Soup. Of all the dishes, the most memorable were the spareribs and the molo soup.

The pork cuts were tender, sweet, and melts in your mouth. You can really taste all the spices that went through it especially the anis flavor.

As to the molo soup, the chicken/pork broth was the star of the dish. Peppery and not salty. It was super hot when served so it was an enjoyable treat. It came with generous number of molo which resembled like siomais. So good!

Would definitely go back and try their Indian and other offerings.

I don't really have the hots for hot spicy food but I do love seafood in coconut cream and Laksa Seafood from Makan Makan Asian Food Village is it for me. It's so delicious that I was able to tolerate its level of spiciness. This bowl of noodles with generous amounts of shrimps, tofu, fish cake that's big enough for 2 hungry peeps only costs P230! I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I, a Manileña foodie, have let many years pass by without trying out the food in Makan Makan in Manila Ocean Park. There were many Asian food choices that looked good in this food court. Ex-bf and I also liked their Roti Prata and Nasi Lemak but this really made our night. Can't wait to go back and try their other dishes. Maybe their Cereal Prawns next time? 😊💜💜💜💜💜 #musttryph #makanmakanasiafoodvillage #laksaseafood #manilaoceanpark #foodgram #zomato

What i love about the place was it's over looking the famous Manila Bay and right at the Ocean Park Manila.. putting it together you'll have a fun, excitement and romantic dine in for a couple, family or with your friends, or solo and be one with nature.
Since its located in the heart of ocean park obviously this the best place to dine after those tiring walk and sight-seeing at the oceanrium, museum, sea lions shows and etc..
Mostly they served ASIAN FOODS.. so prepare your palate with those spicy foods, exotic delicacies from the region.
Well the food it is not the stuffs that i would really recommend.. their menus are sort of things that you could probably experiment with.. or if you're fond of tasting new or experiencing something new- might as well consider this place.
Afterall some new experiences is the best way to appreciate things.

[And oh they also serve Filipino, Continental and American food for breakfast (buffet)], just like the one below 😅✌️🔃

I am not very fond of Laksa before, but Makan surely changed my heart and mind! The Thai Green Curry Chicken is worth every cent, I never tire from ordering it. Kudos to the team! Great food and unique ambience. Like, love, two thumbs up!

Eating at this restaurant brings back fond dining memories from Singapore. They have perfectly captured the taste of the dishes. What's nice here is that they have big servings AND they fill the viands with all the ingredients. The servers are very attentive to our needs and are very pleasant to talk too. The place also gives you Asian feels with all the food carts in the middle. All these things coupled with reasonable prices makes the overall experience a great one.

Buffet Breakfast,a compliment while we're staying @h20 Hotel,A Fusion Cuisine is good for me because of wide selection of Asian Foods but maybe its better to have it for lunch or dinner because i usually had light breakfast contrary to what they usually say that everybody should have light dinner and heavy breakfast 😁😉,Hearty breakfast over here!!! #myfooddiary

There is a variety of several cuisines in Makan Makan.

For veggies, we ordered the Broccoli which is obviously blanched and you can see how fresh it is. We are not a fan of such green healthy food but we managed to finish the whole serving willingly.

For seafood, we had the Squid which I believe is Malaysian. The sauce tastes really good although the squid is kind of still a bit tough and chewy. Also, there are way too many onions. But it's good and it's worth ordering; it is one of their best sellers.

For meat, we had Lechon Macau. Can I just say how good the sauce it came with is? And how crunch the skin is. It doesn't have too much fat so you can eat it without guilt. I really really recommend this!

And, we had the Yang Chow Rice. They say it's only good for 2-3 people but I personally think it's good for 3-4 people. Better order fewer quantity, you can always request for additional order. It is delicious.

I liked the food in Makan Makan although it feels wrong to see a lot of people walk by the dining area because the restaurant is not in a private area where it is exclusive for guests who dine. Anyone- even those who are on an educational trip- can pretty much just pass by the area. In addition, the temperature is a bit warm inside and the sun's heat through the glass window.

Nonetheless, customer service is- from a scale of 1 to 10- 20. It goes way beyond my satisfaction; they have provided customer delight. In addition, this is very affordable; similar to the prices of Mann Hann, Lugang, North Park.

I definitely recommend this resto if you are in or near the area. Give it a try and you'll want to come back for a 2nd time- even for a 3rd time too, most likely. :)

having h2o as my second practicum site, made me visit their restaurant. luckily our director is generous by giving us free buffet lunch access. i enjoyed the fish fillet the most, for it's gingery taste and given that it's rich in flavors. would definitely pay them a visit for another happy tummy experience.

Was treated by fiends to try awesome food at Makan Makan. I could not say no to this, so was very excited to give this restaurant a go. Ambiance was pretty awesome but one of the initial highlights was outside, the H2O Pool Lounge & Bar. With a lot of openness and you can simply sit on relaxing couches and chairs, all overlooking Manila Bay. Now back to inside a live band was also playing which mainly occurs on Fridays as an added feature to the restaurant. Staff was very accommodating through out the entire experience which was cool.

Well with all this excitement it's now the food! We tried 3 of their main recommendations and best sellers. First was the #AwesomelyYummy Laksa Prawn (the most expensive of all the laksa's but worth it), wow I personally have laksa as one of my favorite meals and this one did not disappoint. The broth was a little spicy and exactly what is needed for a laksa. Noodles, prawns, tofu, vegetables, chicken and all ingredients where an awesome texture and importantly fresh.

Secondly, the Dimsum Platter which was a mixture of prawns siomai, fried and steamed dumplings. We immediately prepared our own dip so as to taste this deliciously looking dimsum. My favorite among, is the fried dumplings. It was well fried yet keeping the meat and shrimp inside awesomely soft.

Lastly, the famous Hainanese Chicken accompanied by a very large portion of Hainanese Rice. Wow this rice could feed 4 people instead of 2. It was poached chicken served with sauces. The chicken was very tender and once you mix and match the side sauces together even with garlic and a soy based sweet sauce with the chicken well perfection. I also liked the way this meal was presented so check it out on the photos.

I was also treated with a drink that was not on the menu but apparently a favorite of the vise president of the entire establishment of Manila Ocean Park, Hotel H2O and Makan Makan also loves this drink. Simply put, a fresh mango and carrot shake :)

Finally, I can honestly say that foods here are authentic Singaporean and Malaysian, so now you don't need to travel far to experience such authentic foods! Well done MOP - Manila Ocean Park :)

We went to Manila Ocean Park during the weekends and since almost all of the restaurants were full, we triend Makan Makan's lunch buffet. They had only a few dishes but it's okay basing it from the price. My fave was their Seafood laksa. Best soup i've ever tasted!

I had a date one time at Manila Oceans Park. We went to Makan Makan for our lunch. The interiors of the place was good! It pretty much reminds me of the food courts in Singapore. The staff were also well-mannered and they had good knowledge on the food they offer at the menu. Sadly, we wanted to get the Laksa but it was not available. The kangkong was also not available. We decided to get the Sinigang, Oyster Omelett and Hakaw to share instead. The food tasted great and at par with their prices. But we really wanted that Laksa. Maybe the restaurant should ensure the availability of their top selling dishes, especially on weekends.

Discovered this food haven from the time it started ita operation at the Manila Ocean Park.

This resto offers a wide array of asian fusion cuisine to choose from. The menu consists of thai, malay, singaporean, korean, chinese, and pinoy food.

My main favorites include the salt and pepper spareribs, their Sambal squd, and their version of Phad Thai! I could go back to this place over and over :)

The lovely setting beside the vast blue of the Manila Bay gives additional drama and romance to the sumptious dinner.

Highly recommended.

Price is a bit pricey from around 200-400 per cuisine. But if you have the 30% discount from Hotel H2O you will surely ignore the price once you taste their yummy food. It was cooked well and very mouthwatering. Although the amount of serving is a bit off so you might order another viand if you have 4 pax or more.

Found this like a huge walk down if one wants to descend any time and go to the show area from Ocean Park (btw Ocean Park sucks in their ease of navigation, story for another place). You can see the huge kitchen and can also have the bay view from the tables. Tried their best selling sambal squid and was impressed; the sambal that i remembered from banana leaf wasn't this (but maybe the chagrin i experienced at nothing of pomfret being left in deep fried made it difficult to register it in banana leaf). Had amazing mee goreng though the squid sambal made it pale in comparison and having tried it at various places can see it as a dish that i can stomach a bit. I liked the way they presented the ice cream and the fact that an overly tired staff was trying his level best to be nice and attentive. Will give full marks for their service, view and food. Just in case people like me who prefer juices when they say fresh fruit squeeze, it is a squeeze. Delighted!!!

I appreciate the professionalism that employees here displayed today (04/19/15). There was a large volume of people due to company family outing and despite their looks of exhaustion they didn't fail to be accomodating. Also I love their chicken and noodles there excellent taste exclusive for Makan Makan Asian Food Village. However, for 550 per person with a few food options I can't rate it perfect. Maybe they have ran out of foods because we got there at 8:30pm.

For those who visit the Manila Ocean Adventure park complex and you're looking for a great place to eat, then this restaurant inside the H20 hotel is the place for you. Almost all your favorite Asian dishes from laksa, Pad Thai,Roti Prata, Hainanese chicken are cooked to almost perfection. The customer service also is an exception and you expect hotel hospitality once you enter experience this joint. If ever I'm back in this area, I would definitely consider eating here once more.

We ate dinner here as part of our packaged overnight stay in Hotel H2O. The place is packed with hotel and walk-in guests so best if you come ahead of peak dining hours or before your hunger strikes. There is a wide variety of Asian specialties arranged in an open-kitchen in the middle of the restaurant. You may want to check out all the stalls/displays first before you order so you can really get what you want. We had chicken satay (very yummy!) and roti prata to begin with. We also ordered Seared Spareribs to match their specialty rice (i forgot what the rice is called and forgot to take a photo of the spareribs because we were so hungry!). The meals are filling and reasonably priced. Service staff is okay 'though serving time is quite slow.

Went here during a sundate with boyfie to see some fishes in ocean park. And we stopped by to have our lunch here since the ocean view and the ambiance are nice.

The servers are also attentive to our table. But i blame it on my health since i wasn't fully recovered from my sickness so i can't order the food thats to my liking (lots of spices amd spicy) instead i went for their hainanese chicken while my boyfriend ordered the nasi goreng with sate ayam. The singaporean dish tasted more authentic than the indonesian but its still good as well.

Overall, i do feel pleased with the experience and will gladly go back here again.

It's a 5 star ambience with the most affordable price. Tried their laksa for P160 with ocean dining experience. I'm sold! Definitely will come back to bring my family here! Dont expect too much for the authentic taste though. If you're looking a great dining experience after adventure with family at Ocean park, better to come here than to gerris grill or pancake house haha

The food is good! Nothing extraordinary but it is not bad either. The selection is not extensive but just enough. The place is spacious and has a great view of the bay. The place is a bit hot maybe somethings wrong with their air-conditioning unit. My friends and I had breakfast here last Aug 16. The price on Zomato is wrong, P610 is for staying guests only. The cost for walk-ins is P800.00. Not bad at all. I will definitely go back to this place. This is a gem well tucked away. I never imagined a place like this hidden at the back of the Quirino Grandstand.

We ate a buffet breakfast here a year ago and it was quite satisfying. They offered plenty of food variants from pancakes to rice to meat to fish. It was a lovely breakfast except the windows, though. Even if the blinds were down, the sunlight was really strong and it kind of bothered my eyes.

Makan Makan has join the discount voucher and we got to try their breakfast buffet at a price of P450.00 which they wrote that the original price of the breakfast buffet is at P800.00. Below are some of the food but there are still plenty more.

The service was great, food was also great except for 1 somebody forgot to check the soup warmer, my mami soup was cold even the siomai to be added on the soup was cold. They realize their mistake when I advice 1 of their server about it.

I just hope that Zomato has a video upload so that I can share the video of food available in a buffet spread. As we all know there are plenty of food that I might miss.

Tucked away at the second floor of Manila Ocean Park, Makan Makan Asian Food Village deals with super hungry hordes who insanely crave for mixed Asian cuisine, particularly authentic Singaporean, Chinese, Malay, Thai, Indian and Filipino food.

The concept combines typical Singaporean hawker fare which basically consists of a good mix of standalone pushcarts put together featuring different food options that can make you quite dizzy, especially if you don't know exactly what you want. If you've been to Food Republic or Food Opera in Singapore or Hong Kong, you will get a clearer idea and picture the ambiance of Makan Makan more vividly. Why? They are likely the same, except that this localized version has less overwhelming crowd and fewer food stalls.

With so many international food choices on the menu, it was hard for us to decide which ones to order. Finally, we went for my two favorite Singaporean dishes: Laksa (PHp 160) and Char Kway Teow (PHp 175).

Cooked in sweet and savory soy sauce and oyster sauce, the kway teow was neither too oily nor dry for anyone to dislike. In fact, it was really delicious! Ingredients used were slices of fish cake, squid, lup cheong (chinese sausage), bean sprouts and egg. I think this was a Singapore-style char kway teow, a darker and sweeter version of its Penang rival.

As for the laksa, the soup and the noodles were superb and flavorsome! The taste of curry and coconut milk with the usual herbs and condiments was very evident, making up for the sour, sweet and spicy concoction. Small prawns, bite-size chicken meat, shredded vegetables and tofu were present in the bowl.

It's confirmed then. Makan Makan's food flavors are authentic! I'm so glad it's here in Manila, so I don't have to travel far to quell my cry to Singapore and Malaysian food once in a while.
