Manam Café at SM Megamall

Posted on January 18, 2019

It was November of last year when we first spotted Manam Café at SM Megamall. After a tiring Family Day in Pisay that left the oldies (hubby and me) exhausted, we took a long nap before setting out to look for a place to eat. Our hungry tummies led us to try Manam Café’s food offerings.

We ordered Laksa-Style Halaan Soup with Crispy Sili Leaves & Mais plus Crispy Pata with Garlic-Chili Bits. We also tried their Ube + Sago.

Laksa-Style Halaan Soup with Crispy Sili Leaves & Mais (Medium), Php345

This item on Manam Café’s menu caught my eye. What a delightful way of serving halaan soup – with coconut milk! Hubby and I approved of it, but we both wished we were having hotter/warmer soup. Not really sure if my “snap first, eat later” attitude had something to do with this. Lol! We would love to have this Laksa-Style Halaan Soup with Crispy Sili Leaves & Mais again.

Crispy Pata with Garlic-Chili Bits (Medium), Php495

This Crispy Pata with Garlic-Chili Bits was indeed crispy. It was also an excellent complement to the halaan soup, but it’s lightly salted, so best to dip it in the accompanying soy vinegar sauce.

Ube + Sago, Php110

This Ube + Sago shake was already my dessert. It was lightly sweetened, which I liked. Even my son enjoyed it. Hubby tasted it, too, but he said he wanted it sweeter.

Manam Café’s menu looks really promising, and by the looks of it, this won’t be the last time we’re dining there.
