Why it matters
Why Manam at the Triangle is worth your time
Manam appears in both of the guides we opened that cover modern Filipino restaurants, each time for its reinterpreted comfort food. That makes it a useful middle path between a street stall and a tasting-menu dinner: familiar Filipino dishes, served in a comfortable setting.
It is not a vegetarian address. The dishes our sources name are meat or seafood based, and we found no evidence of a vegetarian or Jain menu, so we have left it untagged. Mixed groups can still use it if the non-meat eaters check the menu in advance. Older travellers benefit from the air-conditioned, seated format and the option to share small portions.

How to experience it
The Infatuation lists Manam at the Triangle in Makati as a lounge-like restaurant with playful twists on classics, naming ube champorado and watermelon sinigang. Will Fly for Food adds crispy pancit palabok and a beef short rib sinigang with watermelon, and notes several mall outlets.
For a first Filipino meal, order two or three dishes to share, so older relatives can taste without committing to a large plate. Sinigang is a sour broth, usually tamarind-based; ask how sour it is and whether it can be milder. Pancit palabok is a noodle dish, normally topped with seafood, so ask about its toppings if you avoid some.
The Ayala Triangle location is easy by car or taxi. Because outlets differ, check the branch address before you leave, and look at the current menu for anything you cannot eat.
