Swisher called for another meeting and when I was asked where's a good place to eat I immediately suggested Mann Hann. I heard they moved to a brand spankin' new building and I wanted to see it.

Mann Hann has been around since 1995. They started with one small restaurant and now they have several branches in malls. I think having their own free standing restaurant adjacent to their office is a feather in the cap in their long, successful stint in the restaurant scene.

I think the secret to their success is their consistently good Chinese comfort food. There's nothing extraordinary in their menu. But most of their dishes are what the Chinese in Manila look for when they want a good, simple home cooked meal. Dishes that they grew up eating and want to share with the new generation.

From outside you would think this is a car dealership or a high end art gallery. There's still no sign outside the restaurant but everyone knows what's inside. The restaurant is located in a small residential street in San Juan, not exactly a prime location for a big restaurant. But if you build it they will come. And come they did.

don't know what this area is for
