                    [Title] => Modern Filipino cuisine at Mannang
                    [Summary] => Mannang. We were intrigued by the restaurant’s name. Was it a word play on manna, or spiritual food? Or did they simply misspell manang, which is the word for "older sister" that denotes respect in some Philippine dialects?


John Kenrick Chua says that the spelling of Mannang is deliberate. "We wanted it to relate to Mann Hann," he says. Mannang is the Filipino restaurant of the Mann Hann group. And Mann Hann, of course, is the Chinese restaurant chain owned by the Chua family.
