Lugang Cafe - Manila, Philippines

Lugang Cafe is one of our favorite Taiwanese restaurants in Manila. Lugang prides themselves in not just the food / desserts / drinks they serve but also the interior (stylish / chic decor) of each of their restaurants. They have been recognized in the highly prestigious Philippine Tatler's 100 Best Restaurant Awards. They definitely belong in the higher end of Asian restaurants in Manila. 

Their mission is to provide their guests with an exceptional dining experience by offering authentic Taiwanese cuisine from the freshest ingredients, served to us by their professional, well-developed staff. They guarantee only the best dishes Taiwan has to offer.

They have branches all over Metro Manila:

                                                Greenhills
                                       
                                                Mall of Asia
                                       

                                    The Block, SM North Edsa 

                                        
                                                                         SM Aura
                                        
                                                                      Glorietta 2
                                        
                                    Fashion Hall, SM Megamall
                                        
The decor and modern interior could make some people stay away from this place thinking that it would be very pricey but believe me, the prices are quite affordable for the ambiance / quality of food and service you get.

Here are some of the dishes we've had during our repeated visits to Lugang cafe:

Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao

Shrimp and Pork Shiao Mai

Three cup chicken

Stewed Beef, Tendon & Turnip in Clay Pot

Spicy Clams w/ Thai Sweet Basil

Beijing Shredded Pork

String Beans w/ Salted Egg

Hainanese Boneless Chicken

Pineapple Fried Rice

Aside from the very appetizing food, they also have the most refreshing drinks

Cucumber w/ Mint Juice

Iced Fruit Tea

Aloe Jelly in Honey Lemon Juice

Freshly Brewed Tea

We always leave room for dessert when we eat at Lugang, specially because the weather in the Philippines is generally hot and humid, we always look forward to their Iced desserts. Take a look at some of the ones we've had so far.

Fresh Mango Cubes on Shaved Ice

Green Tea and Coconut Flavored Snow Ice

Bellagio Breeze

I hope you enjoyed looking at some of the dishes that Lugang has to offer. I can guarantee you that once you try the food, you'll want to keep on going back for more just like we do every time we visit the Philippines.
