Monique and I couldn't resist the call of the now famous Tuan Tuan Chinese brasserie. Conceptualized by the Lugang group, this restaurant is an offshoot of the Mui Garden restaurant in Hong Kong. We have been passing by this restaurant since late 2015, and it seemed that the long waiting lines outside were indicative of good food. Last week, we walked into their SM Megamall branch at around 3pm, and were lucky to find a good spot for our late lunch.
Interiors are dressed up quite differently from your usual Chinese restaurant. The place is like a French brasserie, and the impression you get is that it's a mix of post-war Europe and Hong Kong of the 1960s. We started off with pork buns which were soft and delicious, not too sweet for me to go a-ranting!
The beef curry was excellent. Meat was soft and the taste was just right. The halibut noodle soup was also a delight--mixed in were some dumplings and siao long bao. The chicken, however, was quite like ordinary, done in fast-food teriyaki style. Food attendants are well-trained and very courteous. You have to prepare at least some P800 per person to enjoy the restaurant though, which is quite a heap for regular day eating.
