New resto alert: Singapore’s popular Cantonese restaurant TungLok is now in Manila

The Lion City’s long-trusted name for quality Cantonese dishes is City of Dreams’ latest dining spot
ANCX Staff | Aug 11 2022

Singapore’s popular restaurant brand TungLok Signatures is the latest dining option at City of Dreams’ Shops at the Boulevard, the property’s retail strip. TungLok Signatures is part of Singapore’s leading restaurant chain, TungLok Group, and is known for keeping to a high standard of quality as much as for serving classic Cantonese cuisine with a few modern touches. 

A crowd favorite in its extensive menu is the Chili Crab prepared with either of these seasonings: salted egg yolk and curry leaves; black pepper and fresh peppercorns; or white pepper, leeks, and fresh peppercorns. Choose your own party. Also popular is the double-boiled abalone with seafood, sliced ham, and cream of pumpkin—this comes served in an Instagram-worthy mini pumpkin bowl.

TungLok fans has Baby Spice Food Corp. CEO and President Eric Teng to thank for bringing the brand to the Philippines (he also brought in the Thai restaurant Mango Tree here). TungLok was first established in 1984 and now has over 30 restaurants across Singapore, China, Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The interiors are a blend of elegant white tones and warm wood accents. The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sundays to Thursdays, and until 12 midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
