                    [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.

I enjoy having something in my mouth at all times – be it a piece of chewing gum or something long and hard – lest I be censored or fired by my editor, I’m referring here to a pen or a pencil.  Munching on cheese-flavored popcorn, Nagaraya nuts or M&Ms thoroughly heightens my pleasure of a movie at a theater. On a night out, I always feel the need to pick on those often-stale peanuts while sipping my martini simply because they’re there on the bar.

That world, as I discovered, is no different from my own. Even though what Po-on brings to life are the plowing of the fields, the tolling of the bells, and the firing of the guns; and in our world today what we do is send text messages, watch TV, and play computer games, there is one thing that makes Po-on strikingly familiar – it’s the people in it, Filipinos.
