...then it's Mandarin Sky Wok. With the success of its first location in Banawe, Mandarin Sky Wok expands with a second branch in Panay Avenue.

It's comforting dishes like these that make Mandarin Sky Wok special, but there's more. The Baked Eel on Rice (seasonal price) laid on a fragrant lotus leaf is another must-try dish at Mandarin Sky Wok. The natural sweetness of the fresh eel lingers long after the first bite, amplified by the sweet glaze.

If you're craving for beef, Mandarin Sky Wok's extensive menu has that covered too. The fork-tender Beef Cubes with Garlic (P 490-Small/P 735-Medium/P 980-Large), is another savory option, with each bite delivering the juicy richness of the beef capped by a sweet and thick sauce.
