Palm Grill on Tomas Morato cooks the food of Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi Tawi. Chef Miguel Cabel Moreno, a Tausug cook who worked as a nurse first, runs it with his older brother King, and some of the chicken recipes come from his clan. The room is small and warm, with woven table runners and ethnic inspired music; the cooking leans on spices, acidity and roasted coconut.

Why go

  • 01Tiyula itum, the Tausug beef soup with a smoky, slightly sour coconut broth
  • 02The Dulang, a platter of seven dishes in tasting portions, as a first introduction
  • 03One of very few Manila kitchens cooking Tausug and Southern Mindanao food
  • 04The chef behind it also holds a second Bib Gourmand, at Cabel
