Filipino Goodness at Sir Manong, Eastern Creek
Curious as to what the restaurant name means? Sir Manong comes from the “Sir” title and the “Manong” meaning – usually given to the first-born male in a Filipino family. However, Manong can also be referenced as the title of an older brother, or older male cousin or relative in an extended family. Filipinos tend to make the traditional language confusing, and over time, you’ll end up calling family, family, even if they’re not really your immediate family – but that’s totally ok.
As a regular visitor to Sir Manong in Eastern Creek, this is one of my favourite Filipino restaurants to bring family and friends to and experience authentic Filipino food. The hospitality starts from the moment you walk through the front doors and seated to your table.
The restaurant gives you warm vibes; plenty of chatter and laughter overheard, aromatic flavours wafting from the kitchen, and just the buzz of sharing meals between groups of friends. We believe food is meant to be shared, a feeling of connection, and warmth when you’re all enjoying a delicious meal together.
Some of my favourites include: Chicken Inasal (Regular or Spicy); Grilled whole split chicken marinated in house specialty brine, pickled daikon, soy kalamansi dipping. AU$26
Bicol Express; Pork stew in coconut, eggplant, mix chillies, garlic and fermented krill. AU$28
Krispy Fried Calamares; Manong’s secret spice breaded calamares, kalamansi chilli mayonnaise. AU$20
Other traditional Filipino dishes on the menu; Pork Belly Adobo, Pork and Prawn Palabok, Sir Sisig, Crispy Pata, Lechon, and Crispy Beef Brisket Kare Kare to name a few.
Located in the main eatery and restaurants area of Eastern Creek Quarter Shopping Centre, ample parking is available when you visit Sir Manong. If you have time, book and reserve a table in advance, before your arrival as dinner can get busy.
