I need to try those ribs when I next go, as I have heard about them, too. I don't actually consider the place expensive. Split among several diners (I think the group should be at least five people), the bill is very reasonable. Without the cereal prawns, it could even be below average. But those cereal prawns are SO worth the extra expense! I’ve eaten at Tao Yuan twice and enjoyed it both times. I need to try those ribs when I next go, as I have heard about them, too.

Yes, Tao Yuan is really "out there" in Manila but worth the trip each time. Hope parking wasn't too much of a problem. Happy Birthday Lori!
