More often than not, we see Chinese restaurants dropping the word “authentic”. But in this day and age, authenticity simply isn’t enough. Many restaurants offer practically the same thing but adding something unconventional to the menu is always a plus. Searching for the best Chinese restaurant in the Metro is one difficult (yet fun) adventure. But after a long journey, we’ve finally tasted the best, craziest, and richest Cantonese cuisine in Manila: Li Li.

Executive Chinese Chef Raymond Yeung has just transformed traditional into something unconventional. Working for 27 years in the hospitality industry, Chef Raymond has masterfully honed his skills in serving and recreating Cantonese cuisine. Get both authentic and innovative with the restaurant’s offers. Here are a few of the many things to look forward to when dining in Li Li.

With ingredients sourced from in and out of the country, the dining experience at Li Li is truly one of a kind. The scrumptious food embraces what’s familiar with our palette while introducing new flavors to us. Who would have thought that Chinese food can be incorporated with Mexican abalone and A4 Japanese Saga Wagyu? With the inventive mind of Executive Chinese Chef Raymond Yeung, it’s all possible.
