But Mr. Poon restaurant did not cone into being because of Richard. There was already a Mr. Poon restaurant probably before he was even born. The original Mr. Poon opened in 1974 according to one internet report. The original Mr. Poon was along Mabini St. in Malate.
Now, there is a new Mr. Poon restaurant in Ermita (or is it Malate? - never knew the difference). It's along Guerrero St. If you are facing St. Paul's University, Manila, Guerrero St. is the street on its left. Its just a few blocks from Robinson's Place, Manila.
The restaurant still serves what they say the popular dish then which is steamed Lapu-Lapu. It comes with different sauces. Anyway, that's not what I tried when we ate there. Here are pictures of the dishes we sampled. I must say they all satisfied my cravings for that night. My favorite is the togue.
The two times I've been at Mr. Poon I spotted who else but Richard Poon himself. I wonder if he sings to their customers! Hmmm
