Angel’s, New Filipino Restaurant in Wanchai

On the sliver of O’Brien Road that connects Hennessy Road and Lockhart Road, the tasty Indian hole in the wall Masala Train has reached the end of the track. New at the A2 entrance to Wanchai MTR is Angel’s.

Strangely given the number living in the city, there are not many Filipino restaurants around. As well as a menu that features the classics like tapsilog, adobe, lechon and sisig there are daily blackboard specials. So if you’re looking to tease your tastes buds with something different call an Angel.

For over twenty years the BBQ has been hosted and sponsored by the Texas Beef Council, USMEF and USDA with Taiwanese band Whisky River returning to soundtrack the evening. Among those attending were the new US Consul General Hanscom Smith and USMEF CEO Dan Halstrom.

World Champion BBQ-master Timothy Broderick of Pit Ventures was back showcasing his smoked brisket and short ribs.
