The story
In 2026, the Michelin Guide awarded its "Recommended" distinction to Chie Chie's Pancit Batil Patung, a small street food stall in Makati, Manila. The award shines a spotlight on the kind of cooking that often goes unnoticed by formal dining guides: robust, everyday food made with care and tradition.
The restaurant's name is its specialty. Pancit Batil Patung is a stir-fried noodle dish from the northern Philippines, typically loaded with vegetables, meat, and a tangy sauce. At Chie Chie's, the focus is on the integrity of ingredients and the balance of flavors—a simple plate that has earned a loyal following.
Located on Dian Street in Makati, Chie Chie's operates as a street food stall, with no pretense beyond serving good food. It embodies the energy of Manila's neighborhood eateries, where the line between cooking and community blurs.
