Nansen The Compound - Davao City

“Don’t leave the shell through its coating.” This line best describes my experience in this restaurant. The simplicity of interior and food presentation does not reflect the complexity of the taste and textures of the food they have served. The Ngohiong was filled with vegetables and the wrapper was crunchy until the last bite. The cattle pares were great. The sauce had the perfect thickness and sweet-umami taste. Beef was tender and meat fat melted in my mouth. The dimsum (pork shrimp siomai and hakaw) was properly steamed and went well with the chili garlic sauce. The Matcha buchi was the perfect dessert to finish our meal. The staff was polite and attentive, especially when refilling drinks and ordering.

I don't understand what I eat. The pig sui saw more like sworn fat lumps. The salt and pepper ribs were juicy wet and the meat tasted old. The disappointment is a pretty disappointment to coz it also does not taste fresh. On the other hand, the service crew was good.

Their Nansen Dimsum and Laksa are so good, although I was told that their beef pares and beef wool soup are even better. The latter were not available during our visit. You have drinks like beer, like beer in the late afternoon. We will certainly be back for beef-willon noodles soup. Not a big place, but they have outdoor tables to offer more customers. There are parking spaces around The Compound.

Love almost everything in the menu. He is a place to hang up and eat good rams or pares. The servers are beautiful, tidy and always attentive to your needs. The place is neat and clean all the time. Bring your family and children.

The place is quiet, love the aesthetics. Food was great, but the steamed hakao was a bit rubbery.
