Since its beginnings in the 1950s, Ling Nam has served delicious and authentic Chinese cuisines. It has gained a loyal following, which led to the opening of Ling Nam branches through franchising. I grew up eating Ling Nam with the family.

Peter Fung, president of Tri-Mark Foods Inc., the company handling Ling Nam, says, “Ling Nam has re-engineered to keep the restaurant’s old glory and legacy as the best tasting noodle house in the country. Families and friends can now look forward to Ling Nam as casual dining.”

Ling Nam recently opened its fourth restaurant at Shopwise Commonwealth Block 17, Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City. The franchise restaurant is owned by Glenn and Zenny Labog who are not new in the restaurant industry and used to operate a chain of restaurants in the US.

Families, friends, loyal clienteles and some friends attended the restaurant’s opening. Guests enjoyed the performances done by the Philippine Ling Nam Athletic Association and served with Ling Nam specialties. Among the guests were Tomas Fung (founder of Ling Nam) and wife Alina Fung, Evelyn Fung, Jose Mari Chan and wife Mary Ann Ansalado-Chan and Tong and Linda Mañalac.
