This strategic expansion underscores Fruitas Group’s commitment to providing quality dining experiences and strengthening its presence in the industry.

Continuing the momentum, Ling Nam proudly opened its doors in Ever Commonwealth, Quezon City, on January 15, 2024. Positioned at the Ground Floor, Calle Bistro, Don Antonio Road, this location caters to families and patrons seeking quality dining options in a vibrant atmosphere.
Ling Nam also expanded into the heart of the financial district, Makati City, with the launch of Ling Nam Noodle Bar, a redefined experience for Ling Nam, at The Grid Co-Living, Yakal corner Lumbayao & Bakawan Streets, San Antonio Village, on January 24, 2024. This modern and inviting space promises a fresh dining experience for Makati’s diverse consumer base.
Since Fruitas Group’s acquisition of Ling Nam, Fruitas has continued to innovate by introducing additional formats for Ling Nam. In addition to the original Ling Nam since 1950 format, Fruitas launched Ling Nam Express, Ling Nam Noodle Bar, and Ling Nam Fried Siopao. Ling Nam Express can be found in the leading malls, including Robinsons Place Manila, Ayala Malls Cloverleaf, and SM North EDSA Bridgeway.

We’re very much excited to bring Ling Nam’s authentic delicacies across the Philippines which our countrymen will surely love.” Yu emphasized the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction, citing Ling Nam’s legacy spanning more than 70 years.
