Romnick Sarmienta and Harlene Bautista, the owners,  have shared that this restaurant came from a dream and passion. They want everyone to have a taste of the whole Philippines because there were still native cuisines  which remains hidden and undiscovered. They went thru series of immersions for them to be able to discover what each province in this country has to offer when it comes to food.

Of course desserts are must haves. Filipinos love sweets and often ends a bountiful feast with their yummy panghimagas.

And a must try desert is the recently launched Mayon,  Salu’s molten lava cake.It has a really good salty surprise inside which gives a twist to that rich dark chocolate cake and filling. It’s not part of the regular menu, so make sure to ask your waiter for it on your visit.
