Founded by Wanda, who was born in Cagayan de Oro and moved to America over 20 years ago, restaurant represents her mission to find and share truly authentic Filipino food matching delicious cuisine she enjoyed as child. After years of disappointment with Filipino restaurants in America that were either too salty or not authentic enough, Wanda discovered family recipes made decades ago during trip back to Philippines 10 years ago.
