Pamana

For dinner, B and I checked out the new restaurant offering from the Ongapauco Family. Pamana. The ambiance, the way the place was set up, the actual house was very subtle and classy... The place has the mom's house feel. Several picture frames, antique furniture were scattered all over the place... My mom would've loved the place if she saw it...

The first floor showcased Happy Ongpauco's offerings from the kitchen. Taba nang talaganka, gourmet vinegar, fruit jams, and other bottled goods were being sold.

The waiting area...

The table setting on the first floor... No plates were the same...

The wall of memories... Heart Evangelista had a few pics there... So did Donita Rose...

It was a bit too windy to stay outside.. but I loved that there was al fresco dining here...

Using a sungka gameboard for the condiment tray was a very good idea... I just wonder how long the garlic and the chopped red onion had been sitting out there...

Overall, the food was pretty ordinary... Imagine eating at Barrio Fiesta, with better ambiance. =)
