FOOD FIT FOR ROYALTY

Many of the most well-loved fairy tales revolve around the plight of common men and women who, by lots of virtue and plenty of luck, climb out of poverty reaching goals once thought unachievable.
Such is the story of Alex and Engracia “Aling Asiang” Reyes, a simple hardworking couple whose small venture into the restaurant business 75 years ago allowed them to prevail over hardship and forever etched an indelible icon in the Filipino food industry – The Aristocrat.

ONCE UPON A TIME
1928 - Cruz-Reyes set up in 1928 a small carinderia at Calle de Marques de Comillas in Ermita, Manila.
1930s - Cruz-Reyes was selling adobo sandwiches at the Luneta out of a car loaned to her by a future son-in-law. Her reputation as a cook had also grown due to the home dinners she had cooked for many of the leading political figures of the day, friends of her now-prominent husband.

    Many fairytales of the past convey themes of a traditional nature- good versus evil, love lost, and love found. While these older tales are often interesting and relatable, the fairytales of today have begun to create new themes and convey more contemporary schools of thought. The author Amiee Bender displays this latter change in storytelling in the short story, “The Healer.” This story tells of the challenges of being unique and average, degree of emotion, and using one’s talents and gifts.…
