Description:
Food is a very important part of a Filipino’s life. No gathering would be complete without the lechon and so many other Filipino delicacies that we enjoy. Filipinos seem to live simply for the pleasure of eating, you cant visit a home without being offered a drink and food from the people there. It seems that the food and the Filipino have been deeply rooted together. It may be that through food that bring the Filipino family close together.
So in this thesis, our group will be going to make a thesis about on a Specialty Restaurant, and we choose a Filipino Restaurant, because we still want to showcase our own national food rather than from different country.
