Fusion of Boracay in demand for Madridleños!

We are just strolling the area of Tetuan to look for “tambo” as we know the place is a well-known Filipino locality in the city of Madrid until we stopped then saw the name- Boracay Resto Bar Madrid. Curios of what inside, the place is packed of Spanish clientele eating desayuno with Filipino food on the side…Spanish are eating Filipino food now, how great strategy it is!




(Simplemente estamos desplazándonos por el área de Tetuán para buscar “tambo” ya que sabemos que el lugar es una localidad filipina muy conocida en la ciudad de Madrid hasta que paramos y luego vimos el nombre – ¡Boracay Resto Bar Madrid! Curiosidades de lo que adentro, el lugar está lleno de clientela española comiendo desayuno con comida filipina a un lado… Los españoles están comiendo comida filipina ahora, ¡qué gran estrategia!)

Until the owner approached us with a smile, his name is Chris with his lovely wife. They were cordial with their customers as we observed them but not snobbish (with the same good attitude and reception of S&D Restaurante and Filipino Comida of Mang Jimmy) so we started chatting with them. At first, we thought they are Ilocanos, but Kuya Chris confirmed that he came from Boracay in Aklan where the name of his restaurant was taken while his wife is from Batangas.

(Hasta que el dueño se acercó a nosotros con una sonrisa, su nombre es Chris con su encantadora esposa. Fueron cordiales con sus clientes tal como los observábamos pero no snob (con la misma buena actitud y recepción de S&D Restaurante y Filipino Comida de Mang Jimmy) así que empezamos a charlar con ellos. Al principio, pensamos que eran Ilocanos, pero Kuya Chris confirmó que venía de Boracay en Aklan, donde se tomó el nombre de su restaurante mientras que su esposa es de Batangas.)

We have discussed also that Madrid will implement to lift the restrictions starting this 20th of September 2021 (Monday) on restaurants and bars to open until 2 am and night bars, clubs, and discos to open until 5.30 am. The catering industry and nightlife scene will feel almost back to normal as this is just like before the corona pandemic. In addition, 10 people can sit together on terraces of restaurants instead of 8 with 100% capacity while inside to 75% seating capacity.



(Hemos comentado también que Madrid implementará para levantar las restricciones a partir de este 20 de septiembre de 2021 (lunes) sobre restaurantes y bares para abrir hasta las 2 am y bares nocturnos, clubes y discotecas para abrir hasta las 5.30 am. La industria de la restauración y la vida nocturna volverán a la normalidad, ya que es como antes de la pandemia de la corona. Además, 10 personas pueden sentarse juntas en las terrazas de los restaurantes en lugar de 8 con una capacidad del 100% mientras que en el interior hasta el 75% de la capacidad de asientos.)

As to progress with the conversation, I observed that the place was full of Spanish clientele while only the two (2) of us Pinoys (Jon y Jeri) who were eating the best barbeque with free “mangga and bagoong alamang” on the side.  Then our “postre” is the best “halo-halo” with savor of “ube and mango ice cream” that personally created by the family and not to forget with free scoops of additional mango ice cream with manzanilla hot tea at the end… really a good treatment for unknown person like us. Then Kuya Chris explained that his market is solidly Spanish but with 40 years of living here in Spain gave him the idea that he needed to develop the palate of Spanish people to taste and love the delectable Filipino cuisine where to create a fusion of being one of Spanish Restaurante in Madrid.

(En cuanto al avance de la conversación, observé que el lugar estaba lleno de clientela española mientras que solo nosotros dos (2) Pinoys (Jon y Jeri) estábamos comiendo la mejor parrillada con mangga y bagoong alamang gratis a un lado. Entonces nuestro “postre” es el mejor “halo-halo” con sabor a “ube y mango helado” creado personalmente por la familia y no olvidar con bolas gratis de helado de mango adicional con té caliente de manzanilla al final. Realmente un buen trato para desconocidos como nosotros. Entonces Kuya Chris explicó que su mercado es sólidamente español pero con 40 años de vivir aquí en España le dio la idea de que necesitaba desarrollar el paladar de los españoles para degustar y amar la deliciosa cocina filipina donde crear una fusión de ser uno de los Restaurante español en Madrid.)

Kuya Chris is really the entrepreneur we are looking for, with a mentality to create his own market using his own talent, creativity and niche while protecting also the businesses of our Kababayans who are engaged on the same field. I can’t believe it, this restaurant created a market catering primarily for Spanish than we thought for Filipinos, it is incredible concept…hasta pronto!

(Kuya Chris es realmente el emprendedor que estamos buscando, con la mentalidad de crear su propio mercado utilizando su propio talento, creatividad y nicho mientras protege también los negocios de nuestros Kababayans que están comprometidos en el mismo campo. No puedo creerlo, este restaurante creó un mercado que atiende principalmente al español de lo que pensamos para los filipinos, es un concepto increíble … ¡hasta pronto!)
