Lively Filipino music, rich and boisterous laughter and the clanging of utensils were in perfect harmony during the blessing and grand opening of Lantaw Native Restaurant Dumaguete. It seemed like one giant feast that brought together families from all over the city. And as the night progressed and the moon steadily lit the restaurant’s skyline, the crowd excited to taste the savory native delicacies unique to this new restaurant just kept getting bigger and bigger.
Along with the rise of the Korean tourist population in the country is the fad over K-Pop Culture. But it seems to me that K-Pop is here to stay because the Filipinos have embraced their way of life in terms of fashion, communication, technology and most of all, food. Here in Dumaguete alone, Koreans have established themselves as the extended family of the City of Gentle People. And the best part of their stay is getting a taste of their cuisines that burst with flavor and that signature spiciness.
