Barrio Fiesta's traditional Palayok Logo

The picture of classic beauty in the frame is Mama Chit, the matriarch of the  family that has created Barrio Fiesta. After 52 years since Barrio Fiesta has been officially launched in Highway 54, Caloocan City their presence has expanded to over 20 branches both locally and abroad.

GREENHILLS

In my recent visit to Barrio Fiesta Greenhills, their transformations are very much evident in the furnishings and yet they have maintained the colors of the festivities (as such, the fiesta) in the art pieces and the new menu cover. These said changes, maybe to be abreast with the modern times, has retained the traditional taste of Filipino dishes that we have been loving while growing up.

This was the typical scenario when Tatay (transalate: Daddy) brought siomai from Han Pao Teahouse. AND there is this chili with fresh calamansi to dip my “siomai bbq” <insert drool smiley here>.

In my fave sky blue pyjamas and books all over the place during college, Tatay would arrive from the province and tell me he got those siomai that actually has shrimp in them (unlike others that just have a whiff of shrimp).
