To be welcomed into the home of a Filipino family is one of the most unforgettable experience you may have in your life. You will feel like a king! Filipinos will offer you the best seat in the house, bring out the porcelain dinnerware, Sterling silver cutlery, and serve you, in one of the rare occasions Pinoy families are openly proud, a really expansive spread of the family's best home-cooked meals. Filipinos would brag about how our great-great-great-grandmother has passed-on these recipes from one generation to the next. We would talk about which provinces and tribes or clans we have descended from and how each dish has its own distinct influence from this and that region using these and those ingredients. We Filipinos love to eat, but what we love more than eating, is sharing our cuisine with all of you.
This is how exactly what I experienced when I had the chance to be invited by the Celebrity Chef Mel who owns Cucina ni Bunso in Quezon City. I felt like coming home again to a great food and special cookin' by my parents who now live far from me due to my work.
Cucina ni Bunso opened last June 24, 2013, the person behind this extension of a home is Chef Mel known as Mel in GMA's teleserye The Half Sisters. Chef Mel is the youngest out of seven (7) children, and his mother according to him is his inspiration on catapulting a restaurant.

The best I've had for the night, 'Chicken ni Mel'. This is something I've been trying to cook but my attempts had been futile. The chicken has that right kind of tenderness and the apple and the mix of herbs made the chicken smell and taste exquisite.
