A warm welcome to our blog!

The Original Barrio Fiesta, the international casual dining restaurant specializing in traditional and authentic  Filipino cuisine, is rolling out Fiesta flavors from popular regions of the Philippines, beginning April 17 2011. From the northern down to the southern parts of the Philippine archipelago, native dishes rich in flavors infused with special ingredients and cooked according to the customs of each particular region will be featured.

Beginning April 17, the regional fiesta will feature dishes from culinary capital Pampanga - north of Manila and part of the main island Luzon. 'Kapampangan" specialties such as the Filipino flavored Chicken Sisig (minced chicken breast with onion, green chili and mayonnaise, grilled and served on a sizzling plate), Tocino (cured chicken breast in special Filipino sauce), Kilayin (beef shank and liver marinated in vinegar and spices) and Bringhe (a green sticky rice dish like paella) will be served during the first edition of the regional fiesta in its Burjuman Center and Lamcy Plaza restaurants.

"The delectable dishes from different parts of the Philippines bring nostalgia and true taste of home to Filipino diners while adventurous non-Filipino customers a change to savor the richness and diversity of Philippine cuisine," said Ishwar Chugani, Executive Director of ETA-STAR Retail Group, which owns and operates the Original Barrio Fiesta brand in the region. "We hope that our customers will enjoy the sumptuous menu from across the Philippine Islands."

Customers of Barrio Fiesta can also enjoy the special Friday and Saturday brunches for an affordable AED49 while party packages are available for group functions and private parties in both Burjuman Centre and Lamcy Plaza restaurants.

With its increasing popularity, Barrio Fiesta will soon open new restaurants in the new Madina Mall in Dubai and Sahara Centre in Sharjah, reaching out to more customers in the UAE. The company is targeting a total of 10 restaurants in the region within the next 24 months to meet consumer demand.
