I honestly don’t know how to say this without getting a little emotional. 😅
When we first opened dinner service, most nights we only had a few customers. But we still opened our doors, prepared the food, stayed late, paid the extra costs, and kept showing up.
Because for us, it was never just about how many people came through the door. We genuinely wanted to serve our community and give you another opportunity to enjoy Filipino food.
And lately, something beautiful started happening.
We were finally getting busy at dinner. Some nights, we were packed.
And yet… we decided to close.
I know that might not make sense from the outside.
But behind a small business are real people, limited hands, tired bodies, and a family trying to keep everything together.
We needed extra help, and we realised we couldn’t continue dinner without compromising our morning service. The service we’ve worked so hard to build and protect.
So we made the difficult decision to pause dinner while we prepare for our next steps.
This wasn’t because dinner wasn’t working. Actually, that’s what makes it harder.
We are also still hopeful for the council approval we’ve requested. We genuinely want the opportunity to offer more Filipino food to our community, something different, something familiar, something so Pinoy. So we have somewhere to gather. 🇵🇭❤️
To everyone who called asking if we were open for dinner, to those who came hoping we could accommodate you, especially those who travelled from neighbouring towns, thank you. Truly. 🥹❤️
You may never know how much those moments meant to us.
We hope that when the time comes for us to open dinner again, you’ll still be here.
For now, we’ll keep going. Keep learning. Keep adjusting. Keep showing up.
Thank you for understanding our little business, for being patient with us, and for growing with us.
Slowly, slowly. One step at a time. 🤎
