Sunburst Cebu

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

And the spoiling continues!!  Allan and Margie took us to lunch on the day we were leaving!!  We went to Sunburst to grant Javier’s wish to try this since we all told him about it!  Allan took us to this branch which he said is the cleanest since his cousin owns it and he knows his cousin is very “OC” about cleanliness and sanitation!

R&M Preserves

By | Great Achievements, Proud to be Pinoy! | 11 Comments

When we were kids, Dad and Mom would take us with them to Cebu to visit Rustan’s.  My only memory then was Rustan’s and the Siao Family.  Mr. and Mrs. Siao was like our family in Cebu and we loved and still love them 🙂  

 mr-and-mrs-vicente-siao.png

Together with the rest of their family! Tita Dorothy, Tita Elizabeth, Sandra, Erwin, Tita Margaret and Tita Ellen.  They are one of the kindest and most loving family that we know!  Our family is blessed to know them all  

 siao-siblings.jpg

And this is now their entire family taken during the 50th anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Siaosiao-clan-50th.jpg

It was Mrs. Rosario Siao who started the dried mangoes business with one of her friends hence the name R & M.  R for Rosario 🙂  They were the very first ones in the industry and they invented the product till everyone else followed.  They sold domestically and also for export.  Till this day, R & M is the superior brand for Dried Mangoes!

And they have many other products which developed through the years
