MAMA V DELICIOUS

In 2004, after 17 years in the United States, I decided to come back home to Manila. I opened a restaurant called Mama V Restaurant on the Ground Floor of Providence Tower, 2471 Leon Guinto Street, corner Estrada, Malate, Manila with my Mother – Lucita Campos Vitas, better known as Tita. She is my Mother, first and foremost, my best friend, my idol, my inspiration and my rock. I wouldn’t be who I am today and wouldn’t be where I am in my life without her constant example, strength, support, laughter and inspiration. To say that I adore this woman is an understatement.

This restaurant with her home-cooking was my first venture into entrepreneurship. I left after high school and studied, worked and lived in Boston, Los Angeles and New York for 17 years from 1986 to 2003. My Mom, meanwhile, has been a lifelong entrepreneur. She was one of the top exporters from the Philippines with an amazing & diverse roster of international clients around the globe – from Johannesburg-Tel Aviv-Germany-New York-Japan-Australia to Buenos Aires in the early seventies to the late nineties. With two Dragon Ladies (mother & daughter) vying for the boss position, you can imagine it wasn’t easy. I was a tough as nails New Yorker who wouldn’t budge at that stage in my life. My Mother was already a phenomenally accomplished businesswoman. I left the business after a few years to go on my own professional – employment & business – adventures in Manila which were in the areas of fashion, scents, prepared foods (sauces), food distribution, education, wellness and e-commerce.

The last few years, she has been giving family & friends her rich & delicious Bacon Carbonara as gifts. Both adults and children kept raving about how good it was each and every time, without fail. One night a few months ago, while my Mom, my brother Anthony & my cousin Paulo Reyes and I were hanging out at Mama V Restaurant, Paulo was sharing how he managed to finish half a box of Bacon Carbonara in one sitting (half a kilo of pasta). A lightbulb went off inside my head. Why not bring the Party Tray-Family Style Mama V food to people’s homes, gatherings, parties and special occasions? Being in a one-location restaurant in a school district (St. Scho, College of St. Benilde & De La Salle University) limits your audience, especially with the traffic in Manila. Mama V Delicious, Delicious Meals To-Go was born that evening. Delicious Delivered To Your Doorstep.
