  2. I wish you could include Cuisina Imperia since they are booming now in Olongapo and they are all friendly. They started about 11 months ago and all of their food was distinct, it’s not the usual food that you can try everywhere. Food is superb for all meals are delicious. Make it one of your favs once you taste it. You’ll be able to taste sumptuous food at a reasonable price. You will never go wrong in recommending this food hub. I also hear that they are always supporting local farmers and local vendors as well.
