i've visited a small business of a long time friend of mine which is still less than a month old. siomai is the main product that they're selling, and a little addition of some instant meals on the menu. Flor, my voluptuous and outspoken friend (hahaha), who works in a callcenter, ventured into this small business with the aim to have additional income. i guess you probably know that one of my ultimate dreams is to own a carinderia. after knowing that Flor has ventured in the food business, i really just have to see it for myself. i must say, this is a very pangmasa kind of business. its not hard to sell coz its very affordable, as in! if you have 20 pesos, you'll already have a decent meal, in fairness! siomai sa tisa is the famous siomai-an here in Cebu, so that's who supplies Flor of their siomai. so, here's our ganap when i went to Flor's siomai-an business. :)
kabog ang banner! luv it! :)
L-R : me, flor and mcdo ... mcdo is Flor's right hand :)
me and flor having dinner at her siomai-an
i brought green salad so flor could also taste my salad. oh diba, ganun ako kung magpromote ng pagkain, i let my friends taste it. flor loved my salad! thanks, mang! hahaha... flor and i call each other "mang", short for "mamang"... its a becky term used in mindanao. hehehe :) ... Flor's siomai-an business is located at the back of I.T. Park in Lahug, Cebu. They are open 24 hours, 7 days a week... hindi masyado mukhang pera diba? hahaha... and i must say, the staff were all cute! bagets ang peg, kakaloka! i asked flor, san mo ba ito sila nakuha?!! hhahaha... flor just laughed at me, kaloka! :)
the cute waiters L-R : ro-em, jaymar, aljun and glenn
i told flor na this is a good strategy that you hire good looking staff coz maraming bibili na babae at becky sa inyo! hahahahaha... flor shared to me a story that one time a becky was making landi to one of her staff, when that becky bought siomai from them... after the becky left, she told her staff, "Boys, remember that you're selling siomai, and not yourself!" ... of course, she said it in a candid way. kaloka lang ang mga punch line! hahaha :)

dito lang ako nakakita na naghalo ang coke and pepsi products! hahahaha... sabi ko, flor, bakit may pepsi ka? e, coke naman ang nagprovide ng chairs and freezer nyo... flor's answer, "e kasi may naghahanap ng mountain dew (a pepsi product), so may i buy mountain dew to cater to the customer's needs!" pak! tama nga naman... hahahaha... pero hindi talaga pwede yan kasi pag coke ang nagprovide ng mga gamit mo, you should only be exclusive to coke lang talaga... knowing flor, not even coke can make atraka to her ways and reasoning skills! hahahahaa :) by the way, 8 siomai ang naubos ko with 2 puso na rice! hahhaha... patay ang diet ko coz the siomai is really yummy, in fairness! definitely a must try! :)
anyways, to my readers, if you have time, please visit and try Flor's siomai at the back of e-block building (JP Morgan), located at IT Park, Lahug, Cebu. the very first tindahan you'll see paglabas nyo ng IT Park sa likod. just remember the set-up of their stall. hehehe :)
tight hugs,
