A home for the Filipino foodie

Casual dining restaurant Kuya J, the fastestgrowing restaurant chain in the country, offers Filipino gastronomic delights that make one feel right at home.

Recently, the restaurant unveiled its unique franchise program during an event at the SMX Convention Center of SM Aura in Taguig City. Its franchise program offers potential investors inhouse financial assistance and exclusive business development support.

Kuya J Group Inc. president and chief executive officer Winglip Chang said, “We have not only created a restaurant brand that is known to serve besttasting dishes, we have also made it a home for one big happy family that shares the same values. With the launch of the new franchise program, we are able to welcome more members into our growing family.”

Kuya J Group Inc. chairman Lowell Yu, chief financial officer Francis Reyes, Southeastasia Retail Inc. president Gwen Lourdes Lim and 8990 Holdings chairman emeritus Luis Yu Jr. were also present at the event. The Far Eastern University cheer dance team and

Bamboo entertained guests with their performances. Kuya J has built a reputation for unique interpretations of Filipino favorite dishes such as Roasted Chicken, Grilled Scallops (with yummy cheese and garlic, something I always have), Bulalo and the very popular Crispy Pata. The restaurant is also known for its distinctive Halo-Halo Espesyal, which guests enjoyed during the event.
