The feat of Aling Rosy started only with her interest in helping her parents. She had assisted her mother, and was not abashed in carrying utensils, in holding smelly seasonings and to make her hands dirty as charcoal gets into her skin. During the death of Aling Felisa in 1951, her eldest daughter, Rosy, after whom the restaurant was named, took over and started the business at home. She accepted made to order Pancit Malabon until it reached the cities nearby like Manila, Olonggapo, Zambales, Pampanga, Laguna and many more. |
The secret behind this triumph why such well-known people and gourmets pop in the store is that they have their own way of cooking Pancit Malabon. The noodles are specially made; the ingredients are fresh and of good quality; oysters are from Cavite as well as the shrimps and crabs, chicharon, tinapa , garlic from Batanes, duck eggs, patis(fish sauce) and calamansi(lemon). They are the one who really prepare all these ingredients and make sure that before it goes out, it would be definitely enticing. If one's interest is cooking, he or she must be proficient first with our own delicacies because if we are erudite enough, it's easier to cook foreign recipes. Well, its famous clienteles are the Tanchancos, Enriles, Cojuancos, Cosetengs, Madrigals and even foreigners. Ms. Lalaine Ve , 2 nd Runner Up-Miss Philippines-International used to visit the store that according to her, Aling Rosy serves with a smile. |
