Cafe Tolyo - Philippines

In the late part of the 1950's my lolo (Antonio T. Gozon, Sr.) converted the lower portion of the house from a beauty shoppe into a kitchenette in which my aunt Irene managed & name it "Little Ochie's Kitchenette" up until she went abroad in the early 70's. The kicthenette was then continued by my auntie Fe, then by uncle Cesar, after which auntie Neng. In the late 70's my father acquired the property from my uncle. It was first rented out & then used as a bodega until 2004 when it was given to me (Paul Q. Gozon) by my mother, Adelaida Quintos-Gozon. My wife (Josephine Yap-Gozon, the secret ingredient) and I started conceptualizing and arrived at this words "masarap, malinis, magandang lugar at kayang-kaya ng bulsa." Renovation started out in August 2004, by March 2005
