MILESTONE “Our takeout window has saved our
livelihood and the addition of the Open
Streets initiative allowed us to bring
seats outside during good weather
days,” Manalang said. “We were also
able to meet and connect with so many
of our neighbors, which was another
fortunate outcome of this turn of events.
They have all been so loyal and encouraging
throughout this ordeal and
we are so grateful to them. We are also
very grateful to LIC Relief for allowing
us to be a part of their efforts to feed
our neighbors who needed assistance
during these hard times. Their contributions
really allowed us to stay busy and
keep some of our team employed during
the pause.”
In celebration of their one-year anniversary,
Little Chef Little Café offered a
week of specials and launched a “Filipino
Taco Stand” so customers could
create their own taco, available in fried
wonton shells or classic corn tortilla, for
delivery and takeout or at their outdoor
space. The fillings include pork adobo,
chicken adobo, chicken afritada with
spicy tomato pepper sauce, potatoes,
carrots and vinegar slaw, as well as
veggie ginataan, vegetables sautéed
in coconut milk and topped with spicy
pickled pineapple.
The DIY Taco Kits range from personal
size (three pieces for $14 or five
pieces for $20) to family size with 10, 15
or 20 tacos.
While Manalang sees outdoor dining
as a huge help, she understands they’ll
have to rely on takeout and delivery
during the cold weather months.
“We are launching items and programs
to help facilitate this transition,
so that when the fair weather is
back, we will be more than ready to
take advantage of it with our patio setup,”
said Manalang. “These programs
include our existing weekly meal prepared
dishes, soups by the quart that
people can pre-order and get once a
week, stocking up for the cold weather,
as well as DIY Filipino Taco Kits and
baked goods boxes for easy ordering
and pickup and delivery.”
