Banana Leaf Restaurant in Promenade, Greenhills, San Juan City, the Philippines is delicious and affordable

Yesterday on July 2, 2013,  I brought two USA-based guests---my cousin Joy Yang and his wife Beth---plus my younger sister Marilou Flores So to eat a late lunch at the Banana Leaf Asian Cafe at Promenade, Greenhills, San Juan City, Metro Manila, the Philippines.

The Southeast Asian foods were delicious, affordable and colorful. The restaurant staff and the officer-in-charge Clyde Yvan A. Mariano were quite friendly and efficient. The ambience is relaxing, comfortable, a bit casual and also elegant.

Congratulations to its owner and franchisee, the hardworking and dynamic San Juan City Vice-Mayor Francis Zamora for this good business you have there. Keep up the great work!

Vice-Mayor Zamora told me that his businesses like this resto is a franchise, so he could leave management behind and still earn recurring incomes, giving him the economic independence and time to focus on public service.

I first met Vice-Mayor Francis Zamora when I was a few years ago invited guest speaker at his Jaycees organization, where he was then the president. He used to be star player of De La Salle University's champion basketball team.

Note: I think the firs time I had eaten at a Banana Leaf resto was years ago at the newly-opened Podium Mall in Otigas Center, Mandaluyong City on a Tuesdy night and upon the invitation of SM Group and Podium Mall founder Henry Sy, Sr. We had a long five-hour conversation first at Figaro Cafe of Podium  and also later the jampacked Banana Leaf resto for dinner.
