LOL d0d0ng, you must have sampled every delicacy sold there.
At very first glance the banner seems to say “Make Fire”
hahahahaha yes, it does.
I visited President restaurant last year and the food was great so I recommended it to my wife when she visited the Philippines last month but she said the place has closed.
Wow, really? Closed for the day or closed-closed?
