Lami Ana's BBQ

February 18, 2013
 

The Villarubins used to run a BBQ stand but closed it five years ago when Alex went to sea. They decided to reopen it and the renovations have been ongoing for a couple months. It sits adjacent to and can be accessed by way of the back courtyard opening to the main street.

The Comfort Room got a mosaic tiled floor

The roof had leaks so the first priority was repairing the roof and ceiling. Alex is a Jack of All Trades doing the carpentry and electrical work. Buddy painted everything and will be the head chef as he is the excellent cook in the family.

I didn’t realize it was going to be a sarisari store as well till the bags and boxes of merchandise started showing up and Aries was very busy unpacking and arranging stuff on every available surface in the house.

things ready for the grill

 February 18^th was opening day with a blessing ceremony performed by priests for the new business with holy water sprinkled on everything and reading of scripture.
