Over the weekend, while scanning and reading the leading broadsheets I came across an interesting advertisement of the Aristocrat Restaurant. I eagerly read the whole ad, for this Filipino themed restaurant comes close to my heart(one of my true favorite Filipino restaurants) for its famous distinctly flavored barbecue. And for the fact that the founder, Aling Asiang Cruz-Reyes is my lola’s katukayo.

Aristocrat has acquired satisfied patrons for over 70 years, and it is such a relief that its services are kept affordable. Thus, I thought it will be great to share with you what its recent advertisement is all about.

The famous Aristocrat Restaurant, an institution in the local restaurant business is said to be celebrating its 70th anniversary. As part of its celebration, a "BBQ ng Bayan Cook Fest" will be held at the Rajah Sulayman Park in Malate, just across the Aristocrat Roxas Boulevard branch, on Sunday, October 28, 2006 at 5 p.m.

Tickets to the event are now on sale for only Php70 at any Aristocrat branch. The tickets may be exchanged on the day of the event for a BBQ ng Bayan Kit which consists of pork and chicken BBQ, rice, atchara, java sauce, drinks and a dessert. During the event ticket holders will experience "grill-your-own meal" treat. A sure hit to those who love barbecues. The Aristocrat encourages families to party with them. Live bands and various artists were invited to perform and to grace the feast.
