MANILA -- Even before he won the inaugural edition of the celebrity talent competition "I Can Do That," comedian Wacky Kiray has already made sound business investments.

Kiray is the owner of Manganen Bagnet House located on Marikina's famed restaurant row Lilac Street.

On Tuesday, "Umagang Kay Ganda" host Gretchen Ho visited the restaurant, which Kiray opened more than a year ago.

The comedian said he decided to open a bagnet restaurant because he loves Ilocano food.

"Naisip ko ito kasi ang pagkain ng mga Ilocona, sobrang sarap. Inikot kasi namin ang buong Ilocos hanggang umabot kami ng Pagudpud. Lahat ng pagkain ng mga Ilocano, masarap talaga," he said.

"(Bakit) bagnet? Kasi mahilig ako sa baboy, meat lover ako. Lahat ng mga meat, mahilig ako. Ito pang lasang Ilocano at lahat ay mage-enjoy, authentic talaga," he added.
