‘My Puhunan: Kaya Mo!’: Ube sinigang sa Binondo, patok sa masa

Isang chef sa Binondo, Maynila ang gumawa ng naiibang diskarte para makilala ang sinimulan niyang kainan.

Ang paborito ng mga Pinoy na sinigang, nilagyan lang naman Moncrief Domino ng ube at tinawag na “ube sinigang”.

“Talagang sinadya ko ‘yun para at least may matikman ‘yung mga ordinaryong people, ‘yung mga masang Pilipino ng something new and elevated dish. Then at the same time, hindi naku-compromise ‘yung lasa ng sinigang,” pagbabahagi niya kay Migs Bustos para sa programang “My Puhunan: Kaya Mo!”.

Apat na taong nagtrabaho sa hotel at sa barko si Moncrief pero nahinto nang dahil sa pandemya.

Dahil marunong magluto, naisipan niyang magbenta ng mga pagkain online gamit ang P5,000 puhunan.

Bagamat alam niya ang pagluluto, naging problema niya ang pagpapatakbo ng negosyo kung saan naranasan niya ang pagkalugi sa una niyang puwesto.

“Noong nalulugi na ako, nagstart na ako mag-aral regarding kung papaano magnegosyo, papaano mag-marketing. So hayun, unti-unti natutunan ko. Then nababaon na din kasi ako sa utang. So pinagdesisyon ako na isara na. Then, nabigyan tayo ng opportunity na magkaroon ng puwesto dito sa Binondo and then hayun na, doon na nagstart,” pagdedetalye niya.

Binabalik-balikan ngayon ng mga parokyano ang kainan ni Moncrief si Binondo.

Bukod sa kaniyang pamosong ube sinigang, bida rin sa kaniyang kainan ang una niyang produkto, ang kare-kare.

Panoorin ang kaniyang kuwento dito sa ‘My Puhunan: Kaya Mo!’ kasama si Migs Bustos.
