In our search for good stories here and there, we were able to drop by in SMX, MOA Complex because of an invite from Jeffrey Rusios, a good friend of ours in the blogging industry.
Lucky for us, the event, which our friend invited us to go to was Franchise Asia Philippines 2016. Here, we got a lot of stories to tell and business opportunities to check out.
One good find in the Franchise Expo is Boy Kanin. Boy Kanin is the brainchild of Antonio Z. Atienza and Ronald Callao. The franchise was born because of Mr. Atienza and Mr. Callao’s similar passions for Filipino cuisine. Antonio Z. Atienza is a renowned jeweler and the owner of Golden Hills Jewelry, Inc. while Ronald Callao was a former Head for Circulation at Business World and BusinessMirror.
Why Boy Kanin? What’s in the name? I asked myself. Maybe, because Filipinos are fond of asking for that extra rice? ‘Kanin’ as the name implies means rice. When ordering, we’ll probably ask the food handler and say, “Boy, kanin.”
To us Filipinos, a hearty Filipino meal will not be complete without rice.
Kidding aside, Filipinos are quite fond of mixing the viand’s (ulam) sauce into the rice.
Mr. Atienza proposed this business idea to Mr. Callao.
So, what is special about ‘Boy Kanin’? The secret is in the rice and ulam sauce that Boy Kanin mixes for you.
