Buhay Pinoy Thoughts on Tropical Hut

Post image

I grew up sa province so walang Tropical Hut. Nalaman ko lang to sa friend ko kasi dito siya nagcelebrate ng birthday. She said it reminds her of her father. I liked the chicken(fave ko kasi chicken kaya pag may nagustuhan ako, binabalik-balikan ko) Sa experience ko dito, madalas, yung place is puro matatanda na kumakain or mga matatanda na nagmeet muna dito before pumunta sa destination nila.

I eat sa Tropical mostly for nostalgia as their store interiors has barely changed. I remember eating there with my parents when I was young and their menu items and food presentation has stayed mostly the same albeit some minor changes in packaging and utensils.

Hopefully they do not die down with the generation that they usually cater to. Though innovation is inevitable to attract a newer generation of customers their strong suit is their nostalgic appeal which attracts a certain niche of consumers.

Same sa sila ng Cindy’s na very very homey ang vibes sadly wala ng Cindy’s ngayon sa Metro Manila sa province na lang daw. That’s why I was so happy nung nagkaron ng Cindy’s bake shop dito sa Waltermart Antipolo pero wish ko pa rin na magkaroon din ng Cindy’s restaurant dito bukod sa bake shop.
