Restaurateur VicVic Villavicencio reinvented Filipino dining in his Kamayan restaurant chain, which adopted the Filipino (or Asian) practice of eating with one’s hands. This was in the ’70s when dining at Kamayan was part and parcel of Filipino lifestyle.
If you didn’t know Vicvic Villavicencio, you would have missed him weaving in and out of the noontime crowd of his hugely popular Kamayan, Dads and Saisaki buffet restaurants.
