I got an invitation from Wazzup Pilipinas to visit on the newly opened restaurant in the part of Quezon City. It came to a surprise that the the Miss Earth 2013 candidates were also invited to grace this momentous occasion.

The revolving restaurant concept is not new in the Philippines, the country had its first revolving restaurant in Quiapo district , Manila way back in the 1970’s .The building, once the Manila Royal Hotel, now occupied by SM clearance sale outlet or SM Carriedo branch . The building can be viewed every-time we had a special tour inside  the Metropolitan theater .

Ms. Tess Laurente, the PR Manager and Chef Jessie herself when we had a chance to interview them talked about the story behind the name of MDC 100. The 100 is a very special number for the Que Family, They started a business with 100 pesos, so it symbolizes the humble beginning of the company, very inspiring!
