Have a Taste of Asia at Persona Mesa

In the heart of the capital city of Tagbilaran, Bohol is the top- rated Persona Mesa Restaurant famed for its Filipino & Asian cuisine.

It is the love for food and the delight for designs that inspired the creation of the place. The place has both air- conditioned and outdoors dining areas.

There’s a mandatory temperature- taking, use of hand sanitizers at the entrance and a No Mask, No Entry policy. The restaurant observes social distancing and there are glass dividers at the tables in the indoor dining area.

Here are some of the restaurant’s bestsellers as captured by the lenses of Boholana photographer Ghen Lumayag-Tabat

A Whole New World for Maxine Nayeli G. Yu

When a family’s firstborn turns a year old, it is a cause for celebration. With a nod to the Arabic roots of her name Maxine Nayeli which literally means greatest blessing, proud parents Neil Orven & Maureen Jade decided on an Arabian Nights theme for the thanksgiving dinner & kiddie party and had the grand ballroom of MetroCentre Hotel transformed into an enchanting Arabian palace complete with carpet and belly dancers.

Here are some photos from the birthday bash
