Lobby, Manila Peninsula

The Lobby of The Peninsula Manila turned 33 last Sept. 14, 2009 and the halo halo harana, pancit luglog and schueblig were highlights of its 33rd anniversary celebration. The "grande dame" of Makati offered the three dishes at their historical 1976 prices!!!

“The Lobby is known for its classics,” says the hotel food and beverage director, Laurent le Deu. “It’s what keeps our patrons coming back year after year. All three items are pure classics, they have been on our menu since day one.”

How much did the halo halo harana, pancit luglog and schueblig cost back in 1976? All three items were priced at P33 each in 1976. Last Sept. 14, 2009 the yummy trio was selling at The Lobby for only P33 each!!!
