Malou de Veyra’s culinary dream once took a backseat when her husband fell ill and passed away from cirrhosis. During those nine years of sickness, de Veyra learned how to make memorable and comforting food, developing a special passion for puttanesca. Finally able to revisit her old hobby during the community quarantine, de Veyra opened Hola Mamita, ready to not only share time-tested recipes but also the well-loved memories of her husband and life.
WHAT TO TRY: Hola Mamita’s signature dish is its Puttanesca Adriano, which comes with Zoodles or zucchini noodles (400g – P600).

Wanting to give back to his mother, Derrence Lao and his wife Addie Lao continued where the business had previously left off by starting an online store in 2016. Recently, its home-based kitchen has been upgraded to a full commissary.
