Homegrown restaurant Golden Cowrie expands to Luzon

Accommodating, warm and friendly – these are qualities that are often used to describe Cebuanos. This May, Cebuano hospitality will be further experienced across the borders as Hukad sa Golden Cowrie opens its first branch in Luzon located at Level 1, TriNoma in Quezon City.


The new branch is a representation of Cebuano charm as it stays true to Golden Cowrie’s welcoming ambiance and hospitality. Its signature scrumptious crispy pata, succulent baked scallops and tasty Bicol express are sure to tickle one's palate, as will exciting new flavors such as the seafood pancit habhab and camaron rebosado.

“At Golden Cowrie, diners are taken back to traditional Sunday family gatherings through home cooked-style dishes and a festive atmosphere. Golden Cowrie has been in the industry for decades and we are grateful to have served generations of customers in celebrating both important milestones and everyday get-togethers. This everyday feast is what we want to share with everyone in the country and opening our 24th restaurant, the first in Luzon, is taking us one step closer to that,” shared Golden Cowrie and Hukad General Manager Kenneth C. Kokseng. “What we offer is something close to the heart of the Filipinos. Our passion for introducing and redefining familiar favorites while making our guests feel at home is what makes the experience distinctly Golden Cowrie,” he added.

Golden Cowrie started from an idea of integrating southern hospitality and authentic Filipino dishes in a homey atmosphere. Over the decades, the homegrown restaurant that started as a small eatery in the countryside in 1982 has established itself as an institution for Filipino cuisine in Cebu.

With over three decades of celebrating Cebuano hospitality, value and flavor, Golden Cowrie and Hukad sa Golden Cowrie continue to expand its reach with 23 other branches nationwide in Davao, Dumaguete, Bohol, Boracay, Ozamiz City, General Santos City, Butuan City, Tagum City, Tacloban City, Bacolod City, Iloilo, Pagadian City, and Zamboanga. In Cebu, Golden Cowrie and Hukad are located at Salinas Drive Lahug; SM City Cebu; The Terraces of Ayala Center Cebu; Robinson’s Cybergate; Marina Mall, Lapu-lapu City; Parkmall, Mandaue City; South Town Centre, Talisay City and SM Seaside City.
