03 July 2014 – A Swiss restaurant in Berne named Eicholz featured a Philippine buffet on June 28 to celebrate Philippine Independence Day. It was well received by both Bernese and Filipino guests.  The atmosphere was a Filipino fiesta with typical Filipino delicacies and desserts served to the delighted guests.

There were also performances of Philippine dances in addition to the tasty Philippine dishes. The audience was encouraged to try the Tinikling as well.

The guests, including the personnel of the Philippine Embassy in Berne, expressed their appreciation to the restaurant owners for promoting Philippine food in Berne which is still relatively unknown to the Swiss palate. END
