Manila, of course, is one of the top destinations for the
practical and adventurous diner. Tutuban Center’s “FoodStreet” is a fine
example of a gustatory district that attracts people from all walks of life for
its simple, makeshift and unassuming stalls.
In these trying times, people are wisely cutting back on spending at restaurants and even fast-food joints. Street food—fresh, inexpensive, ready to eat—are more often preferred by the budget conscious. You can choose from a wide variety of food and beverages that recall the taste of home-cooked meals while having the feeling that you are dining out.
For its small size, a street-food enterprise only requires a
small amount of capital. The trader only needs the most basic cooking skills, management
acumen, simple facilities and of course, his serving of affordable yet
delicious lunches, dinners and snacks.
Though small scale, this type of venture has a big potential for
generating income—even employment—so it isn’t impossible for the street-food
trader to have average earnings that can be three to even 10 times more than
the minimum-wage worker. His profits can even be more than the earnings of
skilled employees. More importantly, you can now be your own boss after growing
tired of the corporate rat race. It can also be a sound investment, too, especially
if you are a returning overseas Filipino worker or if you’re a bored housewife
with excellent culinary skills, a FoodStreet stall is definitely perfect.
Tutuban’s FoodStreet’s location at the historic former railway
station is fitting because it is a reflection of the exciting local culture as
manifested on the food fare being served. Appetizing offerings include Hong
Kong-style noodles; Chinese siopao and siomai; Persian shawarma; the
very Pinoy silog, isaw, balut, chicharon, fishballs and banana cues; or even
inihaw na liempo, pusit, manok, bangus;
and delicious English muffins and American baked goodies.
The prospective food trader may not only earn high incomes but
he will be helping the local economy as well in terms of taxes, as
micro-industries such as street-selling promote financial self-sufficiency for
families as well. For example, he sources his fresh ingredients and raw
materials locally, thereby also benefiting the small-scale suppliers and farm
growers.
One significant concern about street food, though, is health and
sanitation. However, FoodStreet and Tutuban Center officials assure tenants
that the mall administration takes this aspect of the business seriously.
Hygiene, cleanliness and waste disposal will adhere to the strictest standards
as imposed by law and the national and local health department.
Security of both the businessman and his consumers is also of
utmost consideration. The mall’s roving and plainclothes security personnel
will be on hand to ensure the safety of everyone.
So, harness that inherent entrepreneur in you and open your
business at Tutuban Center’s FoodStreet and taste success—in your own terms.
Tutuban’s FoodStreet operations will be from 6 am to 12 midnight
starting July 01, 2012. For leasing inquiries, contact: Gina Villamor and Mary
Anne Suralta, 251-1661 local 125, or direct line, 253-1769.
