CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- Seafood restaurant The Orange Bucket (TOB) celebrated the first anniversary of its third and biggest branch in Plaridel, Bulacan.

TOB owner Mia Caballa said with the restaurant's success in the thriving community, "It is only fitting that we give back to our valued diners who enabled us to reach our first-year milestone."

Highlights of the anniversary celebration include a motorcade, thanksgiving mass, and lunch graced by the local government officials and the media. The restaurant has also rolled out affordable promotions and special rewards intended to show appreciation to customers.

"We are truly grateful for the continuous patronage, trust, and support of our customers who inspire us to go beyond the extra mile and look for more ways to improve our services and the cuisines we offer," Caballa added.

As part of their food innovation strategy, Caballa said the management continuously sends TOB chefs to international cooking classes to further master their craft.

"Just recently, we sent our chefs to Osaka, Japan to help cultivate and improve their Japanese cooking skills. In previous years, they had extensive training in Singapore and Bangkok, Thailand. We want to see to it that we bring the true, authentic taste of every Asian cuisine that we serve for our customers here in the Philippines," Caballa said.

With its competitive approach to business, the company has been a top-notch recipient of various awards given by acclaimed award-giving bodies in the country including the Golden Globe Annual Awards for Business Excellence which hailed TOB as the "Best Seafood Restaurant in Pampanga."

In addition, the International Management Excellence Awards named the dining outlet as the "Most Outstanding Exquisitely-Flavored Seafood Cuisine Restaurant" while the Philippine Social Media Awards regarded it as the "Star Brand Seafood Restaurant" due to its wide social media presence and reach.
