00:00I'm here now in Osteria, where the tree of wisdom is none other than Ms. Ara Mina.

00:07Hello, Ara.

00:08Hello.

00:09I'm just curious, Ara, why did you think of this? What inspired you to put up a food business?

00:15Well, before, I thought of three things, either spa, parlor, or restaurant.

00:22When I analyzed and surveyed, the restaurant was the one that survived.

00:29Food.

00:30Food business. Why Italian?

00:33Yes, I thought, why fine dining?

00:35I feel like, for the character of the artists, what you would put up would be something fast,

00:42because our life is fast-paced.

00:43Like a bar?

00:44If not, something fast, let's say fast food, small-scale business.

00:51Italian or a bar?

00:53I don't like going to a bar. Actually, I like restaurant hopping.

01:00I like the ambience, relaxing.

01:05Other restaurants have inspired me, like Blue Bacon, Annabelle's, things like that.

01:12So, why Italian?

01:14Because I love pasta.

01:16Oh, you really love pasta. So, it has to be something that appeals to you.

01:21Everywhere I go, it's like, do you have pasta?

01:27So, where did your inspiration come from?

01:29Like, did you research, did you look for someone to help you conceptualize this?

01:34Well, it just so happened that I had a partner who knows Italian food.

01:41So, blessing this, guys, I want to put up a restaurant.

01:45Before, I was like a Filipino, because of course, I don't know any Italians.

01:54So, I met someone, and that's when the opportunity came.

02:02What does Osteria mean? Does it have a meaning?

02:05Osteria is an alternative to a restaurant or a trattoria.

02:11It's like a cafe bar restaurant in Italy.

02:14But I haven't been to Italy yet.

02:16That's okay.

02:17I'm planning to.

02:18Really?

02:19Yes, so I can get more ideas.

02:22Are you really the supervisor here? Are you here every night?

02:26No, when I don't have work.

02:28My sister works here, my cousin, and we have a manager.

02:32So, from time to time, they report to me.

02:35Then, mostly because I conceptualize this restaurant.

02:40Because I like to design.

02:43Really?

02:44Yes.

02:45So, you're in charge of the interior?

02:47Yes, I'm in charge of the idea.

02:49Nice, this is a cozy place.

02:51But I didn't paint it.

02:52Of course, but...

02:54Okay.

02:55What's the house specialty?

02:57For example, if I'm going to eat here, what would you recommend?

03:01Well, Tagliatelle alla Aramina.

03:04My chef gave it to me.

03:05Really?

03:06Yes, there's something like that.

03:07Yes, there's something like that.

03:08He gave it to me.

03:11So, every time you're here, do you order from others or do you really eat here?

03:16Here, I really eat here.

03:18Sometimes, of course, I don't like it too heavy.

03:22I just have a sandwich and take out for others.

03:25But most of the time, all of my meetings are here.

03:29You hold it here?

03:30Yes.

03:31Okay, I heard that you're going to cook today?

03:36I'm going to cook.

03:38Okay, I'll try.

03:39I haven't tried cooking yet.

03:41Oh, and you're really going to cook the house specialty?

03:44Yes, I hope so.
