Filipino chef, Manny Mejia, has been guiding dinners through Japanese food since 1991 – first in his home city of Manila and later in Kinshasa and Kampala.
Now the 54-year-old chef has started preparing Filipino dishes at the Nsaho Resort on the outskirts of Fort Portal in western Uganda. Nicknamed Uganda’s Tourism City, Fort Portal is known to attract large numbers of local and international tourists, and chef Meija – who still prepares Japanese food – says that Filipino food here has already become popular among African tourists.
