After a lot of public day dreaming, Janice de Belen and her son Chef Luigi Muhlach finally opened a restaurant of their own just a few days ago. Amacena specializes in Filipino fusion cuisine, so expect Pinoy classics executed with exciting twists. Typical adobo, for example, is transformed into bruschetta with kesong puti and grape salsa.
