This time, we have Bettina Osmeña of Gourmet Corner in the spotlight. Known for the delicious homecooked meals she delivers to homes around the metro, Bettina is a firm believer in using only the finest ingredients to cook up her signature dishes. Compromising or using sub-par substitutes is a strict no-no, while she's also not a big fan of rushing the cooking process. Great food like hers requires lots of TLC — in terms of time, ingredients, and presentation, too.
See what she has to suggest for best restaurants and caterers around town you can try out for yourself — including her own creations, of course!
