Anglo, who also received the Michelin Bib Gourmand distinction for his own Sarsa Kitchen+Bar, called Morning Sun Eatery “the biggest star of them all.”
“This recognition from @michelinguide will change the landscape of Filipino street food [and] Filipino cuisine in general,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Our real local heroes! And this is just the tip of the iceberg… there are still so many Filipino eateries out there. A glimpse of the evolution of our cuisine,” the chef added.
“Thank you, @hapag.mnl, for showing me where you guys go for staff meal. Because of them, we are better cooks,” Anglo said, tagging the account of Hapag, a Filipino restaurant that was awarded one Michelin Star.
