Grill of the Orient Grand Opening

Anaheim, CA - Grill of the Orient or GOTO, a new Filipino gathering place for good food and Karaoke formally opened last night along West Ball Road in Anaheim. The place was visited by mostly Filipinos, young and old, looking for entertainment and good tasting Filipino food.

The grand opening featured a short comic performance by veteran comedienne Bernardo Bernardo. "Idol" April Boy sang few of his famous classics while giving away his shirts and caps to GOTO visitors. Concert producer Ernan Ebreo (EE Entertainment) celebrated his birthday that opening night and with him are his friends and co-producers Joel Macaspac of TEN (The Entertainment Netowrk) and Roni Collantes of Rongi Entertainment. The trios latest promotion is the Men of the 80's with Randy Santiago, Raymond Lauchengco, Gino Padilla and Luoie Heredia live in Anaheim this coming August 22, 2009.

Also present at the opening is the one and only veteran director, Bert de Leon. Bert has been directing the top rated noontime show Eat Bulaga since day 1, 30 years ago and is here to direct the upcoming show "Ate Guy at si Chuchay" which will be held at the Heritage in Anaheim.
It was a privelege having to chat with the famous director of the noontime show we all grew up with.
Grill of the Orient is the newest spot for Filipinos in Orange County. It offers Filipino dishes like Crispy Pats, Sisig, Papaitan and more plus a Karaoke for those who love to sing and will soon be having stand up comedy shows.
Congratulations to Magellan and to GOTO!

  2. Can't wait for GOTO's KARAOKE HOSTS/KOMEDIANS... I miss LAFFLINE, PUNCHLINE, ZIRKOH - comedy bars in Manila. I heard GOTO Management is very picky on choosing their future hosts/comedians. I don't blame them.. too many "wanna be's" out there... oh, and also heard (tsismosa ako, 'censya na)one of the owners is a former PI showbiz personality and has a connection to one of LAs biggest Entertainment Studio Company....
    Anyways, my latest visit to GOTO was a pleasant one. Nothing special - just felt I was very welcome and people there are warm and friendly....
    I just hope they last- my prediction, forever. Way to go G.O.T.O.!!!
