The Early Days
As this iconic spot celebrated its golden anniversary on 10 October 2020. Peter Ng, president of Kimpura, recalled the early days.
“It was Mr Luis Yulo Sr, Mr Gilbert Teodoro Sr, and my father Mr Joseph Henry Ng who grouped themselves to form a Japanese restaurant. The idea of having a Japanese restaurant appealed to them. My father liked the idea. When they put up the restaurant, there was no enterprising purpose. It was the love and enjoyment of Japanese food.”
