Dining is never out of fashion with El Celino, bringing local food to the heart of the city --- that is Elda’s dream. Hence the ‘El’ in El Celino. A well-travelled Samareño, Elda always carries the taste of her childhood wherever she goes. An island facing the Pacific is as far away as it could be from her childhood yet the taste of her childhood keeps on coming back, urging her to create and collect the old taste, and mix them with new ones. This is how El Celino came to be. A fusion of island ingredients mingled with flavours coming from the rest of the world. As Elda leads us through memory lane on taste of her childhood, MarCelino, more popularly known as Congressman Nonoy Libanan to his colleagues and constituents, and the partner for life of Elda, unveils to us a portrait of a politician and an artist through his soulful guitar renditions of music that will complement, if not complete our gustatory experience here at El Celino. He will lead us through the powers of his fingers and of his guitar to a taste of fine dining where music becomes almost indispensable. The repertoire that includes a select choice of musical pieces has come to us through time and has become close to his heart and his loved ones. They will allow us to have a glimpse into the soul of a person who had gone through the vicissitudes of life.  These are timeless musical pieces of his heart, almost the songs of his life. That is what ‘Celino’ in El Celino provides us with: Heart and Soul. El Celino… where food and music, body and soul blend together.
