Modern 19th century

back-lit illustration of a farmer in 19th century Filipino clothes
Crisostomo at Eastwood Mall specializes in Filipino cuisine, specifically Spanish-influenced dishes that could be found on the dining tables of Manileños at the turn of the 19th century. But in a very modern setting. The illustrations on the walls feature clothes worn by various classes of Filipinos at the time, drawn on back-lit glass.

Another absolutely perfect photograph! You must have very steady hands or use a tripod!

Kudos to Crisostomo for putting up such wonderful illustrations which are not only lovely to look at but offer a bit of history, too!
