2010: Mel and Joey

2010:
Mel and Joey!

Hosts of the popular Sunday Evening magazine show Mel and Joey, Joey de Leon and Mel Tiangco, and their film crews, paid a visit to Turo-Turo in October while filming in NZ for their 6th anniversary episode.

The café featured in their show on November 21st (watch the Turo segment here!) and both Joey and Mel chose to eat at Turo-Turo - and by all accounts, loved the food. Joey de Leon had tapsilog and followed it up with a halo-halo. Mel Tiangco enjoyed the dinuguan

The 6th Anni- versary show was widely watched on Pinoy TV and online by Filipinos back home, and in New Zealand, and had an instant impact on the café's popularity.

A gift of a Turo-Turo T-shirt to Joey de Leon ended up being worn by the host on his daytime entertainment show, Eat Bulaga.

Our thanks go to the Mel and Joey production team's researcher, JM Solon, whose online research uncovered Turo-Turo and led to their visit. JM, you are welcomed with open arms to New Zealand any time!
