It was in 1982 when Tina Ebrada, one of Cebu’s foremost pioneers in Filipino cuisine, founded the original Golden Cowrie Native Restaurant.
Just like the prized golden cowrie shell, the restaurant soon became very popular among Cebuanos and their visitors. After two decades of serving excellent Filipino cuisine, the tradition continues.
The restaurant brand was later embraced by the Kokseng family under Cebu Golden Restaurant, Incorporated. The new Golden Cowrie management absorbed 100 percent of the original concept, manpower, recipes and much of the restaurant structure. At the helm of operations is Kenneth Kokseng, of the 3rd generation, who made enhancements to make way for the ultimate dining experience.
Patrons now experience and re-experience Golden Cowrie goodness at Golden Cowrie Restaurant at SM City Cebu. Kristine R. Kokseng, wife of Kenneth, oversees kitchen operations and ensures that diners enjoy the same uncompromised quality in food and service.
