05 August 2021 – Vancouver PCG led by Philippine Consul General Maria Andrelita S. Austria showed support for Shameless Buns, a "jeepney"-inspired food truck which will officially open a permanent restaurant space in Vancouver on Saturday, 07 August 2021.
Co-owners Matt Brennan and Corvette Romero discussed with the Consul General the Filipino elements they have incorporated in the design of the restaurant like photos of Philippine street scenes that adorn one wall, abanico and walis tambo decors and Filipino-inspired interior lighting. These creative elements complement the mouth-watering Filipino comfort food that they offer such as pandesal sandwiches featuring longganisa, tapa and embutido, along with poutine-inspired loaded adobo and sinigang fries, Pinoy ice candy and exciting specials combining Filipino spaghetti and lumpia.
Consul General Austria congratulated Shameless Buns on the opening of its new restaurant and expressed appreciation for their efforts in promoting Filipino cuisine, ingredients and culture in Canada.
