Las Tuesday, I-Bilib host Chris Tiu joined Marian Rivera and Boobay in a morning of food trip, music, and basketball. He welcomed the Primetime Queen and her BFF to his new business venture in Greenhills, San Juan—Tuantuan.
Translated as round and round, Tuantuan is the first Chinese Brasserie in Metro Manila. It originated from Hong Kong in the early 1960s as a small food joint serving quick and hearty Chinese comfort food.
The episode opened with Chris showing Marian and Boobay the process of making the restaurant’s most popular and best selling product, its pork bun. While going through the process, Chris shared his passion for business as well as tips for aspiring entrepreneurs.
For the first time on television, Chris also talked about fatherhood and married life. While showing Marian and Boobay some of his most personal and unpublished family photos, he talked about the excitement and challenges of being a new father to his first born Amanda. During their chat over food, the audience learned that Marian gave Chris and his wife an advice while they were still praying for a child months after their wedding.
Chris is also a trained pianist. In the episode, he played the keyboard while Boobay and James of Moymoy Palaboy sang.
From his restaurant, Chris brbrought Marian to his regular basketball practice. He taught her the basics of the sport, which Marian applied in a two-on-two game together with one of his coaches and Rain or Shine teammate.
