HISTORY
Razon Family
Virginia, Severina, Elena Razon
Razon’s was founded and originally owned by the Razon siblings Virginia, Severina, Elena Razon of Guagua, Pampanga founded and originally owned Razon’s which they had it simply started with a Halo-Halo and Pancit Luglug cooked for the consumption of their large family. However, the delicious taste of their cooking soon became a word of the mouth in the entire town of Guagua. Soon enough, the Razon’s siblings started to build a modest halo-halo stand in front of their home that eventually became the summer hub for locals and tourists alike. Since then, Razon’s Restaurant did not only made a name for itself but also it drove the whole country to regard the whole town of Guagua as the place where the best Halo-Halo is served.
In the year 1996, Razon’s Restaurant started to expand to bring authentic Kapampangan food and other Filipino favorites throughout the country.
RAZON’s BY GLENN
In 2003, Mark Anthony “Glenn” Razon-Carreon, a 3rd generation Razon, opened its first store in Tarlac under the trade name Razon’s Restaurant by Glenn Razon.
Under his management with the company tagline “Tradition of Delight”, he brought innovation to the aspirations of the brand to be on par with the food industry. Glenn has also started franchising and rebranding his company in 2015 to what is now known as Razon’s By Glenn (RBG) which aims to bring the brand to a wider market by creating its unique “Razon’s By Glenn” menu and experience by offering affordable, quality and delicious food.
HALO-HALO
What sets the Razon’s Halo-Halo apart from the others is its main ingredients. While others have the mix and match ingredients of sugared fruit tidbits, Razon’s had only three-sweetened ingredients; macapuno, sweetened saba and leche flan. With these three main ingredients, it never failed to melt not only in the mouths of the customers but also in their hearts as well without feeling guilty to finish an entire pint. Plus, their Halo-Halo is made from a finely-shaved ice that you will confuse it with snow.
PALABOK (PANCIT LUG-LUG)
