In 1956 Charito Solis played a Korean war bride in the movie Ulilang Bituin opposite Mario Montenegro. Little did we know that this was a true-to-life story of Rocky Flores and Kim Chung Ae (baptized as Fideliza).

"Wooed by Rocky Flores relentlessly, Fideliza agreed to get married and make Manila her new home. The romance was transformed into a heartwarming movie with Ms. Charito Solis taking on the role of Fideliza."

"In the early ‘70s, Fedeliza made her mark in the annals of Manila’s restaurant history by opening a Korean Restaurant located in Jupiter St. Makati."

Do you know the name of this famous restaurant?
