00:00Dito sa Quezon City, isang patok na tambayan ang dinadayo, hindi lang ng foodies, kundi photo enthusiasts din.

00:11Basically, Sunny 16 Film Lab started in 2016.

00:15Naghanap kami ng lab na magde-develop or magpa-process ng film namin.

00:20Para magbabarkada, set up kaya tayo.

00:23So it started with a small cafe dun sa lab where it is now, hanggang sa nakuha namin itong cafe.

00:28From an entrepreneur perspective, syempre the process is one hour developing, diba?

00:34So habang naging hintay ka, cafe ka muna.

00:36Ayon pa kay Sir Nico, kahit digital na tayo ngayon, unti-unti raw nagkakaroon ng interes ang bagong henerasyon sa traditional photography.

00:45And majority of our clientele are actually the younger generation, which is very surprising.

00:51Kasi in the world of puro social media, puro digital, puro AI, lahat tayo naghahanap ng something na totoo, something that's very authentic.

00:59At sa katulad ni Ailey na isang Gen Z, hindi niya pinalampas ang pagkakataon na malaman kung paano dinedevelop ang mga larawan sa isang darkroom.

01:09Sir Nico, ano po ba yung darkroom? And para saan po siya?

01:12Okay, so part ng analog photography or film photography for that matter is we have the darkroom.

01:18Unang-una dito natin dinan-develop yung film para maging negative siya.

01:23Although ito, naprocess na natin sa baba because yun nga, primarily sa Sunny 16, tayo nagde-develop ng film.

01:30So ngayon, what we're gonna do is basically make first parang contact sheet.

01:35Once we have the contact sheet, makikita na natin, ah okay, ito yung gusto ko.

01:39Ito yung maganda, okay, okay.

01:41So napili na natin siya kanina, so kukunin lang natin ito.

01:45And then what we're gonna do is put it here. This is what we call the enlarger.

01:49Let's try this out guys.

01:50So ready? We're gonna turn off the lights.

01:52Okay.

01:54So the red lights, they're actually called the safe lights.

01:57Safe lights.

01:58So ngayon, pwede na natin i-load sa ating enlarger.

02:02Enlarger.

02:03So this is the film holder.

02:05Okay.

02:05So ilalagyan natin yung film natin dito.

02:07You just slide it in.

02:09And then pag-close, we can put it here.

02:16Fit.

02:16So Hailey, gusto kong silipin mo ngayon kung sharp ba yung image.

02:21Ayan, perfect.

02:24Kita ko na yung nose niya.

02:26So after that, papatayin natin yung ilaw.

02:29And then what we're gonna do is pretty much put the paper here.

02:32And then, saset natin yung time.

02:36Usually, mas mahabang proseso siya.

02:39Pero shortcut natin.

02:40So pag-expose natin, automatic na siya.

02:43So once na-expose na natin siya, seven seconds na, we're gonna get the paper.

02:52And then, we're gonna go here.

02:54So, three steps siya.

02:56So bababad muna natin.

02:58Three steps.

02:59This is the developer.

03:01So makikita mo, nalabas na yung image dito.

03:04Oh!

03:05Ayan.

03:06Tapos yung next niya, basically, it's the stop.

03:09Para itigil niya yung process.

03:10And develop.

03:11Pagkatapos tigil ng process, meron yung fix.

03:14Para ma-fix niya yung image.

03:16Okay.

03:16We always encourage people na kahit mag-shoot kayo ng film, or kahit digital for that matter.

03:23It's always different na pag nag-reprint.

03:27For someone na hindi na naabutin yung mga ganitong process ng pag-de-develop.

03:32Therapeutic po siya sa amin.

03:33Lalo na sa akin kasi bagong bago siya.

03:37Because in this day and age, yung technology natin very advanced na.

03:41So yung pagkuhan ng mga photos, yung pag-post, yun na yung normal.

03:48Pero ngayon ko na-realize na ako nga pala, iba pa rin talaga kapag physically mo nahahawakan yung mga photos.

03:57So one of our, actually our managing partner, si Francis.

04:01Siya nagsimula.

04:03Tapos madalas kasi we're all foodies.

04:06Tapos majority dun yung parts mahilig sa kape.

04:09So pag nagme-meeting, parang, oh ito, ito.

04:12And then our chef, si Chef Denmark, he's very into Asian cuisine.

04:16So nagkakaroon ng Asian fusion with our menu.

04:19So umpisaan natin dito sa kanilang salpikaw.

04:21Oh my gosh!

04:22Isa to sa mga favorite dishes ko, guys.

04:26Yung amoy pa lang neto, guys.

04:27Super garlicky yung man.

04:32Masarap!

04:33Ang linam nam.

04:34Ang garlicky.

04:35Sometimes kasi yung mga salpikaw, mas nanging ibabaw yung lasa ng soy sauce.

04:39Pero eto hindi, guys.

04:48Eto yung brown butter latte.

04:53Isipin niya, guys, yung, kung nakatikim na kayo ng butter beer,

04:57gawin niyo siyang coffee, pero yung linam nam nung butter sa butter beer,

05:01nandito siya.

05:02Pero mas milkier yung taste.

05:04And very light.

05:06Mayroon din sila ditong Wagyu Cube Pokeball.

05:10So tikman muna natin yung Wagyu Cube, okay?

05:14Gawin, ang sarap!

05:15Ang lamot, guys!

05:17Kung naghahanap kayo ng lasa ng baka, malinis,

05:21tapos magaan,

05:24eto yung perfect para sa inyo.

05:25Okay, first time ko pong iinom ng matcha sa buong buhay ko.

05:28So tikman natin, everyone!

05:30Tama na!

05:37Oh, ganun pala yung lasa ng matcha!

05:40Actually, I think this is the perfect way to introduce matcha sa akin

05:44because hindi ganun katapang.

05:46Okay, guys!

05:47Try naman natin yung kanilang all-day breakfast.

05:50Eto talaga yung pumukaw ng pansin ko kanina, guys,

05:52kasi yung pancake nila, it's perfectly made.

05:55Bilog na bilog.

05:56Very moist.

06:01Hindi siya drying.

06:02Kasi maraming pancake,

06:04na kapag kinain mo siya, nakakatuyo siya ng lalamunan.

06:07Yung kanila, hindi ganun, guys.

06:09Hindi siya ganun katamis.

06:11Now, isabay natin siya sa bacon

06:13kasi ako,

06:14as a kapampangan girl,

06:16love na love kong pinagsusama ang maalat at matamis.

06:20Mmm!

06:22Try natin yung flat white nila.

06:24Masarap siya kahit na very matapang siya.

06:33Yung mga kinakain ko naman ngayon

06:34are actually perfect for people na vegan.

06:38Dahil etong dinatry ko ngayon is vegan sisig.

06:41Para talaga akong kumakain ng pork sisig,

06:43pero tofu yung nandito sa loob niya.

06:45Ang galing.

06:46Nalalasan ko yung baboy kahit walang baboy.

06:48So, eto is cauliflower na may sriracha.

06:52Dahil nakikita mo, visually nakikita mo siyang mukhang chicken.

06:58Parang ang nalalasan mo na rin chicken.

07:00Yung pinaka-favorite ko po is yung salpikaw.

07:03Sobrang gustong-gusto ko yung garlicky flavor

07:05ng salpikaw nila.

07:07Tapos sa drinks naman, yung favorite ko yung

07:09caramel latte.

07:12Sobrang sarap niya.

07:13Very mild lang yung lasa.

07:15Pero, nabibigay niya yung kick ng coffee na meat ko.

07:18Sobrang gustong-gusto ko.
