The younger Belo hosted the dinner party for the Hollywood stars at the Filipino restaurant Abe.

"Talagang interesado silang malaman yung culture at kung ano ba talagang lahi ng mga Pinoy at bakit daw ganito ang itsura natin," Barranda said.

During the dinner, Weisz and Renner were served pinaputok na tilapia, adobo and gising-gising, the model said.

"Hindi sila nagda-diet, rice talaga. Nag-enjoy sila at nagustuhan nila ang binukadkad na tilapya, adobo -- hindi maiiwan ang adobo -- at ang gising-gising 'yung putahe na may coconut milk. Gusto talaga nila.

"At nage-enjoy sila kasi napakaganda daw pala talaga ang Pilipinas. Nagshoo-shoot sila sa maliliit na daan pero siyempre may mga lugar din silang ibang nakikita. Hanggang sa February pa sila dito so gusto nilang makita kung ano pa ang makikita dito sa Pilipinas. Si Jeremy, nagpunta na siya sa Boracay; si Rachel gusto ding mag-Boracay," Barranda said.

Aside from the place, the Hollywood stars said they really enjoy the warm smiles of Filipino children.
