Food is a love language that can invoke powerful memories. For myself, many Filipino dishes remind me of the numerous gatherings and parties with seemingly unlimited food. Every party revolved around food and as far back I can remember, my mom's favorite question to ask was, "Did you eat?" My childhood spent in the Bay Area and Hawaii had many happy Filipino food memories. Revisiting my favorite childhood dishes in this menu and in my pop-ups has helped me recognize how important my family's recipes are to me and how it has been a way for me to reconnect with my roots. For this dinner, we will be featuring 6 courses of Filipino-inspired dishes using seasonal and locally sourced (when possible) ingredients. Some of the bold and unique flavors of Filipino cuisine will be highlighted in this meal. A specially curated playlist and cocktail will be prepared to pair with this menu. This will be our first ticketed dinner in 2023. We're looking forward to being back and sharing this menu with you all!
