Exploring the heart of Filipino culture through food

There has been a running joke among our colleagues: “A meeting without food should just be an email.”

Generally, food is a language that brings people together. Just imagine how sharing a load of bread, a plate of pasta, a spoonful of ice cream, or just a bucket of popcorn between two individuals can change the dynamic and quality of their relationships.Food is meant to be shared. Food is something that needs to be savored, to be enjoyed, and to be appreciated.

Chefs Waya Araos-Wijangco, Gel Salonga-Datu, and Rhea Castro-Sycip curated a special menu highlighting Filipino cuisine with contemporary takes. For the special dinner, Chef Araos-Wijangco gave a different interpretation of pinikpikan. She prepared it using the French way of slow-cooking the meat with aromatics and submerging it in its fats. She reduced the soup into an aspic and shredded and molded the meat into a loaf.

I’m all for the sustainable, farm-to-table way of eating. It gives a different dimension to enjoying food.
