Season menu

Before the Storm

A quiet summer storm, lanterns lit, the table laid before the rain.

A menu rooted in Filipino summer memory — humid midnight air, suburban porch light, the temporary warmth before everyone goes home. Six courses moving from breakfast brightness through sour and char into the deep, sweet close.

The arc is small on purpose. Memory doesn’t need to be loud to land.

Inquire

Open the conversation.

Come as you are.

Tell me the date, the room, the people. The menu is built around you — be loose about what you want; I'll reply with a draft.

Send a note

— Come as you are.

How it works

Three quiet steps.

i.

Send the note.

Tell me the date, the room, the people. Be loose — the menu is built around you.

ii.

We talk.

I reply within two days with a draft menu, a price, and a few questions.

iii.

I cook.

I arrive with the kitchen, the plates, the courses. You arrive with the guests.
