About Timpla:
Timpla is the Tagalog word for "season, blend, mix." Our dishes weave Filipino cuisine with Modern American culinary techniques. As Filipino-Americans, we distinguish ourselves neither as Filipino nor American individually, but products of both. When approaching food, we believe our blended cultural upbringing empowers us to push past the traditional and into the innovative. Our cuisine tells the complex—yet immensely gratifying—story of finding your place in a melting pot culture. We invite you on our pilgrimage to the past, present, and future of Filipino cuisine.

About PILYO:
PILYO means “cheeky” in Tagalog. PILYO Chefs Morris Baco and Inigo Castillo put the bold and saucy in Grandma Filo’s cooking using a playful approach whilst paying tribute to traditional flavours. So come and shout the all-familiar “wala ‘yan sa lola ko!" (that’s nothing like my grandmother’s!). We respect these recipes that are part of our tradition but at the same time we apply cooking techniques that make the dish, including its presentation, current. Simply put, we add a little cheek and that’s why we’re PILYO! Instagram: @PILYOSydney Facebook: facebook.com/PILYOsydney Inquiries: Email PILYO |

IRENIA SUPPER CLUB
Orange County - USA #FFMSoCal #IreniaSupperClub Mission: Named for Chef Ryan Garlitos’ grandmother, the Irenia Supper Club aims to create modern Filipino inspired dishes that are reflective of grandmother’s style and values and also demonstrate Chef’s commitment to making deliciously imaginative plates.

About Irenia Supper Club:
Since the beginning of Chef Ryan’s culinary career, he has dreamed of opening his own restaurant named after his grandmother, Irenia. His earliest food memories are centered around her making longanisa in his families back yard, wearing floral dresses she sewed herself. However, these aren’t Grandmother’s recipes, but rather Filipino inspired food through Chef’s refined lens. This is food prepared in the style Chef Ryan prefers to eat. Which means, farmers market vegetables, tender braised meats and plenty of perfectly tempered rice. While you’ll find familiar dishes like kinilaw, nilaga and tinola on our revolving menu, you’ll see they are created using unexpected ingredients that conjure unique flavors.
