California Raisins Meet Filipino Heirloom Dishes With A Twist

If there’s one thing that always brings Filipinos together, it’s food. But when you throw in premium ingredients like California raisins, award-winning chefs, and a reimagining of heirloom dishes?

This week, I had the pleasure of attending a special tasting event at Offbeat Bistro, a cool new retro-modern Filipino restaurant tucked in the heart of Makati (Ayala Triangle Gardens, to be exact).

But the info about his growing reputation as a valued patron in art circles is revealing, if not refreshing. Most of us don't know that JLC seriously dabbles in art and there are photos of all those paintings and sculptures in his apartment.
