Magda sundae, Biko ice cream, poached rhubarb, pomegranate and elderflower syrup
To finish, from our menu
Biko is a native Filipino delicacy — a sweet kakanin (rice cake) made from glutinous sticky rice, coconut milk, and brown sugar. We’ve reimagined this classic treat as a dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan ice cream. Spun to evoke the nostalgia of sorbetes (Filipino street-style ice cream) waiting for the mamang sorbetero (ice cream man), its creamy melt brings back the rich, signature mouthfeel of traditional biko.
This has been on the dessert menu for a while now as we looked to expand the offering to purvey to dairy free, gluten free and vegan guest. The Magda sundae is also the perfect vibrant finish after a hearty meal.
Discover a creative type of Filipino nostalgia, where everything is made…

ICONIC EATS
Our signature Charcoal steak, (Carlo’s dad’s recipe) has now been voted (by you) two years in a row for this accolade. This dish now shares the prestigious accolade with another signature dish of ours, Pyanggang of lamb ribs.
As we enter our fifth (5th) year, this could not come at a better time. This recognition exemplifies our commitment to consistency while overcoming obstacles, breaking boundaries and exploring the possible creative opportunities to showcase a new wave of Filipino in Aotearoa to the world.
We have a lot of exciting things in the pipeline that will celebrate our love for collaboration and diversity.
Discover all things that with intent,

Behind the pass: ube pan de sal, parmesan custard
A sneak peak of our in house bread, pan de sal, a traditional Filipino dinner roll. We make ours with a four day levain that gives our bread nicer structure while keeping its nice fluffy and soft texture.
Flavoured with ube, a root vegetable that is indigenous to the Philippines. While known for its sweet preparations, ube is utilised by Filipinos, particularly the Aetas in a wide variety of ways from savoury to sweet preparations.
Discover more of what goes behind the pass as we share a rare glimpse of the magic that happens in our kitchen before it reaches your table.
