Rice & Mysticism: A Six-Course Love Letter to Filipino Food

Step into a guided culinary journey that traces the spiritual and cultural history of rice in pre-colonial Philippines — through six unforgettable courses, where every dish shares one humble, powerful ingredient: rice.

Award-winning local chef Earl Briones invites you to Rice & Mysticism, an immersive dining experience that explores the stories, rituals, and myths surrounding the grain that shaped civilizations. As you savour each course, Chef Earl will share personal reflections and ancestral histories, inspired by his own Kapampangan roots — a region once known for its abundant rice cultivation. From childhood favourites reimagined, to dishes inspired by harvest rituals and ancient traditions, this dinner is a love letter to home, heritage, and the shared table. Storytelling woven into the evening, bringing to life the rich history of rice in Filipino culture.
