Chef Flores draws from his Cavite roots and fine dining training at Oriole to create inventive dishes like maitake mushroom adobo with mussel emulsion, squid ink pancit with scallop conserva and Serrano ham, and the famous cassava cake with crab fat and trout roe. Kwon's pastry expertise shines in sophisticated desserts like halo-halo with Asian pear granita and pandan ice cream using Flores's mother's leche flan recipe.
