The Inspiration of Upland Cavite


The hills and mountains of upland Cavite has been traditionally a perfect breeding ground for cattle, livestock and pineapple. Majority of residents are small business owners based on farming or community services, professionals and teachers. Though very traditional and conservative in social and economic picturesque, it is safe to say that poverty is practically inexistent in this province filled with history and culinary culture. As late as the early 1990s, the town of Silang, where my Lola Francisca (Kikay) hails from, was dotted by 18th century houses that bore the character of the Revolution that gave birth to a nation.

Cavite is seat of the Filipino Revolution, being home to the Magdalo, the republican elements of the Kataastaasang Kagalanggalang na Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan that became the First Philippine Republic and rising courtiers of Imperial Manila. As such, the ways and food of Cavite bears the perfect character for Filipino Haute Cuisine and a gourmet kitchen.

The conspiracy of Caviteño Regional Cooking and Nouvelle Cuisine brings forth the revival of Filipino Haute Cuisine. A beautiful marriage that brings to life a whole experience of revolution, food and culture!
