FILIPINO SPECIALS AT YUZU, ST. ROCH MARKET (MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT | JUNE 2018 | MIAMI, FLORIDA 

Hi everyone! We know we have been quiet but we have been busy with rebranding (did you notice our new logo?!) and with migrating to our new website (this one!) but our first event in 2018 is also our first… in the United States of America! 

This month, in Miami, Florida, we are working with one of the nicest, humblest chefs– the very talented Andrew Zarzosa of Yuzu Miami, a new Southeast Asian concept at the upscale St. Roch Market (which just opened this February 2018) in Miami’s fashionable Design District– to bring you FILIPINO FOOD in honor of Philippine Independence Day (June 12) FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF JUNE!!!

The entire month of June– in Miami!!!

Now a little bit about Andrew. Although originally from Miami, he traveled extensively around Asia– he worked in  Indonesia (executive chef at Fairmont Jakarta), The Philippines (F&B Manager at Makati Shangri-La), Malaysia (executive sous chef at Shangri-La Rasa Ria Kota Kinabalu), and likewise the Bahamas, Dubai, and spent some time in Singapore. Now, he’s finally back in his homeland! Yuzu is an amalgamation of his travels.

*The taba ng talangka is by Asia’s Best Female Chef 2016 Margarita Fores all the way from the Philippines– and we loved how Andrew prepared it, sauteed with shrimps, chili, shallots, ginger, and with a squeeze of calamansi!

There’s not a lot of Philippine representation in this part of the US and we would like to introduce our fabulous cuisine, so please do feel free to spread the word! xx
