You’ve asked for it and now it’s back in the menu. Our tap-silog will be on the menu tomorrow and will be making its way to be an addition to our silogs…. Beef marinaded in calamansi juice and soy sauce with a fried egg and garlic. It’s truly a classic 👌🏽

See you guys for brunch and stay tuned for our new summer hours coming 2nd week of July.

The James Beard Awards always gets Chicago buzzing. A lot of talented chefs fly in from around the country to celebrate culinary excellence. I feel like it’s been a nonstop party since Thursday lol.

It was an amazing weekend meeting and getting to know some people in the industry…. from people in and outside of the kitchen. I’m thankful for the peeps that took time to visit the restaurant. The city was definitely electric.

Can’t wait to see who wins tonight! Congratulations to all the nominees.

….. a little on what goes on in the kitchen before the food comes out.

Thank you to everyone who attends my little chef’s 4 course tasting menu event. This is my third one and can’t wait for next month’s dinner.

How is this different from other restaurant’s tasting menu? First, its affordable. It’s priced at $43 (my age lol). Can’t beat that! Secondly, the menu ranges from what I cook at the restaurant and what I cook at home for my family so essentially you’re getting a home cooked meal :)
Come on, the food is served on disposables.
Thirdly, I take these dinners as an opportunity to serve you guys like you are family. I love sitting down to interact and get to know you guys better.

Thank you guys again for keep coming for these dinners. I absolutely love them! Next one is set for 6/24/26. Can’t wait to have you guys in.

Big shout out to Ash for the assistance for these dinners :)

What a difference….. it’s been exactly 60 days ago since my surgery and I’m so happy to be cancer free. I want to call this my “comeback era” as I rebuild the business and regain my strength back. Slowly, but surely and keeping busy.

One thing is for sure that I’m so grateful to everyone who kept ATOTP alive when I was out. It’s really does take a village and I’m so lucky to have people that care about me, my family and staff. You guys are amazing!

It was rough. The mental toll it took on me was so hard more than the physical aspect of this whole ordeal. I’m happy to be out and being active, but I know I still have a long ways to go until I get everything back. In time, I just have to be patient.

Here we go 🔥🔥🔥🔥

What people say

If you're looking for a unique and flavorful dining experience, Filipino restaurants are a must-try. And if you happen to be in Chicago, A Taste of the Philippines on N Clinton Street is definitely worth checking out. This restaurant offers a wide range of classic Filipino dishes such as chicken adobo, pancit, bistek Tagalog, and kare-kare. But what sets them apart is their creative take on these traditional dishes.

Their manok sa gata (chicken in coconut milk) is a must-try - the creamy sauce perfectly complements the tender chicken. And their ginulayang tofu/manok/shrimp (vegetable stir fry with either tofu, chicken or shrimp) is a delicious and healthy option for those looking for something lighter. Of course, no Filipino meal is complete without lumpia (Filipino spring rolls), and A Taste of the Philippines' beef and vegetarian lumpias are some of the best we've had.

But what really makes A Taste of the Philippines stand out is their commitment to sharing Filipino culture through food. They serve at farmers markets and offer catering services, making it easy for anyone to try their delicious dishes. And with friendly service and reasonable prices, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. So next time you're in Chicago, make sure to stop by A Taste of the Philippines on N Clinton Street - your taste buds will thank you!
