Chef Patrick “Pat” Go and his team crafted a gastronomic journey with a brand new exclusive bistronomy-style menu, a preview of Your Local’s new offers. With a focus on Asian flavors accentuated by Filipino ingredients and cooking techniques, Chef Pat Go shares, “This time I wanted to incorporate separate viands and then they can choose their own rice. It's like an Asian bistro menu.'

Diners can anticipate an array of delectable options, ranging from small plates to shareable mains and of course unique desserts. The menu showcases a harmonious blend of beloved favorites from Your Local's regular offerings, including the Chili Crab Somen, Torched Salmon Donburi, Chili Crab Bun, and the Choco na Gatas.

The second pop-up will feature a Balmori-exclusive menu of 16 dishes, including four Your Local classics from the main branch in Legazpi Village.

'We want to introduce a lot of small plates and sharing plates,' Chef Pat Go explains. 'It's more of a small plate interpretation of comfort food dishes. We wanted the menu to be very approachable and people could easily relate to it.'

To complement the new “bistronomy” dishes, Your Local has partnered with Some Love, importers of natural wines, to feature a selection of wines perfectly suited to enhance the dining experience.

Reflecting on the inspiration behind the menu, Chef Pat Go shares, 'Most of the items have different Filipino ingredients or techniques. There’s a lot of Bacolod ingredients as well since my family's from Bacolod.” He adds, 'With this one, I added a few touches of Filipino ingredients and Filipino food memories from my travels. Whenever we eat out, these are the things that inspire us.'
