Overview
If you hadn't noticed, Filipino fare is having a serious moment right now in Australia — though if you're a herbivore, you might be yet to get acquainted with the traditionally meaty cuisine. Thankfully, here's your chance: an all-vegan Filipino feast is coming to Melbourne.
On Sunday, August 18, Rice Paper Sister is teaming up with local Filipino collective The Entree.Pinays to host a plant-based version of a classic Filipino lunch feast. Expect a vibrant fusion of Chinese, Malay, Spanish and American cuisines, as has become synonymous with the island nation's fare.
Eaten by hand — the traditional 'kamayan' way — the Vegayan Feast will see you tucking into reimagined favourites including mushroom congee, noodles and lechon paksiw (made without pork, obviously). The Entree.Pinays' co-founder, Grace Guinto of Sweet Cora Cakes, will round out the fun with her range of vegan desserts.
Tickets are $90 a head, which include the shared banquet, matched with both boozy and non-alcoholic drinks. The first sitting runs from noon to 2pm, followed by another from 2.30–4.30pm.
