What is your signature dish?

Honestly any Filipino stews I love, Sinigang, afritada, munggo with rice of course..I love soup!

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I’m really rooting for the females in the industry. We all have to prove ourselves in this male dominated world. It’s funny to think they want “women to be in the kitchen.”

What would you do with the $25,000?

Start my food truck and catering business for one! Just even getting the start of it- insurance, permits, licenses..so stressful to think about
