Long Beach Chefs Celebrate Filipino Month with Family Pop-Up October 29

For one night only, Chef AC Boral, founder of Rice & Shine Eats and Chef Raquel “Roq” Jubran, chef/co-owner of Lasher’s Kitchen, will transport guests’ taste buds to the Philippines during a Family Feast pop-up dinner in celebration of Filipino-American History Month that takes place every year in October.

The dinner will take place on Monday, October 29th at Lasher’s Kitchen, located at 5295 E. 2^nd Street, Long Beach 90803.

Chefs Boral and Jubran will prepare and serve a 8-course family-style menu that will include traditional Kare Kare, a unique Filipino dish made with simmered oxtail, vegetables and peanut-based sauce, Chicken Adobo, a popular dish made with chicken marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and black peppercorns, seared in oil and then simmered in the marinade, and Ambrosia Fruit Salad made with macapuno (young coconut), various fruits, nuts, cheese, and sweetened condensed milk.
The $65 dinner will begin at 6:30 pm with a special appetizer. Dinner will follow promptly at 7 pm. Two specialty cocktails will be available for purchase during the evening: A Kalamansi Margarita and a Passion Fruit & Blood Orange Mimosa. Music will be provided by DJ HoneyMee.

“Chef Roq and I are excited to share our culture and some of the foods we grew up on with Long Beach diners,” Chef Boral said. “The casual, Filipino family-style setting encourages conversation and will make for an engaging, delicious evening.”

Added Chef Jubran, “A collaboration with fellow Filipino-American Chef AC is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and we figured October being Filipino-American History Month, the timing would be perfect!”
