Neil’s Kitchen is a restaurant owned by Chef Neil Ramos, a chef renowned in the catering business for more than 15 years. It serves Filipino cuisine with a modern twist, as the dishes they serve are not the usual ones you see in other eating hubs.
Take for example their best-selling Sinigang Paella with Grilled Pork Belly, which is a hit because of its interesting take on Filipino sour stew sinigang made into a Spanish rice dish paella. They’ve been innovating Filipino dishes with adding their own twist to and adding different flavorful components.
