Beyond cocktails, After Hours places equal emphasis on food. Recognizing the importance of pulutan <\/em>in Filipino drinking culture, the bar offers a selection of dishes designed to accompany drinks and encourage sharing among friends and groups.<\/p>\n

One of its featured dishes is the Sinigang Risotto<\/strong>, which combines creamy risotto cooked in tangy sinigang broth with crispy pork belly, vegetables, and saut\u00e9ed shrimp paste. The dish brings together sour, savory, and umami-rich flavors in a modern interpretation of a Filipino classic.<\/p>\n
