DOBBY DOBBY called to ask if he could drop by, eat his favourite Adobo, and bring a camera to film it. Of course, it’s a massive YES!

This humble yet incredibly talented, ARIA Award-winning Filipino-Muruwari artist is dominating the local and global music scene but he will always have a special place here at Descanso. His new music single "Free Your Mind" just dropped, and we couldn't be prouder!

The ultimate Ube indulgence! 💜

Our signature Ube Cake - layered with a rich Ube Halaya filling and blanketed in a smooth, velvety ube ganache. It's perfectly sweet, nutty, and ube-loaded.

We are incredibly honoured to have witnessed the success of Saviour by Happy Feraren at the Belvoir St Theatre. The performance was an emotional rollercoaster—it had us laughing out loud, and unexpectedly brought us to tears. It was a powerful reminder of the resilience of Filipinos; a strength born out of survival rather than choice. We are truly a tough race to break.

Salamat sa cast and crew nang Saviour and Griffin Theatre Company. More shows in the future 😉 Happy R. Feraren, your Descanso fam is always happy to serve 👏👏

What is a Boodle Fight? (And Why You Need to Try It)

Ever heard of a boodle fight? This epic feast actually started in the Philippine military as a way to build teamwork and equality. Ranks are left at the door as soldiers stand shoulder to shoulder, digging into a massive spread of food with their bare hands.

Today, this tradition has moved from the barracks to backyard parties. It has become the ultimate symbol of Filipino hospitality. It is all about bringing family, friends, and communities together to share incredible food and good vibes.

If you want to experience it, we can set a table for you.
