Chef has made Dinuguan - Black Pudding Stew. This is essentially a pork stew, composed of black pudding, as the star attraction. Support acts from spices and chillies. The black pudding creates a velvet and creamy luscious sauce.

mama’s kubo’s story
Chef & proud owner is Rommel Bustarde, a British Filipino who's been in the restaurant industry for over 30 years. He honed his skills by working for the maverick & groundbreaking restaurateur, @Alan Yau for over 20 years. He began sharpening his knife in Wagamama in the 1990s, followed by Busaba, Naamyaa, Babaji Pide & Yamabahçe, all of which are Yau creations. His chef training began as a Commis Chef in Wagamama in the 1990s
and impressively progressed to Head Chef in Busaba, heading up kitchen operations for 11 outlets, then as the Director for kitchen operations in Babaji Pide. This talented and instinctive chef has carved several notches under his apron by learning entirely new cuisines on the get-go. Japanese dishes @Wagamama, Thai cuisine @Busaba,Turkish food @Babaji Pide. Now finally, he can focus on the cuisine from his original heritage.
‘Kubo’, is the Filipino word for a ‘thatched hut’. Therefore, the literal translation is Mama’s hut. The dishes are inspired by the food that mothers and grandmothers lovingly cooked for their families. Naturally, the Chef has also infused the dishes with his own signature flavours, for instance, the Kare-Kare dish pictured above.
Filipino cuisine is a smorgasbord of Spanish, Chinese, Malaysian, Indonesian influences. As a former colony of Spain in the 15th century, the Spanish influence strongly infuses several dishes. For instance its geographical location in South East Asia, is responsible for the culinary narrative of the other neighbouring countries.
