Since 2016, Chef Laudico OK Café has been quietly serving the small community within the vicinity of Renaissance Tower in Pasig. Over the pandemic, the clamor for their comfort food and modern Filipino dishes increased.
Today, the creations of chef Lau and chef Jac Laudico can be ordered warm and ready-to-serve or frozen and can be reheated anytime. Also available are big servings in trays for gatherings or portioned individually in bento boxes for virtual celebrations. “We had to pivot and adjust to the demands of our customers in the new normal,” said chef Lau.
Among their best-sellers are Angus Beef Tapa, Bacon Bagnet, and Lechon Kawali Sinigang. The Crispy Pata, Tender Beef Pares, and Angus Beef Kare-Kare are very popular too. For the vegans, there’s Vegan Kare-Kare with Vegan Bagoong. Everything is cooked the traditional way – no shortcuts, no MSG. For dessert, some of the options are the Queso de Bola Cheesecake topped with Cashewnut Brittle, Tablea Chocolate Tart, and Keto Burnt Basque Cheesecake.
Chef Laudico OK Café bento boxes start at P300, inclusive of 2 viands or can be customized according to the client’s preference. Chef Laudico OK Café has delivered as many as 900 bento boxes for one occasion. “With the restrictions relaxing, we’ve also been providing catering services offsite and accommodating gatherings at the café,” shared chef Jac.
You can do your gift shopping at Chef Laudico OK Café too. Anyone is sure to be impressed by their very premium Roast Pork Belly Stuffed with Lemongrass served with Traditional Paella Rice with Pinakurat Glaze and Liver Sauce or their Roast Turkey with Pan Gravy served with Chestnuts and Chorizo Cornbread Stuffing or Traditional Saffron Paella. For smaller tokens, there are handmade chocolate truffles and pralines, assorted pastries, and breads from their deli.
