Authentic experience - Loved this class! the hosts were so lovely and really made you feel like part of their family. You can do as much or as little cooking as you want, and they'll adjust the class to your liking. The food was amazing but the company was even more amazing, highly recommend

The best authentic cooking class - Hosts (Grandma, Grandpa and Nana) were really welcoming, we felt at home there. First we tried some Philipino dishes that Grandma prepared beforehand (lunch) and then decided which two of them (there were 4-5) we wanted to try and cook ourselves. They were very encouraging, the vibe was relaxed, we were laughing a lot and we learned a bit about Philipino history and habbits. They were amazing hosts and gave some tips about Manila (taxis, which places are best to be avoided etc.). You could tell that they are hosting cooking class out of pure love for cooking and sharing their experiences with other people. Would 100% recommend. If we go back to Manila one day, I hope we can hang out again.
Nana, Lola and Lolo, Nina&Miha love you❤️

Here’s to grandma! And grandad 🎳 - Had a great time visiting Grandmas (and grandads) house and eating their home cooked meal. They told us about the area and their life and it was good to hear it from their perspective. Good luck for your golden anniversary 💕

Beautiful experience with Lola Oyet and her family, you will leave feeling like a new member of the family! - Loved it loved it loved it! Lola Oyet and her family are so very warm and welcoming and just full of amazing stories about their time in their beautiful neighborhood, sharing their experiences as a loving couple raising their children during times of change to the location. This was such a personal experience, and I can feel how genuine my new Filipino parents are about hosting new guest. They were so interested in knowing my wife's and my stories as well, it was just such a warm, comfortable, organic time. And the food, oh the food! The, Best, Meal I had during my entire stay in the Philippines (I did a one month tour through Asia for work and holiday, with my first week working in Angeles City, and my last week on holiday in Manila). The introduction to new foods, the best Adobo I've ever eaten, the most refreshing drink I've had in recent memory, everything was 11 out of 10. Her grandkids and daughter-in-law made an appearance and they were just as sweet and welcoming, not once did we feel like we were intruding on their day to day lives in the home. My next visit I will book again just to come say hello, food is not even necessary, I just love this family that much from this one booking and can't imagine being in Manila and not connecting with them again. You deserve to have this similar experience, please book now. Salamat po Lola Oyet ❤️

A Heartwarming Feast at Grandmom Oyette and Grandad Bong's - Dining at their home was a delightful experience filled with love and authentic Filipino flavors. The crispy fritters were addictive, while the creamy ginataang langka and flavorful bistek bangus stole the show. The refreshing buko juice and comforting miswa soup added balance, and the tangy adobong baboy na puti was a unique and delicious twist on a classic. Each dish was prepared with care, making this meal not just a culinary treat but a warm, unforgettable family memory. Truly, a feast to cherish if you wish to experience homemade Filipino cuisine around a warm family table far from the tourist hubs.

A Heartwarming Filipino Feast at Grandma Oyet's - If you want to experience a true Filipino Salo-Salo or shared meal, Oyet's house is the place to go. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family. Following Filipino tradition, we left our shoes outside and wore slippers indoors—a simple gesture that made the experience feel more authentic.
We were greeted with warm smiles, handshakes, and stories as they served buko juice and a sweet potato snack that looked like chips. They talked about their home, family, and how they learned to cook their delicious dishes, setting the perfect mood for the meal.
The main dishes were unforgettable. They served adobong puti (a version of adobo made with vinegar instead of soy sauce) and bistek made with milkfish. Delicious! The bistek had a refreshing twist with milkfish, and the adobo was less salty but rich in traditional taste. Every bite was a delight and I enjoyed savoring the complex flavors.
While we ate, they continued to share stories about their lives, history, and even asked about our families. The warm atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable, and before I knew it, I had eaten more than I planned!
We left with full stomachs and happy hearts. The food was amazing, but their hospitality made it truly special. Grandma Oyet's house is more than a place to eat; it's a place to feel at home.

The best traditional filipino food - We had a great experience. Tita Oyette made several really tasty home-cooked meals - which started with a refreshing drink made with cucumber and lemon.
A lot of food was prepared for our meal including misua, fried milkfish with atsara (a filipino pickle made with labanos, cucumber and vinegar), mixed vegetables cooked with coconut milk, our favourite beef steak, and palitaw for dessert. It was fun to have a conversation with tita oyette because she shared a lot of trivia and stories about the dishes she prepared. These foods are all authentic Filipino and each dish is made with a lot of natural and healthful ingredients. I would highly recommend for those who want to experience authentic filipino food.

Savor Traditional Filipino Feast with a Local Grandma in Taguig - I recently experienced a delightful meal in "Aunti"Oyette's house - where she and her family greet you like long-lost relatives. Eager to share stories and laughter over the dining table, their genuine warmth creates a delightful, casual atmosphere.
The menu boasts a variety of traditional Filipino dishes - each prepared with care. From the Missua soup, the flavorful Bistek, the tender Milkfish, or the soft coconut Rice Cakes, every bite offers a burst of authentic flavor I recognize from my own Filipino family events.
Aunti Oyette house is more than just a place to eat – it's an experience that allows you to connect with Filipino culture through food. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore beyond the unusual tourist spots and savor genuine Filipino life.

A Unique, Valued Experience - What a privilege it is to open the door to a private home in a foreign country and be received like an old friend. The copious quantities of food, the precious conversation, the insights into the life of a wholesome family living in tropical Philippines made for a unique, valued experience.

Nostalgic Traditional Filipino Foods of all time - The atmosphere is very alluring. GrandMa and GrandDad have a lot of stories to share. There is never a dull moment. Of course, typical Filipino food isn't just incredibly tasty and healthy, they also brings back memories of every Filipino child's early years. I couldn't contain my emotions, I started crying when they served me soup like what my mother had made whenever I got sick.
