Mini Pinoy Grill is more than a marinade; it’s an introduction to the Filipino culture.  It’s the book cover, the slightly open door which welcomes your heart and taste buds to the flavour and culture of The Philippines!

With Mini Pinoy Grill, we want to show you the magic of The Philippines in all its glory!  I’ll share with you how Filipino food has shaped my life and given me a love of the Filipino culture which will stay with me forever.

Anyone who has had the privilege of visiting The Philippines knows the incredible feeling of visiting such an amazing place!  It is a country of contrasts – from the densely-populated cities to the natural beauty of the countryside; a place where the rich are very rich, and the poor are very poor, with nothing in between.  Despite such vast differences, however, everywhere you go in The Philippines there is always love, friendship and a warm smile.  It is these unique characteristics which flow through every section of Filipino culture, including the food: so simple in its composition, yet full of complex aromas and flavour; infusing the tastes of its Asian neighbours with the zest of Spanish cuisine.  It is sweet yet sour, tangy and mouth-watering, making you feel alive and often leaving you with a food coma just from breakfast!

So how do you share a flavour which someone has never tasted?  How do you explain a flavour without giving someone preconceived ideas?  To me, Filipino food is more than a flavour; it’s the feeling I get, the memories flooding back from my childhood, the happiness I feel with every single bite.  This is what I want to share, the feeling I want everyone to experience!

If you have been blessed enough to have tasted a traditional prepared dish by a loving Mama, farther, tita, tito, brother, sister, cousin or nanay, then any mention of your favourite dish will just make your mouth water!  In fact, let’s test it out: kare kare with rice and let’s not forget - bagaong (Google it)….see what did I tell you?  Mouth-watering right?

This is the feeling that we want to bring, this is the introduction to Filipino culture and flavour we want to share.  It’s more than a marinade, it’s an invitation to excite your tastebuds and introduce you to a new style of cuisine.  Mini Pinoy Grill - bringing the flavour of The Philippines to the world…one bottle at a time!
