Chef Kuya is the culinary concept of Chef Jerel Jhocson: combining tradition with modernity, aesthetics with taste, creativity with technique.

Chef Kuya is currently available for catering, tastings, and private events.

Chef’s Background

 

Chef Jerel’s earliest duty was Sunday brunch for the family. The menus may have changed, and the audience more broad, but the spirit and passion for cooking for others has remained the same. Dishes made with equal parts skill and love.

By offering an experience that is familiar yet new, comforting yet elegant, personal yet anecdotal, I am endeavoring to introduce myself, my culture, and my passion to you, one dish at a time.
