Kuwento sa Kusina: China & the Middle Kingdom | Filipino Supper Club in Rogers, AR

Join us at Lasang Pinoy in Downtown Rogers for the next chapter of Kuwento sa Kusina, our intimate Filipino supper club exploring the stories, migrations, and global influences that shaped Filipino cuisine.

This month’s theme is China, the Middle Kingdom — a four-course dining experience tracing the deep connections between the Philippines, India, Southeast Asia, and the historic spice routes that carried ingredients, ideas, trade, and culture across oceans.

Long before many of the dishes we now think of as distinctly Filipino became everyday favorites, Chinese merchants were traveling throughout the Philippine archipelago. They brought ingredients, cooking techniques, and food traditions that Filipinos adapted over generations—transforming them through local ingredients, regional tastes, and family kitchens.  From noodles and soy sauces to steamed dumplings and filled pastries, Chinese influence is woven deeply into Filipino food culture.

Kuwento sa Kusina means “stories from the kitchen.” Each supper club is designed to feel personal, communal, and thoughtful — part dinner, part cultural storytelling, and part shared table experience.

What to Expect

A curated four-course Filipino dining experience inspired by India and the Spice Trade
Storytelling behind each course and its connection to Filipino food history
An intimate communal table with limited seating
Optional drink pairings available
A deeper look at Filipino cuisine beyond the familiar favorites

This experience is ideal for guests who love Filipino food, cultural dining experiences, food history, supper clubs, and exploring the global influences that shaped the Philippines.

Kuwento sa Kusina means “stories from the kitchen.” Each chapter uses food as a way to explore the people, histories, and cultural exchanges that helped create Filipino cuisine as we know it today.

You are welcome to join us for the entire journey or simply choose the chapters that interest you. Each dinner stands on its own.

Seating is intentionally limited to keep the evening intimate, conversational, and a little different from an ordinary night out.

Come hungry for food, history, and conversation—and take a seat at the table as we explore the Chinese traditions that became part of the Filipino story.
