USA | Island Pacific Seafood Market has announced that its celebrated in-house dining destination, Philhouse, has officially been recognised as a top culinary spot in Las Vegas.
This accolade solidified Island Pacific's reputation not only as a premier grocer but also as a vibrant cultural hub of authentic Philippine heritage.
Island Pacific Supermarket is a leading Filipino-American grocery chain offering authentic products to communities across California and Nevada. It is committed to providing a unique shopping experience that celebrates Filipino culture, heritage, and world-class cuisine.
The achievement is perfectly aligned with the start of Filipino Food Month (Buwan ng Kalutong Filipino) this April. This year's theme, "Connected by Taste: The Filipino Food in the Flavours of ASEAN," positioned Filipino culinary heritage as a driver of cultural diplomacy and inclusive growth.
"Our mission is to make Filipino food a staple in every American household," said Chef Janjie Ocoma, Executive Corporate Chef of Philhouse.
"While pancit and lumpia are favourites, we want to showcase our full diversity, from traditional regional dishes to smoky street food. We want the community to see that Philippine food is a global contender."
Island Pacific's commitment to culture remained at the forefront of its operations. Following the success of the 5th Annual Lumpia Eating Contest in March, it has continued to host weekly community events, including:
- Bingo Panalo: Fun-filled sessions open to all community members.
- Filipino Street Food Markets: Authentic weekend markets at select locations.
- Regional Recipes: For those looking to bring these flavours into their own kitchens, Island Pacific now features a curated collection of regional recipes on their website
In honour of the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, Island Pacific will explore the rich history of the Philippines through its culinary flavours.
