TIKIM Supper Club
When you say, "I'm feeling like Asian food tonight," we'd be willing to bet you typically flip through several Asian regional cuisines before you (if you even do) get to Filipino food. Now, if you live in the Greater Portland area, unless you have Filipino family here, this hasn't been a viable option until very recently. But what's taken so long? It's been considered the "up and coming" cuisine for years in the US, but when will it finally arrive?
Well, this is where we pull up a chair, and make space at the table. This is where we invite you to the very first TIKIM Supper Club pop-up at @mestizo.pdx
TIKIM is a concept inspired by three friends and their vision to further the Filipino American narrative by sharing the stories of their collective cultural experiences and to foster personal connections through Filipino food. TIKIM means “to taste” in Tagalog. It is an invitation to taste Filipino food and culture and to have a conversation about the PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
With three female founders, TIKIM also celebrates the centric role matriarchs play in Filipino food memories. Jane (@janiep00), Nori (@nomnom_nori) and Tricia’s (@triciasanmateo) palates may have been influenced by their ‘Lola and Nanay’, but their Filipino American experiences inform where they want to take their food. Ultimately TIKIM is the place to taste ‘Ate’s’ cooking with your ‘barkada’.
The first TIKIM Supper Club Pop-up is on Sunday, October 17 at 5:30PM PST, and the cost is $75 per person for a 5 course tasting menu with a welcome drink. We will be opening ticket sales tomorrow, Thursday October 7 at 5PM PST. We will only be seating 20 guests, so act fast. We will post how to snag your ticket(s) in our stories, so set a reminder now!
*NOTE: We will not be able to accommodate dietary restrictions and substitutions at this time. Dishes may have: shellfish, meat, nuts, dairy, and wheat
