Kare kare đŸ‡”đŸ‡­

One thing Chef Pow isn’t a fan of is breaking tradition. Some things simply don’t need to be elevated—do it right, and you’ll understand why the dish has existed for generations.

Kare-kare is meant to have that velvety peanut sauce, achieved by slowly cooking the oxtail until the collagen breaks down and gives the sauce its richness and body. You balance that richness with vegetables and, of course, a good serving of bagoong.

Some dishes don’t need reinvention. They need respect.

Kare-kare deserves to remain forever part of Filipino identity.

This Chicken Satti Noodle

Being a Filipino restaurant doesn’t just mean adobo and lumpia. It means building bold flavors with inspiration from all across the archipelago.

One particular trip to Southern Mindanao completely changed the way we view our cuisine. There is so much more to Filipino food than what we grew up knowing.

This Chicken Satti Noodle Dish is inspired by Zamboanga’s Satti, with confit boneless chicken thigh and sweet potato starch glass noodles. It’s sweet and spicy, with a surprising lift from a coconut-kalamansi relish inspired by Basilan’s palapa.

Catch this on our specials this week.

The grind never stops.

These slower times are meant for the team to tighten the system and look closely at our food.

We never stop finding ways to improve. Every element deserves attention—the right ingredients, the right cooking time and temperature, and the right choreography inside the kitchen.

We keep a small team of motivated people. People who are part of the mission. People who are selfless and understand that service isn’t about us. It’s about the guests who expect nothing but our best ex*****on.

To them, the process doesn’t matter. They don’t see the prep, the hours, the mistakes, the adjustments, or the countless details happening behind the scenes.

They only see what reaches the plate.

And the first bite will tell them everything.

Sarciadong Isda

A dish many Filipinos grew up with—simple, comforting, and packed with flavor.

Through Jinjer’s lens, we bring this humble classic to its fullest potential by using carefully selected ingredients and paying attention to every detail of the cooking process. Nothing overly complicated—just a commitment to precision, quality, and creating a memorable dining experience.

Pan-seared mangrove snapper is served with a rich spiced tomato sauce, fresh eggs, and adlai grains. The result is a balanced, nourishing, and deeply satisfying fish dish that keeps you coming back for another bite.
