CargoFish

CargoFish takes the classic fish and chips experience from the UK and makes it fun for Filipinos by putting the choice in our hands. Offering a wide range of fish varieties to choose from, all coated in a light beer batter and perfectly fried with traditional methods, it’s comfort food like we’ve always known it but with a little extra—bold, new additions in the sauces, great for dipping or smothering. Whatever tickles your fancy!

 

CargoFish does it just right, so you can have it however your please!

Burnt Bamboo

Burnt Bamboo creates freestyle BBQ with choice and freedom regardless of your palette – the catch? More than a hundred combinations for your BBQ! This was also intended to be fairly priced.

 

As chefs and foodies both Matthew J Hornsby-Bates and Matthew Kenneth Lim have equally shared a common love for all things BBQ. Although both of them can agree that BBQ is life, they still had a hard time agreeing on what makes the perfect BBQ, what’s the perfect marinade, what’s the best meat or cut to grill and what works and what doesn’t. So agreeing to disagree as we set to work to create a concept that has freedom within its category. Thus, BURNT BAMBOO was born.
