Project for Cafe Bossa Candon City for Owen Abaya

I had the pleasure of working for Cafe Bossa in Candon City, Philippines. As a passionate photographer and graphic designer, I collaborated with the cafe's team to create a visually stunning photo project and design an enticing menu that would elevate the dining experience for their patrons.

Now, let's delve into the mouthwatering offerings that adorn the menu at Cafe Bossa. From the crispy binagoongan, a delectable Filipino dish featuring crispy pork belly in shrimp paste, to the sapsapuriket, a local favorite showcasing the rich flavors of indigenous ingredients, the menu promises a delightful journey through different cuisines.

The Sinanglao Project.

This gastronomic endeavor celebrates the rich and diverse flavors of Filipino cuisine, featuring a selection of traditional dishes that showcase the culinary heritage of the Philippines.

At the heart of the Sinanglao Project is the eponymous sinanglao, a robust and hearty soup that originates from the Ilocos region. This dish is known for its bold flavors, combining beef innards, bile, and a medley of aromatic spices to create a distinctive and savory broth. Sinanglao embodies the essence of Filipino comfort food, capturing the warmth and depth of regional culinary traditions.
