Our themes for May, 2023
The course descriptions are found in the booking page
Bulio Fiesta
This is a theme inspired by one of our closest friends and brother who really helped Palayok become what it is today. Julio Fransico, born in 2006 grew up to be a very remarkable and diligent person. He befriended the founders of Palayok and invested heavily in terms of moral support. Because of him, we were able to continue on during hard times. His passion for teaching and being there for others, along with his love for eating inspired us to give him tribute by having his own dedicated theme for the month. There will be two courses of his most favorite dishes that will be showcased for this week. After May, he will come back again once every quarter.
