A little slice of the Philippines in Wellington
Rupert Palaroan is hoping his unique blend of Filipino food with a Māori twist, will be a hit with Wellington On a Plate.
Sticking close to his Filipino heritage, but combining traditional Māori elements from his home in New Zealand, Palaroan served up a dish which bridges cultures.
The boil up uses horopito-rubbed confit pork belly, kūmara, okra and eggplant with a kawakawa tamarind and watercress broth.
The recipe hearkens back to his roots in the Philippines, which he left aged 17 after working in his family restaurant.
Master Kong, where Palaroan is the executive chef, is on Wellington's waterfront.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
