Filipino Cuisine Meets Italian: Check Out This Unique Fusion In Valletta

The restaurant forms part of an Italian branch that has extended its reach to our tiny island, blending traditional Filippino dishes with traditional Italian.

So much so, their menu ranges from tasty rice bowls, noodle dishes (Pansit), and meats and fish to pasta and even a traditional Italian burger.

You’re even in store for some mad desserts, such as the Yung Cake (a purple yam cake) which you simply have to try.

“It’s a revisited Filippino style cuisine, made especially with the scope to give Europeans, and now Maltese folks, a taste of our style of cooking,” Yum’s chef, Marvin Braceros told Lovin Malta.

Lovin Malta hit the place and we’ve got to say, we were impressed. Everything from warm greetings – welcoming you the moment enter – to hearty meals prepared with the utmost care.

That’s not all, the small yet snug space presents the perfect vibe for a chill meal over a few laughs and smiles, among outgoing staff who are sure to become friends.

Filipino culture has been constantly changing throughout history, gaining influence from various cultures, and is continuously evolving.

Filipino food today has been shaped by the history and society of many unique and affluent cultures. From Chinese to Indian to Arabic.

All of which has left a mark on the food culture due to the various agricultural trading, somewhere down the line.

Cooking and eating in the Philippines has traditionally been an informal and communal affair centered around the family kitchen. And it is an asset that pervades pleasantly in this fine, new eatery.
