filipinos drink sikwate during the early mornings and mid afternoons often accompanied by traditional filipino desserts called “kakanin”.
filipino desserts highlight a spread of banana leaf sticky rice infused with coconut milk and tropical aromatics such as pandan, ginger, and turmeric.
the spread is vegan and gluten free.
based in the central coast.
SIKWATE HOURS offer access to elements of the filipino cultural identity- tangible and intangible.
Intentional gathering is the belief to its core.
