He draws inspiration from his Ilocano and Hokkien roots to concoct playful yet sophisticated dishes that tease the palate without alienating it: succulent scallop kilawin (seviche) in chilled carrot-and-ginger soup; zesty crabmeat, pomelo and rocket salad with caramelized shallots and Ilocos vinegar ("Why does everybody always use balsamic...
