KABAYAN! 🙌🏻

Who’s ready for 🏀 Tall Blacks 🇳🇿 vs Philippines 🇵🇭 this Friday, July 3rd at Spark Arena!

If you’re heading to the game, make sure you fuel up with all your favourite Filipino dishes before cheering on the Philippines! 🇵🇭

📍 Our CBD store is only 2 minutes from Spark Arena, making it the perfect pre-game stop!
(We are also just under a Wilson carpark so you can park and then eat 😉 without having to travel far)

Opening Hours
Lunch 11:00am – 2:00pm
Dinner 4:00pm – 8:00pm

📍 2A Anzac Ave (corner of Anzac Ave & Beach Road)

A little reminder too… we only have around 6 months left at our CBD location before our lease comes to an end. 🥹 If you’ve been meaning to visit us in the city, now’s the time! We’d love to see as many familiar (and new!) faces as possible before we say goodbye to our central location.

Don’t worry though our Huapai store will still be open and operating as normal for all our West side locals!

This winter has been a really tough one for hospitality. It’s our quietest season, and every day we’re seeing more cafes and restaurants closing their doors or going into liquidation. If you’re able to, supporting small local businesses really does make a difference. Every visit, every meal, every recommendation means more than you know, and we’re incredibly grateful for every single one of you. 🙏🏼🤎

See you before tip-off! 🇵🇭🏀🇳🇿

Forever a Hero in my eyes 😘

Many of you know Aldrin as the chef behind Hapunan, but I have the privilege of knowing the man behind it all. The countless early mornings, late nights, sacrifices, hard work, and unwavering dedication that have helped build not only our business, but the life we’re creating together 🫶🏼 (for the past 15 years in fact)

His greatest achievements (tho he will never admit to it 🥹) will always be the impact he has on the people around him. His kindness, generosity, leadership, and determination inspire everyone lucky enough to know him.

Thank you for pouring your heart into everything you do, for believing in our dreams, and for never giving up even when the road gets tough.

Happy Birthday, to my forever Mahal ❤️
I am so proud of the man you are, the chef you’ve become, and everything that is still ahead of you.

You’re my hero, my partner, my best friend, and my greatest blessing (other than Allegra of course 😉)

From you’re biggest cheerleader and supporter, always and forever!

The other half of Hapunan,
Laura 🤎

Still pinching ourselves… 🥹

We’re incredibly proud to share that we’ve once again been recognised in the Iconic Auckland Eats 2026 🏆 and this year, our Adobo Del Diablo has landed in the Top 5 BEST DISHES in all of Auckland 🙌🏻 🇵🇭🥇

What started as a bold, slightly controversial take on showcasing Filipino classics still proves to continue to open minds and win hearts 🫶🏼
From the early days of doubt & criticism to now standing alongside some of the best chefs in the city… it honestly feels still surreal for us 🥲

Going up against thousands of incredible operators every year is no small feat, and to still be here evolving, pushing boundaries, and representing Filipino flavours in a modern way is something we’ll never take for granted 🙏🏼

Aldrin, the mastermind behind it all, took a risk years ago to break the mould and tell his story through food. This dish carries that story & his culture, along with our journey and seeing it embraced like this is something dreams are made of ✨ and that’s all because of YOU. Every vote, every visit, every time you’ve trusted us to share our food and our story it means the sacrifices are worth it.

To our community, our team, our day ones ☝🏻 and to anyone and everyone who’s backed Hapunan along the way this is yours as much as it is ours 🤎

We’ll never stop championing Filipino food & culture loud, proud, and unapologetically us 💪🏼🇵🇭
From our little corner of NZ to wherever this journey takes us next. We’re bringing our stories, our flavours, and our people with us every step of the way! And I’m pretty confident that the best is yet to come 😉
