At its core, slow food is a celebration of time and heritage—a powerful counter-movement to fast food.

During our travels, we got to experience just how Kalinga communities champion biodiversity and sustainability. This happened particularly in Pasil, the first indigenous Slow Food Community in the Philippines, officially recognized by . Here, food is entirely from the earth, harvested without synthetic chemicals and cooked in hand-molded riverbank clay pots.

Our team has always aligned with this vision, respecting the slow, deliberate process of traditional Filipino cuisine. We invite you to join us and taste the dishes inspired by mountain-grown heritage. Book your table at hapagmnl.com/reserve.

Along the high-altitude hills of La Trinidad is Farmer’s Daughter, an iconic eatery in Baguio City.

A well-known source of Cordilleran comfort food, Farmer’s Daughter has hugely inspired much of our new menu. We deeply admire the commitment of Chef Pil-Od Ano and the rest of his team to authentic, wood-fired flavors, hearty pinikpikan, tender-smoked etag, and vibrant highland greens. Their mastery of indigenous techniques and dishes bursting with flavor also shows how Cordilleran food piques the modern palate’s interest.

We’d love for you to experience the rustic flavors of Baguio through our Cordillera menu. Reserve your table today through the link in our bio.

The Ifugao Peace Museum at the historical Yamash*ta Surrender Site in Kiangan is a powerful symbol of reconciliation, healing, and community strength at the end of World War II.

Visiting this site reminded us of how history, culture, and deep-rooted endurance have all played roles in knitting the fabric of modern Filipino communities. Here, we learned a lot about traditional rice culture, community rituals, and how food and land sustained our people through history.

Our Cordillera menu takes direct inspiration from this unchanging strength. Through it, we’ve turned indigenous traditions into creative nourishment.

Let us take you on this journey. Book your table through the link in our bio.

Carved from Narra trees or Ipil wood, bul-uls are spiritual guardians of the Cordilleras. They are believed to protect crops, ward off harm, and ensure a bountiful harvest, serving as a powerful symbol for how we treat and protect our heritage ingredients.

Many of the meals we share today carry this profound ancestral weight, and we’ve honored that in several ways. One is our Apo Whang Od room, where we display depictions of these revered guardians painted by local artist /eggfiasco.

Allow us to tell you about them the next time you dine with us. Book your table at hapagmnl.com/reserve.

While in the highlands, we were gifted a deeply personal painting by Michelle Joy Poj-agan, an artist from Ifugao. Her work captures the breathtaking view and quiet majesty of one of our stops: the Mayoyao Rice Terraces.

Located in the eastern part of Ifugao, these terraces are a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to meticulously stacked stone-walled constructions and ancient engineering marvels.

Chef Thirdy shares: “It’s [wonderful] to get to bring a piece of Cordillera home to Hapag. And for it to be personal artwork ... is very special.”

Michelle’s work reflects a deep reverence for her community, which she would give back to as a student on her medical missions and continues to serve today in her work as a dentist. Her painting, now greeting guests at the beginning of their Hapag experience, carries that same spirit of care and connection.

In Cordilleran weaving culture, every thread tells a story, and every pattern is a living memory preserved by hand.

Bringing this connection directly to our tables at Hapag, we commissioned custom-woven table runners from Irene Bawer-Bimuyag and Ruel Bimuyag of Kalinga Weaving. As cultural custodians, their group preserves traditional Cordilleran backstrap weaving and supports their local artisans.

Each of our commissioned pieces honors the communities in Mabilong, Lubuagan, and Kalinga. Hear some of their stories alongside our Cordillera menu by booking your table at hapagmnl.com/reserve.

In museum displays, ancient traditions feel like distant history. But in the Cordilleras, ancestral heritage is not a relic but a living, breathing way of life.

One of our most eye-opening experiences was observing indigenous dwellings, such as the Ifugao fale, the Kalinga binayon, and the Bontoc fayu—all engineered with practical wisdom. These homes feature retractable ladders for security and wooden discs called halipan to protect harvested grain from wild animals.

Head Somm Erin Recto adds: “What’s cool is [how] there’s a stone park [the community] gathers in.” This site is called ato or dap-ay, a communal stone court where elders pass down oral histories and neighbors share each other’s company after the day’s harvest.

The time we spent here reminded us that culture isn’t something to look back on, but something you pull up a seat to. Let us share these stories with you when you book a table to experience the Cordillera menu through the link in our bio.

Each stop in our tour of the Cordilleras reminded us of why Hapag exists: that food is a language of welcome, community, and hospitality.

In every municipality, we met custodians and community leaders who opened their homes and wisdom to us, demonstrating how ingrained fellowship truly is among Filipinos.

Head Sommelier Erin Recto further attests to this sense of togetherness from other areas of the region, sharing: “At night, [in places like Pasil], the whole community would gather in their town hall. Whatever dish they can serve from their home is what they’d [bring].”

This sense of community was very much present throughout our stay. Sharing a meal with prominent cultural leaders Ruel and Irene Bawer-Bimuyag, we learned how it can be reflected in the arts. We felt it, too, at the GAFA Paracelis Agri-Tourism farm, which champions indigenous knowledge and marries it with natural farming and food preservation.

We’d love for you to experience what this trip meant to us. Reserve your table through the link in our bio to experience the Cordillera menu.

In the high terraces of the Cordillera mountains, harvest is rarely just a routine gathering. It’s celebrated, honored, and danced into being. These traditional mimetic rituals are a way of honoring the collective joy of the harvest.

Just as they bring people together to celebrate the gifts of nature, we set our tables with the intention of turning them into places of shared stories, gratitude, and deep connections to our heritage.
