The couple who spent their life savings on a Filipino food truck

For a while now we’ve wanted to delve a bit deeper into the stories behind some of the epic food we share on Chasing a Plate. It’s a lot easier to do now we’re back home filming in Aotearoa/New Zealand because we can actually communicate with people! There are some really special people we want you to meet alongside the delicious food they create so watch out for more videos like this one dropping soon!

Hapunan Filipino Kitchen is one of our favourite eateries- a food truck and takeout shop owned and operated by couple Laura & Aldrin Tabora serving contemporary Filipino food. We’re so excited to share their story with you.
⁣
⁣Huge thanks to Aldrin, Laura and the Hapunan team for allowing us to film and share their stor⁣y. You guys rock!

We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our YouTube videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.

We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just genuine, authentic food that tastes incredible.

From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best and most authentic food we find on our travels.
