Living the Dream at Hiraya
Wednesday, October 23, 2024
Join the Bailliage of Greater Washington, D.C., at Hiraya Restaurant with Chef Owner Paolo Dungca and Chef Julie Cortes at the helm. If you think you know what Filipino food is, then you are in for a surprise and a treat. The word, “Hiraya” means “the fruit of one’s hopes, dreams and aspirations” in ancient Tagalog. The team at Hiraya is bringing their dream to life at the restaurant, using high-end ingredients treated with the utmost respect in creative ways and in keeping with Filipino flavors.
Our event will be in the upstairs restaurant – reserved exclusively for us – where Chef Dungca and his team let their imaginations fly, bringing modern sensibilities to Filipino flavors. Some of the ingredients we will be enjoying include jamȯn Iberico, caviar, king crab, uni, squab, and venison.
We’ll begin with a bubbly reception with four passed hors d’oeuvres followed by five plated courses, each more beautiful and delicious than the last. Wine from the DC Bailliage’s wine cellar will accompany each course.
Please join us for what will be a magnificent and fascinating meal.
