EAPPOC Pizza and Booya Bagels

Chef Aaron Lau is a Filipino-Singaporean chef best known as the culinary mind behind EAPPOC Pizza and Booya Bagels in Metro Manila, where he riffs on Detroit-style pizza and New York-style bagels with unapologetically bold flavors. Trained at At-Sunrice in Singapore and seasoned in kitchens like Daniel Boulud's db Bistro Moderne in New York, he now channels that background into playful, technique-driven comfort food. From loaded "Grandma" pies to signature bagel sandwiches and Wagyu burger collaborations, he has become a go-to name in Manila's modern comfort-food scene.

At Putien try fried yam, done simply: yam coated with a thin glaze of fish sauce and sugar

The Booya breakfast platter and the Mediterranean sandwich are simple in concept but executed properly

Drinks at Big Fuzz: full creativity is given to the mixologist
