Here’s a dinner table conversation starter for you: Filipinos outnumber Vietnamese people as one of the largest migrant groups in Australia. But unlike its Southeast Asian neighbour, food from the Philippines rarely gets dished up on Aussie plates. Melbourne collective The Entree.Pinays are working to turn that around. Started by Grace Guinto and Fides Mae Santos-Arguelles in 2018, the team – which also includes Felis Sarcepuedes, Kristina Náray, Sandra Tan and Maysie Lecciones – is on a mission to get people curious about Filipino cuisine through tasty events and pop-ups.
