The story of RKitchen isn't just about food — it's about people, love and the beautiful tradition of sharing.

What once started in a small kawali became a culinary journey that embraces the world, inviting everyone to savor not just the flavors but the love and passion that go into every bite.

With a vision and inspiration to turn the family's cherished family recipe into a thriving business, Ryan and Reese Regua founded RKitchen in 2019.

"Nagsimula lang kami na magluto sa isang maliit na kawali (We started cooking using only a small pan)," recalled Ryan, who knew that it was just too good not to share it with the world.

For years, Reese's mother had been serving the fermented rice with fish (burong isda) in private gatherings.

After a few tweaks to improve the product — by removing fish bones and reducing the pungent smell characteristic of a buro — the couple launched burong isda to the market.
