It's Pride Month, and Boracay's foodie favorite The Sunny Side Group is back with its annual Chef Collabs, bringing delicious eats to the island in celebration of the LGBTQ+ Community. This time, they are bringing Chef Kriza Palmero's feisty and fiery cuisine from the Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognized Pilya’s Kitchen for this year's Pride Benefit Dinner on June 11 at The Sunny Side Café in Station 1.
Chef Kriza has become known for serving up hand-pulled Biang Biang noodles, Mala flavors, and interpretations of Taiwanese cuisine at Pilya's Kitchen, where there is a line at any time of the day. In contrast, Sunny Side Café has been known for innovative takes on comfort and breakfast food. Which means this meal will be an interesting study in contrasts.
Chef Kriza will be serving up some of Pilya's most popular dishes in tandem with dessert and drinks from The Sunny Side Café. Tickets for this one-night-only Pride Benefit Dinner, are going for P950 each.
CHEF Kriza Palmero's Pilya's Kitchen may be a small stall at The Grid Market in Powerplant Mall, but her take on Taiwanese food has gotten the attention of Michelin.
So mark your calendars - June 11, 2026, 6:30PM, at The Sunny Side Café in Station 1. All proceeds from The Pride Benefit Dinner and Pride Cookies are for the benefit of LoveYourself, a community-based organization that provides sexual health, transgender health, and mental health services in various locations in the Philippines.
Also for Pride month, The Sunny Side Café will be re-releasing their Pride Cookies, a collaboration with Chef MIko Aspiras which were first launched last year. The cookie flavors and colors are inspired by the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community. This offering will be available all month of June.
