From Struggles to Culinary Success
Golden Rice Catering & Kitchen is more than just a catering service—it’s a story of resilience, passion, and the pursuit of culinary excellence. Co-owned by two Disabled Afghanistan Veterans and proud 1st Generation Filipino Americans, our journey began with humble beginnings. Food was the one thing that brought joy and unity to our family as we navigated life’s challenges.
Our family migrated from the Philippines, bringing with us the rich culinary traditions of our homeland. Growing up, we faced our own personal struggles—coming from nothing and finding solace in the kitchen. The act of preparing and sharing food became a source of happiness, comfort, and connection for us.
Before embarking on this culinary adventure, I spent a career in IT, while my business partner and I traveled the world, exploring and experiencing cuisines from different cultures. This journey fueled our love for diverse flavors and ignited a passion for sharing that joy with others.
For years, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering the art of high-heat cooking, especially the wok—a powerful tool that I believe brings out the boldest flavors in food. Today, Golden Rice Catering & Kitchen represents not only our love for authentic Asian cuisine but also our desire to bring people together through food, just as it did for us in our hardest times.
We are proud to be a Veteran-Owned business, committed to creating extraordinary culinary experiences for every event. Whether it’s a pop-up, private event, or a large gathering, our mission is to share the flavors that have shaped our lives with you.
