Rex started his mission to pioneer Filipino cuisine in the UK in 2014. It started with a series of pop-up restaurants in London and, in 2016, the British-born Filipino embarked on a three-month culinary research expedition to the Philippines. The chef and aspiring entrepreneur currently continues to popularises the cuisine through his start-up food business TURO TURO, an award-winning Filipino BBQ and street food stall and hopefully soon to be London restaurant.
