Chef de Partie
Come cook the now of Filipino food. At hayop, we honour the roots and reimagine the future of Filipino cuisine. Our dishes are both deeply familiar and daringly refined — crafted with reverence, reworked with confidence, and always prepared with the best ingredients the world can offer. Recognised in the 2025 Michelin Guide Singapore, we're building something that matters — a benchmark for what Filipino cooking can be on the world stage.

hayop is born from the spirit of Manam — where tables fill quickly and every meal feels like coming home. Now in Singapore, we're continuing the story — with the same heart, and a new ambition. If this sounds like your kind of kitchen, we'd love to meet you.
