Our Story

Marc and Jeeryn, siblings with deep roots in blended Asian cultures, were born in the Philippines and raised on the vibrant flavors of Chinese-Filipino (or "Chinoy") cuisine. Growing up in their family’s restaurant, they developed a strong sense of community—both through the food they prepared and the relationships they built with their patrons.

​

Over the years, both Marc and Jeeryn married Vietnamese partners, which introduced them to the rich and diverse world of Vietnamese cuisine. At home, their cooking became a fusion of flavors, a true “halo-halo” of their cultural backgrounds. This unique blend of influences is what inspires the menu at Blend—offering a delicious mix of the Asian flavors that have shaped their lives.
