Chef Dominic Vergara has taken his culinary talents to different parts of the world, but in Norway where he is currently based, it is his Filipino heritage that flows through the kitchen.
Vergara and his older brother Daniel run the Kain Neo-Filipino Bistro in the Norwegian capital of Oslo, considered by many to be the best Filipino restaurant in the country, if not in all of Europe.
The chef later developed an interest in the booming of Nordic cuisine, leading to his application at Maeemo, the only Michelin three-star restaurant in Norway. The brothers' restaurant has a menu filled with recipes that they have remembered from their childhood. They have slightly changed or added some bits from what they have learned from Nordic cuisine, among others.
He believes it is because the Filipino community is not as big in Oslo, where non-Norwegian individuals are mostly Vietnamese or Somalian.The chef added that Filipinos who do visit learned of the restaurant from social media, sharing the story of one content creator client he and his brother met when they were still running the food stall — the parties kept in, the client got married at Kain and the couple visits the restaurant whenever they're in Oslo.
"It's quite fascinating because the Philippines and Norway are two countries very far away but you have Chef Dominic — born in the Philippines, ended up running a renowned restaurant in Oslo — and you see the links between people," Lyster told . "You can talk about formal documents and agreements, but I think one of the most important things are the ties between the people.
