You can leave home, without leaving it behind.
Filipino identity travels with us—You can move across the world, grow up between cultures, and make a home somewhere new. But some flavors stay with you.
Carmen Guerrero-Nakpil put that connection into words in “Where Is the Patis?” It’s an idea that feels close to what we do at White Rice: bringing the food and memories we grew up with into the lives we’re building today.
As Filipino American History Month wraps up, we’re reminded that home isn’t always one place. Sometimes, it’s something we bring to the table.

Double specials this week!!! We got busy and I was spread too thin. My bad, your win 🫶
Chicken Afritada
Braised Tomato Stew, Potatoes, Carrots, Bell Peppers and Garlic Rice
The name comes from the Spanish word Fritada, which generally means a “fried dish”, because you sear the chicken before it goes into the sauce. The dish comes from a Spanish influence, but Filipino home cooks turned it into the mild, everyday stew many of us know today.

Final week of FAHM 2026! We are bringing back a classic and guest favorite for the “American Influence” of our interpretation of influences in Filipino Cuisine.
Filipino Spaghetti
Hot Dog Bolognese, Egg Noodles, Queso de Bola and Fresh Herbs
During the first half of the twentieth century, the Philippines became a colony of the United States in 1898, and stayed until 1946. The U.S. military introduced a plethora of American fast foods: hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, SPAM and fried chicken (along with the rest of the world). Due to a wartime shortage of tomatoes, Banana Ketchup was first produced in the Philippines because of the high production of bananas. A popular product throughout the islands as a cooking sauce, marinade or dipping sauce.

The name comes from the Spanish word Fritada, which generally means a “fried dish”, because you sear the chicken before it goes into the sauce. The dish comes from a Spanish influence, but Filipino home cooks turned it into the mild, everyday stew many of us know today.
Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan came the Philippines in 1521 as colonizers, bringing Spanish ingredients, new ways of cooking and vocabulary which still found in the Philippines national language, Tagalog. While the galleon trade brought fruits, vegetables and root crops from Mexico. They also introduced sautéing and braising and new world staples potatoes and corn.

If you're a fan of Filipino cuisine, then White Rice is definitely worth checking out. This modern Filipino restaurant offers a unique twist on traditional dishes, with a menu that revolves around savory rice bowls or "silog". These bowls are the perfect comfort food and are typically enjoyed for breakfast in the Philippines, but at White Rice, they're available all day long.
What sets White Rice apart from other Filipino restaurants is its focus on hospitality. Chef Phillip Esteban believes that hospitality is a universal language that can break down walls between people and create space for nuanced cultural conversation. And he's certainly created an inviting atmosphere at White Rice.
The restaurant's location on Historic Decatur Road adds to its charm. The street has a rich history and is home to many other great eateries and shops. It's the perfect spot to grab a meal with friends or family.
