The Spirit Of Culinary Collaboration And Giving Back For A Cause at CoCreate At Julyan Hub In Poblacion

An intimate space in the heart of Poblacion finds renewed purpose and spirit where creative culinary collaborations and giving back for a cause is celebrated, shared and experienced with a communal vibe. And maybe, this is just what the eclectic neighborhood needs as it evolves and changes with the times...

The many layers of the colorful neighborhood are enriched by its diversity with new establishments alongside old haunts as it presents yet another new concept to add to its mix of dining options. But the new space isn't your usual establishment, it doesn't offer the "next big thing" in cuisine nor does it have the flashy buzz of a new bar. Instead, the space is whatever you want it to be for your own culinary event. This is your stage. Step inside CoCreate at Julyan Hub in Poblacion... 


Formerly a restaurant, CoCreate at Julyan Hub is a fully operational dining establishment equipped with a kitchen complemented by both indoor and al fresco areas. And this is where the countless possibilities come in when you're planning your next culinary event or collaboration. You can simply takeover the kitchen and serve up your signature dishes, staged to your specifications. CoCreate at Julyan Hub is available for private catering events, product launches, cooking demos and culinary collaborations for a unique option in the Poblacion 'hood (for more on the Poblacion scene and a sneak peek at Julyan Hub, see my previous post Vibrant New Stories Emerge At Makati's Poblacion... from last July).


CoCreate at Julyan Hub is your personal canvas and the perfect venue to showcase your culinary creations and collaborations. By tapping CoCreate at Julyan Hub, you are also contributing to a worthy cause supporting the advocacy of CoCreate at Julyan Hub. The founders of CoCreate at Julyan are advocates for PWD's and autism, and part of the proceeds goes to support the cause. 


Transformed by a renewed mission, CoCreate at Julyan Hub is a venue where shared values, the spirit of collaboration and a vibrant sense of community shines bright at the heart of Poblacion. That evening, CCA Culinary Director Chef Philip John Golding and his team of students from CCA Manila prepare for the evening's feast reflecting another key advocacy at CoCreate at Julyan Hub focusing on continuous culinary education with real world applications and experiences. Using the freshest produce from Future Fresh Farms, Chef Philip John Golding and CCA Manila students preps the Salad Station completing one more layer of the collaborative spirit at CoCreate at Julyan Hub (for more on CCA Manila, see my recent post Oysters, Wine, Sake, Sausages, Sharing of Knowledge And Building Relevant Connections At The CCA Show Kitchen).


CoCreate at Julyan Hub also showcased various brands and products that day led by Breville...


...and their line of high-end coffee machines. Iced or hot? Pick your caffeine fix, prepared in minutes by Breville at the special coffee station in CoCreate at Julyan Hub's al fresco area. 


From up north, the artisan spirits by Sagada Cellar Door shared the spotlight at CoCreate at Julyan Hub with their signature Mountain Distilled White Rum and Dry Gin...


...providing the perfect base for a variety of soothing cocktails and libations in a special bar set-up also at the al fresco area. The many possibilities within the space can be staged or reconfigured to fit your requirement, theme or concept. 


Tasty nibbles were also shared by Grazed PH and Sabrosa Cocina MNL featuring their specialty French Onion and Blueberry Crumble Cheese Balls in a lavish cheese and charcuterie offering. These are the flavors of culinary collaboration, served fresh at CoCreate at Julyan Hub


At one corner of CoCreate at Julyan Hub, another tasty highlight makes its appearance...

Aguila Gourmet Meats offers an impressive selection of savory links from Kielbasa, Schublig, Italian Garlic, Chorizo, Cheese Krainer and Hungarian Sausages to Beef Franks, Bratwurst, Frankfurters and Texas Links. And they have hams, bacon and cured meats and charcuterie too like Truffle Salami, Smoked Pepperoni, Prosciutto Ham, Beef Salami and Olive Lyoner


The savory selection from Aguila Gourmet Meats are then highlighted in a cooking demo by Breville Corporate Chef Joseph Chad Datu...  


...with the innovative Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo.  


The cooking demo opens up yet another possibility at CoCreate at Julyan Hub as the perfect venue for engaging and interactive culinary activities.

All it takes are just a few minutes on the Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo...


...and the Pizza Diavola is served. From the crisp and perfectly charred blisters on the thin fermented dough crust to the savory toppings from Aguila Gourmet Meats, Chef Chad has a winner slice for everyone at CoCreate at Julyan Hub with more coming out from the Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo.


From the community, one chef shared his specialty Hummus...


...adding to a lavish feast on the table that evening at CoCreate at Julyan Hub


Garden fresh and crisp greens and vegetables from Future Fresh Farms drizzled with Chef Philip's secret dressing opened up the palate with its pure and clean notes...


...followed by even more savory bites from the premium selection of sausages by Aguila Gourmet Meats and Chef Chad's crisp pizza with his fermented dough churned out at regular intervals from the Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo all evening. 


That one last slice of pizza fresh off the oven always leads to another...


...and that one for the road becomes just another excuse for more rounds of cocktails with Sagada Cellar Door. And that's a good thing.
