Kitchen 1726

We were looking for a specific aesthetic + flavor combination for our wedding cake and stumbled upon Kryssie's page. The entire process was so seamless from start to finish -- and when you're planning a wedding or an event, that's exactly what you want. We sent her an inquiry and inspo photos, Kryssie responded promptly letting us know what she could do, and gave us instructions for pickup on the day of. We were blown away! The cake was everything we wanted and completed our big day, and it was DELICIOUS. We got the ube cake with brown butter cream cheese frosting. Yum yum yum. We served my family this cake and they all loved it as well. We will continue ordering from her for all of our events. Thank you Kryssie!!

I would give Chef Kryssie and Kitchen 1726 100 stars if I could! My cousin recommended Kitchen 1726 as we were planning to do a backyard rehearsal dinner in Tustin. I contacted Kryssie in late December for my wedding in March and she was so kind and responsive even while she was on vacation in Hawaii! We ended up using Kitchen 1726 not only for our rehearsal dinner but also for our wedding cake and favors! I also ordered a dozen ensaymadas for my bridesmaids for our morning getting ready fuel! Kryssie was so responsive and thoughtful with the meal planning. I asked so many questions and she walked me through everything! And she was accommodating when we asked for some vegetarian entrees (vegetarian isn't super common in Filipino food lol). All of the food was amazing and we had PLENTY for everyone. We ended up with the following (I put some extra comments on our favorites):-Soy roasted chicken: dark soy, ginger, garlic, scallions - SO GOOD!- Chicken coconut adobo: soy, cane vinegar, garlic, sweet onions, coconut milk- Beef caldereta: potatoes, sweet bells, carrots, chickpeas spicy tomato gravy- sesame sautéed veggie medley- unicorn garlic rice -ube rice, pandan rice, turmeric rice, jasmine rice, toasted garlic -- i never thought I'd be raving about rice until I tried Chef Kryssie's unicorn rice!- pancit - vegetarian: wheat noodles, carrot, cabbage, mushrooms, tofu, scallions -Lechon - pork egg rolls: these were gone by the time I got to the dinner, so I think they were a hit! - a cupcake board that spelled MB - ube flan cake- 1dz. ube bibinkga - SO YUMMY!!- ube pandesalFor my bridesmaids breakfast: 1 dozen ensymada - ube cheese pandan coconut. - a MUST try!Our wedding cake consisted of ube with vanilla frosting, vanilla with ube frosting, and chocolate with a chocolate ganache. So yummy! The real star though were our wedding favors. We ordered ube crinkle cookies and created custom labels that Kryssie was able to use in packaging. We got soooo many compliments on the cookies. We also ordered some vegan gluten free almond ube cookies but I think I needed to have changed the label so that ppl knew it was for the vegans & GF folks! People who were non-vegan or GF had some and told me they never would have thought it was different from a "regular" cookie! I am definitely recommending Kitchen 1726 and I will definitely order again in the future!

I recently hired Chef Kryssie to do a pop-up Filipino dinner at my home with 14 of my friends, and she was nothing short of incredible! She came to our home 2 hours early to prep, and she had her Sous Chef help as well. I showed her to the kitchen and from there she created all the magic. I could smell the delicious aromas throughout my house as she was prepping. When my guests arrived at 6pm, she was ready to serve the 1st of 6 courses:Ube Pandesal with Ube butter - Amazing! So soft and delicious. The ube butter really puts it over the top.Kale Salad - market vegetables, marcona almonds, mustard frills, honey-calamansi vinaigrette. Lots of flavor!Arroz Caldo - steel cut oats, pulled chicken, chives, crispy garlic, fried mushroom, sous vide egg, ginger-saffron broth. Delicious comfort food!Unicorn Garlic Rice - ube, pandan, saffron, jasmine & red rice, toasted garlic. The most colorful rice you'll ever see!Lechon Porchetta - with homemade lechon gravy. The star of the show!Agave Roasted Thumbelina Carrots - delicious veggies!Brown Butter Red Velvet Cookie Trifle - ube mascarpone cream, chocolate crispies. Dreamy!As each course came out, she would describe the food and sometimes gave a little background or story as to how she put it together or what the dish means to her. Chef Kryssie is personable and professional. If you're looking for an authentic and incredible Filipino meal, Chef Kryssie is one of the best in town! Contact her for your private events or she also sells her famous ube pandesal and other Filipino-inspired delicacies on her website at: https://eatatkitchen1726.com/

She's a one-man show and is in high demand. Everything she creates is done to perfection: catered meals, presentation, baked goods. All of it. She has done a kamayan feast for an event, as well as prepared meals we can unpack and enjoy. Her ube butter is out of this world.

I just want to say I had my ube butter spread on my pandan treat this morning with my coffee was just what I needed after a long week. This is the first time I've had the pleasure of trying Pandan treats and it's beyond amazing but..butter amazing!!!! I give Kitchen 1726 1000 stars if I could. Not to mention Kryssie is great! Super professional, friendly and very sweet highly recommend Kitchen 1726!

We hired Chef Kryssie for our wedding cake, and it was beautiful and delicious. The process of inquiry for the custom cake order was very simple and easy. She was very responsive to emails and texts. We sent her an image reference as our cake's aesthetic guide. Our request for a nearly-naked cake with fresh flowers was spot on. We also appreciated that she came early to setup and decorate the cake with the fresh flowers.We recommend ordering her cake sampling kit. It was very helpful for deciding our wedding cake flavor. All of her buttercream frostings were delicious. We loved them because the frostings were light and not overly sweet. Ultimately we decided on onyx chocolate with vanilla buttercream. Thank you Chef Kryssie for taking part in our special day.

I ordered the ensaymada (ube, pandan, cheese and cinnamon toast). So good and for the price, it's worth it! So easy to communicate and very responsive and reliable. The order got ready as promised.

This week my husband and I had the pleasure of being part of the OC Magazine "Best of" Party at Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado. There were many food vendors there, and we had the opportunity to experience many of the delicious tastings showcased. AND... the one that truly captured my attention was the KITCHEN 1726 booth hosted by the incredible Chef Kryssie herself joined by a very charming young lady (whose name escapes me at the moment... forgive!) We were truly impressed with the blend of spices and herbs which joined, created what I call "A PIECE OF HEAVEN". The best chicken and rice recipe ever created; warm, creamy, and totally DELICIOUS. Thank you young ladies for such a wonderful treat and best wishes!PS: When we start doing events again at our place of business we will definitely call on KITCHEN 1726 to host them. :)

I ordered an ube flan cake for my birthday dinner party. it was a great addition to my mermaid theme, in color and in taste! the flan was silky, yet firm while the ube cake portion was soft and fluffy -- like a japanese cloud cake. it was delicious, yet not too sweet. it went perfectly with my dessert spread of pandan crinkle cookies and ube butter mochi. I even gave a slice to my picky parents and they loved it! I'm so glad I picked this place to cater my birthday cake. it was easy to order through text and pick up was easy, with plenty of parking. chef Kristie is talented and sweet. she let me do my pick up order on her day off, AND she came out in a purple outfit that matched the ube flan cake. even if it was a coincidence, what attention to detail!! I love ube, so I'll definitely try some of her other catering items. she really knows what she's doing

We had the best time with Chef Kryssie and her team! I was looking for a filipino-inspired chef for a party I was hosting. I was so pleased to find Chef Kryssie and she was so easy to work with. She offered a delicious menu that my guests raved about. Leading up to the party, we corresponded via text which made decision-making convenient. The day of the event, she arrived early with her team and stayed in communication with me on timing of the food. By the end of the night, her team cleaned the kitchen, took out the trash, and left everything they touched spotless. We were spoiled to have her and it will make it hard for us to host future parties without her!
