At just 33 years old, Chef Allan Vale is redefining Filipino comfort food with The R&V Bulaluhan Session Sizzling and Bar in Floridablanca, Pampanga. His journey from international kitchens to a beloved local restaurant is a testament to his passion for both global flavors and his roots.

Before opening his own restaurant, Chef Allan made a name for himself as an Executive Chef, working in luxury hotels and top restaurants abroad. His international culinary experience dazzled diners worldwide, but his heart always longed for home. When he returned to the Philippines, he worked in a prominent hotel chain but soon realized his dream of creating a space where Filipino food could shine.
The result is The R&V Bulaluhan, a fusion of Chef Allan’s international flair and the rich flavors of Filipino cuisine. More than just a dining spot, the restaurant is a celebration of Filipino culture and community.

From the moment you step inside, the vibrant décor, sizzling platters, lively conversations, and mouthwatering aromas transport you into a sensory journey. Every detail—from the taste of the food to the touch of warm hospitality—is carefully crafted to make every visit memorable.
At The R&V Bulaluhan, each dish is thoughtfully prepared by Chef Allan himself, blending Filipino classics with a sophisticated touch. From slow-cooked bulalo to sizzling platters and local drinks, every item reflects his love for Filipino flavors.
The restaurant’s ambiance mirrors its menu, filled with Filipino charm that immediately makes you feel at home. It’s no wonder that The R&V Bulaluhan has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
For Chef Allan, Filipino food is more than just a meal—it’s a story of family, warmth, and resilience. He wanted to elevate beloved dishes like bulalo while keeping their authenticity intact.
Despite his young age, Chef Allan’s journey from international kitchens to a thriving Filipino restaurant is an inspiration. He’s not just a businessman—he’s a storyteller, using food to narrate the heart of Filipino culture.
