Commercial mixed-use urban development Araneta City was hailed as the Food & Beverage Retailer of the Year - Philippines in the highly acclaimed Retail Asia Awards 2025 for its one-of-a-kind dining destination World Kitchens that redefines dining as a global culinary experience.

Inspired by the comfort food of the world, WORLD KITCHENS is a one-of-a-kind, first-of-its-kind 5-star dining destination created by Singapore’s food and beverage guru Andrew Tan Hock Lai.

With a lineup of international show kitchens and specialty dishes crafted by chefs from around the globe, it has quickly become one of the metro’s newest—and most exciting—culinary destinations.

If there’s one thing that Chef Kevin Villarica is known for, it’s his fearless approach to flavor. Whether it’s elevating the humble steak or creating groundbreaking dishes, Chef Kevin has built a reputation as one of the Philippines’ most innovative chefs. Now, with his upcoming kitchen at World Kitchens in Araneta City, his culinary journey is about to enter an exciting new chapter.
