Warm your soul with our Overload Lugaw at Couple Chef Restaurant & Catering Services. This hearty Filipino rice porridge is loaded with an assortment of tender meats and generous toppings — described by our customers as a 'warm, savoury hug in a bowl.' A comfort food favourite on Fife Street in Winnipeg.
Lugaw is the Filipino take on congee — a comforting rice porridge that has been a staple of Filipino households for generations. At Couple Chef, we take this beloved classic to the next level with our 'Overload' version, packing the bowl with generous portions of tender chicken, pork, egg, toasted garlic, scallions, and a drizzle of calamansi and fish sauce.
Our Overload Lugaw is slow-cooked to achieve that perfect, silky consistency — thick enough to be satisfying, yet smooth enough to be soothing. It's the ultimate comfort food, perfect for chilly Winnipeg mornings, rainy afternoons, or whenever you need a warm, flavourful bowl to lift your spirits. Each bowl is made fresh and served piping hot.
