Jodi Sta. Maria and son join Chowking as ambassadors for the new and improved Chicken Lauriat

Got appetite to spare? A lauriat may just be the thing.

A lauriat typically consists of several Chinese dishes served together in a large, communal table, often enjoyed in large groups. The term originated from the Chinese word “lao diat,” which means “celebration of life.” This Chinese banquet-style meal is a favorite among Filipinos because it is often associated with special occasions and celebrations, such as birthdays and weddings. It is a shared dining experience that brings families and friends together over a delicious and satisfying meal.
