They also worked with the Kultivate Labs initiative to support their colleagues and community. They were able to expand their reach to various communities in need such as health care professionals, families, and seniors. In terms of their favorite dishes, one of them is the bicol express. It is traditionally a chili-based coconut pork stew. The Ox and Tiger version uses tonkatsu and drowns it in their chili-coconut sauce, served with rice and atchara (Filipino pickles).

Another favorite is the mentaiko pancit. Mentaiko spaghetti is traditionally a Japanese home- cooked dish with mentaiko (spicy cod roe), Japanese mayo, and spaghetti. They mixed that with the Filipino pancit palabok, which is a seafood-heavy noodle dish. They make the dish with pancit wheat noodles cooked in garlic oil, then mix with a mentaiko sauce and topped with charred mushrooms and onsen tamago (soft boiled egg).
