On​ ​Friday​ ​15th​ ​September​ ​Mama ​​Z ​will​ ​be ​transforming ​the​ ​Unit ​101 ​railway​ ​arch​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Mama Z​ ​Filipino​ ​Disco ​pop ​up ​​serving ​​freshly​ ​cooked ​​Filipino ​​food ​​right ​in ​front ​​of ​​you.

What ​​started ​​as​ ​a ​secret ​dining ​​club ​for​ ​friends​ ​has​ ​quickly​ ​turned ​​into ​​an ​event ​​Manchester​ ​has never​ experienced ​before. ​​Over​ ​the ​past ​​few​ ​years, ​​Mama ​Z ​​has​ ​been ​​making ​​her​ ​Instagram fans​ ​drool ​​with ​​her​ ​daily​ ​photos​ ​of ​food, ​she ​cooks​ ​at ​​home, ​and ​now​ ​it’s​ ​your​ ​first ​opportunity​ ​to taste ​​it!

The ​night ​​will ​begin ​as​ ​you ​​step ​​out ​​of ​the ​​Manchester​ ​night ​​into ​​an ​​underground ​den ​imported directly​ ​from​ ​Manila. ​​You’ll ​be ​welcomed ​with ​a ​drink​ ​and ​seated ​​in ​front ​​of ​an ​​open ​​kitchen ​to watch ​​Mama ​​Z ​​cook​ ​up ​​her​ ​Filipino ​feast ​​from​ ​scratch, ​​and ​you ​might ​​even ​find ​​out ​​about ​the dishes​ ​and ​​their​ ​history. ​​For​ ​the ​​price ​​of ​the ​ticket, ​​you ​experience ​​four​ ​Filipino ​dishes​ ​matched with ​four​ ​beers​ ​or​ ​Filipino ​mocktails​ ​that ​​have ​been ​ ​hand ​picked ​by​ ​Mama ​Z ​to ​match ​the flavours​ ​of ​the ​​food. ​​Once ​​the ​​food ​​has​ ​been ​​served, ​it’s​ ​time ​​to ​​move ​the ​ ​tables​ ​to ​one ​side ​as we ​​hand ​​over​ ​to ​​our​ ​DJ​ ​for​ ​some ​tropical ​deep ​disco ​vibes.

Mama ​​Z ​​aka ​Zosima ​Fulwell ​is​ ​a ​Manchester​ ​girl ​and ​self-taught ​cook​ ​who ​grew​ ​up ​in ​Saudi Arabia, ​spending ​her​ ​summer​ ​holidays​ ​in ​her​ ​mother’s​ ​home ​​country, ​​the ​Philippines. ​​Her memories​ ​of ​​the ​place ​​are ​​being ​surrounded by​ ​food ​​and ​​anyone ​who ​​knows​ ​a ​​Filipino ​​knows that ​​food ​​is​ ​the ​main ​event ​of ​any​ ​gathering.

Zosima ​​said ​”I’m​ ​so ​excited ​to ​​bring ​​a ​taste ​​of ​the ​Philippines​ ​to ​​Manchester​ ​with ​​my​ ​first ​ever pop ​​up. ​Food ​ ​brings​ ​everyone ​​together, ​and ​the ​​sharing ​​of ​​food ​​is​ ​what ​​makes​ ​it ​​so ​special.”

The ​Mama ​Z ​Filipino​ ​Disco ​​is​ ​on ​​Friday​ ​Sep ​15th​ ​2017​ ​at ​​Unit ​101, ​​Great ​Western​ ​Street, Manchester​ ​M12 ​6JL. 7pm​ ​-​ ​12am.
