✨ 𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐌 𝐁𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬’ 𝐍𝐨𝐦 𝐊𝐡𝐚 𝐏𝐨𝐩-𝐔𝐩: 𝐀 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢, 𝐀 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞!

The HRIM 173 (Beverage Management II) class has once again raised the bar successfully conceptualizing, launching, and managing their very own pop-up business: 𝗡𝗼𝗺 𝗞𝗵𝗮.

For three vibrant days, Nom Kha treated the UP community to refreshing Thai-inspired beverages and delectable bites, transforming simple flavors into an unforgettable cultural and culinary experience.

But beyond the excitement of long queues and satisfied guests, Nom Kha stood for something bigger. The class chose to pay it forward, donating their proceeds in the form of crystalware, bar tools, and essential equipment to the department. This lasting contribution will support and empower the next generation of HRIM students, ensuring that learning continues not only inside the classroom but through real, hands-on innovation. 🍹✨

This milestone would not have been possible without the generous support of 𝗡𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗹é 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗞𝗮𝘁, whose partnership helped turn a classroom project into a meaningful legacy.

Nom Kha is more than a pop-up. It is a celebration of teamwork, entrepreneurship, community impact, and the HRIM spirit of excellence and service.

Here’s to our students, future leaders in hospitality and beverage management who continue to dream boldly, serve passionately, and give back with purpose. 🌟👏

𝐀𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐧𝐢 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐞 Ł𝐮𝐜𝐳𝐚𝐣 (𝐔𝐏 𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐌)

𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙐𝙋’𝙨 𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙈𝙄𝘾𝙃𝙀𝙇𝙄𝙉-𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙚𝙙 𝙠𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙣: 𝗔 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩, 𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚.

Every great chef begins with a spark, a curiosity about flavors, a desire to serve, and the courage to keep learning. For 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒇 𝑳𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒆 Ł𝒖𝒄𝒛𝒂𝒋, that spark was nurtured in the halls of the 𝐔𝐏 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬, under the 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥, 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐌) program. What began as classroom lessons on service and systems became the foundation for a remarkable culinary journey, one that would lead her to the kitchens of Now Now, a bold and creative canteen in Manila that has since earned 𝐌𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Lisane’s story is one of grace under pressure and passion in motion. She often speaks of hospitality not merely as a skill but as a rhythm, the rhythm of a team working in harmony, of plates served with care, of guests who leave feeling seen and remembered. Her training at UP taught her that true hospitality is both science and soul: precise in detail, yet generous in heart.

In the professional world, Lisane carved her niche as a 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨-𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐍𝐨𝐰, a space that celebrates fermentation, sustainability, and Filipino creativity. Every dessert she crafts tells a story, of local ingredients reimagined, of traditions rediscovered, and of a deep respect for process and people. For her, every recipe is a conversation between culture, community, and curiosity.

When 𝑵𝒐𝒘 𝑵𝒐𝒘 received its 𝑴𝑰𝑪𝑯𝑬𝑳𝑰𝑵 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, Lisane stood not only as a chef being honored, but as an alumna representing the excellence, humility, and innovation that UP instills in its students. The recognition was more than a badge of culinary success, it was a testament to collaboration, persistence, and purpose.

For aspiring HRIM students and young professionals, Lisane’s journey is a reminder that success is built one small, consistent act of passion at a time. It’s about asking “what if?” when faced with challenges, about finding beauty in the basics, and about believing that Filipino hospitality, grounded in warmth and creativity can shine anywhere in the world.

Chef Lisane Łuczaj’s story reminds us that the heart of hospitality goes beyond the plate. It lives in every thoughtful gesture, every experiment that pushes boundaries, and every team that dares to dream together.
