Welcome to my

digital kusina,

where stories are shared, flavors are born, and dreams keep cooking.

This is not your ordinary site. Not a highlight reel.

This is where I keep it real—where I share the lessons,

Lutong Buhay:

Life, Cooked With Heart

This is not just a phrase—it’s a philosophy.

Lutong Buhay means living the way we cook:

With what you have. With care. With courage.

It’s how Marvin built every part of his journey—from his first fried rice to his restaurants, content, and mission.

If you’re figuring things out, building something from scratch, or starting over—this is for you.

Talks & Collaborations

Sharing the Mic

Marvin shares real stories—not formulas. From RCBC Boz Sessions to podcasts and summits, his talks focus on resilience, growth, and Lutong Buhay in action.

Started From a Small Kitchen

Before the shows, before the restaurants—Marvin was just a hungry kid with leftover rice, a small pan, and a dream.

At nine years old, he cooked his first fried rice with nothing but gut instinct and a love for flavor. From mascot to waiter, actor to entrepreneur—Marvin’s journey has always circled back to one place: the kitchen.

It’s where stories are stirred, lessons are simmered, and memories are made. That same spirit lives on in Lutong Buhay, his Facebook group where Marvin shares real recipes, real conversations, and a taste of life behind the scenes.

Join the group—not for perfection, but for connection.
Because the best meals (and moments) are always the ones that feel totoo.

From Passion to Plate, Every Brand Tells a Story

A journey that started in a small kitchen now lives on in every dish, every space, and every experience Marvin creates.

From viral cochinillo feasts to modern dimsum halls and immersive dining concepts, Marvin Agustin’s brands are more than restaurants—they’re reflections of his roots, passions, and belief that food brings people home.

Whether it’s the honest comfort of Marvin’s Kitchen, the bold flavors of Mr. Monk, the cultural soul of Kondwi, or the world-class elegance of Wolfgang’s Steakhouse PH—each one is crafted with heart, purpose, and a deep love for sharing stories through food.

Together, they celebrate Filipino creativity, global influence, and the joy of gathering around the table.

Film and TV

From Kutob to Ang Tanging Ina, Marvin’s performances are part of Filipino pop culture. But the deeper story lies in how he translated the lessons from those sets into his life behind the camera.

Where the Kitchen Meets the Feed

Marvin’s online presence is not for clout—it’s for connection.

Whether he’s cooking something new, sharing a failure, or reflecting on a quiet win, you’ll find him showing up just as he is.

Tuloy lang. Luto lang nang luto.

Let's be friends!
