Artistry does not discriminate nor hate. It lives in every human person. It is unique that no same person possesses the same. It befriends those who spend more time knowing it. Architect EJ Pasia is an embodiment of an artist. Whether in the television, in architecture or in the culinary arts, his personal touches are one of those unique inceptions that brings you in an idiosyncratic experience, a journey.
His flashy and nonconformist furniture in the current Pinoy Big Brother TV Series are displayed and his name is mentioned in each and every show. The most advanced and artistic peace and discussion venue in Mindanao are also his. Using Mindanao's inherent, artistry he made it into an indigenous but modern hall which makes every Dabawenyo proud. When you see a house with that artistic touch of simplicity and flashiness, you would know it is his. Each and every work is a classic, a work of art.
EJ is not only an architect and a designer, but he is also a restaurateur. He co-owns and manages Katsu Country. A Japanese restaurant with its unique offerings of authentic Japanese food and desserts that has its own personality. I am a big fan of his Katsudon, Tomato Ramen, Croquette and the Katsu curry. Not only is the taste great but the presentation is already an experience.
Katsu country menu did not only came out of simply preparing Japanese meals by looking at cookbook recipes or tasting other Japanese restaurants. He trained in Tokyo and Kobe with renowned chefs. It also imports Japanese recipes and Japanese culinary tools just to bring in that vibe of being in Shibuya, in Harajuku and other famous and trendy places in Tokyo. When you're in Davao and want to try the Tokyo experience, Katsu country is the place to be.
EJ Pasia is a remarkable artist. Be it in furniture, in architecture, and in the culinary arts, his artistic expression is not only seen and tasted but it can be felt in all his creations. He does not make things just for the sake of making one, but he creates them to be on par with the best. His achievements he no longer has to boast or mention. You simply have to witness his masterpieces. Artistry never chooses anyone it is up to us to befriend it, embrace it. My dear friend Architect, Designer, and Restaurateur EJ Pasia did and he is living life to the full.
