In this episode of Katas ng Kusina, we head to Brampton to meet Cherry and Erwin Bansil, the powerhouse couple behind Tummy Fillers, a Filipino catering business that has grown from humble backyard potlucks into one of the most trusted names in the community.
What began as word-of-mouth orders from friends and family has turned into a full-blown catering service—serving everything from weddings to baby showers, and now even running a private banquet space. With dishes like roast beef, cordon bleu, and their signature party trays, Cherry and Erwin prove that passion, patience, and hard work go a long way.
After years of juggling multiple events from a home kitchen and a 2005 minivan, they finally built a commercial kitchen three years in the making. Now able to cater up to 700 guests, they’re living proof that when you take the risk, the reward can taste oh-so-sweet.
From potlucks to packed bookings—Tummy Fillers is more than a catering business; it’s a Filipino Canadian success story.
