About Our Founder:
Chef Rob Pengson
Chef Rob Pengson is a chef, restaurateur, entrepreneur, and educator with more than 20 years of experience in culinary arts, hospitality, restaurant operations, and business development.
​
His work and training have brought him to Tokyo, Singapore, San Francisco, Australia, and parts of Europe, helping shape his modern approach to culinary education, leadership, and innovation for chefs and entrepreneurs.
Chef Rob’s culinary training includes studies and specialization from institutions such as California Culinary Academy, Yamato Noodle School, and Tokyo Sushi Academy, alongside high-level operational exposure and professional honing within the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.
​
He is also recognized as one of the pioneers of the modern tasting menu movement in the Philippines through the award-winning restaurant The Goose Station from 2009 to 2016. In 2015, during the first Madrid Fusion Manila, Chef Rob presented the “Rizal Menu,” a storytelling tasting menu experience inspired by Filipino identity, heritage, and narrative dining — a concept that has since become widely adopted across many modern fine dining establishments today.
​
His business and leadership philosophy has also been greatly influenced by executive education from Harvard Business School Online, The Wharton School, and the Asian Institute of Management, particularly in entrepreneurship, leadership, strategy, innovation, and modern business systems.
​
Throughout his career, Chef Rob has led and developed award-winning restaurants and has received recognition from organizations and media including Madrid Fusion, Miele Asia’s Best Restaurants, MBKRS Best Chef & Restaurant Awards, alongside numerous culinary competition, media, and industry recognitions over the years.
Trusted by thousands of parents, students, professionals, entrepreneurs, men, women, and children of all ages — as well as some of the country’s most respected brands and organizations — Chef Rob remains one of the longest-standing and most committed individuals in Philippine culinary and hospitality education.
​
To this day, he remains 100% personally invested in helping others reach the top of their careers, leadership, and business success. Few individuals in the culinary industry have impacted as many lives through education, mentorship, and real-world training.
​
Most importantly, Chef Rob still teaches personally every week, giving Aleanza students direct founder-level mentorship, guidance, and real-world insight rarely accessible anywhere else.
