Tahm Kench’s Food Fest
While we were waiting for the River King to arrive in our side the world, Pinoy summoners were busy cooking up a bountiful feast in honor of Tahm Kench.
From Teemo tasties to Cataclysm cakes, you guys submitted some crazy, awesome recipes — culinary creations worthy of the Master Chef Tahm Kench himself.
Let’s check out the best League of Legends-inspired cuisine the PH community creatively crafted! We included most of the how-to’s so you can try these tasty recipes on your own!
Caitlyn’s Top Hat Cake
1 ¾ cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 cup Cocoa
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Salt
1 cup Milk
1/3 cup Water
1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips, melted BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:
1 slab Butter, softened
2 cup Confectioner’s Sugar
3 tablespoons Milk
1 ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Ciara Bergado doesn’t just own the lane with Caitlyn. She owns baking competitions too. Look at this delicious version of the Piltover sherrif’s infamous top hat!
Also works as bait on Yordle Snap Traps! I used chocolate cake layered with buttercream frosting, carved it to the desired shape, and covered it with purple and yellow marshmallow fondant. It turned out delicious and very fun to make! — Ciara
This piece of art is a bit complicated to make, and Ciara sent in quite a long and detailed step by step guide. It’ll be too long to post in this page though, so if you’re interested in recreating it, feel free to message us and we’ll send you the recipe!
The Braumburger
1/4 ground chicken meat
1/4 butter
3 glove of garlic
2 slices of tomatoes
1 potato
1 carrot
1 slice of pineapple
1 slice of cheese
a leaf of lettuce
mayonnaise
grated lemon skin
pinch of salt
teaspoon of soy sauce
This manly hamburger was created by Isabel Ruth Paña. Inspired by her go-to champ in the League, we are sure the Majestic Braumburger tastes as epic as it looks. If you squint your eyes, you can even see an outline of Braum himself!
INSTRUCTION:
Mince a clove of garlic. Put in the salt, soy sauce, grated lemon skin and minced garlic on the ground chicken and mix. Shape the ground meat into patty. Thinly slice the potato in half. Grab two slice then start shaping them into a mustache.
Heat up the pan and pour some olive oil. Sear the chicken patty for about 2–3 minutes. Add the butter and 2 glove garlic. Continue to sear the chicken patty until both sides are cooked.
Put the chicken patty side, and wipe off of the excess butter in the pan.
Fry the moustache potatoes. After frying the potatoes, add a little olive oil and grill the buns for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Arrange the ingredients starting from the bottom bun. Add the tomatoes, chicken patty, lettuce, cheese and top bun. Spread the mayo under the lettuce. Garnish it with carrot eyes and potato mustache. Use the ends of a toothpick to hold the garnish. Voila, you now have the manliest burger in town.
Poro Amumu Cupcake
We saw a lot of baked goodies resembling our one true lord and savior Teemo. However, one cupcake stood out just because one — it is not Teemo, and two — it’s really well-crafted. This Poro Amumu cupcake is made by Brad Anton Lomeda, a reimagination of what the sad mummy would look like if he was from Freljord (and a Poro).
INGREDIENTS: 1 Cupcake, 1 Pack of Marshmallows, Whipped Cream
INSTRUCTIONS:
Melt the marshmallow in a pan to make a clay like texture of fondant. Shape the fondant in your desired model. Arrange the shape model on top of the cupcake. Put whipped cream under the model to make it sit atop the cupcake. If desired put edible glitters to match the theme.
Other awesome cupcake submissions:
Vladimir’s Sanguine Pool
1 jig Grape juice
Half cup Apple Juice
Half cup Strawberry Juice
Tonic water (can use Sprite as a Substitute)
Whipped cream
Fresh Strawberries (optional)
Ice
We actually tried this recipe out ourselves, and it tastes bloody amazing! Daryl Gamboa concocted this refreshment based on his favorite hemomancer in the League.
For summoners over the age of 18, you can substitute red wine in place of grape juice.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Chop the strawberries in half and set aside. Combine the apple, strawberry and grape juice in the glass. Stir in the chopped strawberries.
Add tonic water and stir slowly. Add ice. Finally top it off with some whipped cream
Swain and Azir Double Chicken Wing
Tristan John Guerrero sent in this recipe inspired by his two loves in League of Legends — Azir and Swain.
I tend to choose or main champions who are not popular in League of Legends. And a few weeks ago, I noticed that Swain and Azir were one of those champions. When I tried them out, I immediately fell in love with them. But I enjoyed playing Swain the most. I even changed my summoner name to symbolize Swain. I wanted these two champions to be noticed so I wanted make a dish that would symbolize them. — Tristan
According to him, the spicy buffalo wings represent Swain while the Asian zing sauce and mashed potato siding are his tributes to Shurima’s emperor. Together, it’s one delicious combination.
INSTRUCTIONS
Bufflao Wings: Cut the chicken wings into three portions: the drumette, the largest potion and one-boned, the wingette, and the tip.Rub the chicken with salt and pepper than let the chicken rest. Fry the chicken wings in a pan with hot oil. The chicken wings will be ready when they have a golden brown color (10 minutes). Let the chicken wings rest on paper towels.
Buffalo Sauce: Mix together a 1/2 cup of hot sauce and 1/2 of ketchup. Add a teaspoon of vinegar and melted butter.

Poro Munchkins by Regie Ann Vocales
“I have always loved playing ARAM, and the thing I loved in ARAM the most (aside from the challenge of random champion picks) are those cute little POROS! I even think of them as my lucky charms, so I have to feed them my poro snax on the first minute, or else I will have bad luck and thin my chances of winning the game (haha!)” — Regie
Japanese Poro Snack by Tricia Ayana Icamen
“I made this because i love Japanese food, and every time I eat Onigiri, it always reminds me of a Poro. It is the cutest character in League of Legends, I mean, who doesn’t like Poros, right? :)” — Tricia
