"Chef Carlo Lamagna’s Magna Kusina is a love letter to the Philippines that survived and thrived after the pandemic: classic dishes like Shrimp Sinigang (a lemony tamarind stew with daikon, long beans, cabbage, and shrimp) and Mom’s Crab Fat Noodles with pickled corn and Dungeness crab sit alongside evening skewers (Tuhog) and inventive plates like Seafood Kare-Kare and Pork Rib Adobo, while cocktails—Pinoy Daiquiri with calamansi and pandan or a Tanglad Sour with lemongrass gin—echo Filipino flavors." - Hannah Wallace
