"I found Phil-Am Food Mart to be a lively Filipino grocery carrying essentials like balut in the cold case and an array of sweet polvorón on the shelves; tucked in the back they sell baked bunsiopao—golden-brown, airy buns filled with savory-sweet, soy-infused pork asado (sometimes called “toasted” siopao)—sold in batches of four or six, and staff say empanadas are available Thursday to Sunday and are freshest in the afternoons." - Hannah Bae
