Kuya Lord

Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week | Eater LA

"I found Lord Maynard Llera’s Filippino comfort cooking comforting and exciting: the lucenachon (crispy slow-roasted pork belly rolled with lemongrass and aromatics) comes alongside garlic Java rice, pancit chami, tomato-cucumber salad, and pleasantly sweet-sour pickled papaya, and I loved cutting through the pork’s fattiness with a tart mango Sanzo. Don’t skip the calamansi pie — Llera’s Key-lime–style rendition is topped with a light-green swirl of pandan whipped cream and delivers a buttery, crumbly crust with a perfect sweet-salty-tart balance; always make room for dessert here." - Eater Staff
