San Diego’s Popular White Rice Filipino Restaurant Opens in Montebello | Eater LA

"After boosting the profile of Filipino food in San Diego, Phillip Esteban brought White Rice to BLVD MRKT, opening there on Thursday, October 11, 2024; I was told his team will serve the same menu as his two San Diego outlets, including his top-selling pork belly lechon kawali bowl and ube pandesal with whipped ube butter, plus tofu mushroom sisig, lumpia, and a sweet longganisa sausage bowl with egg and garlic rice. Every dish is $15 and under, and drinks include calamansi iced tea and a bright-purple ube milk tea, with hours Tuesday–Thursday 11 a.m.–8 p.m. and Friday–Sunday until 9 p.m." - Mona Holmes
