"Perhaps the friendliest and most delicious of the city’s Filipino steam table spots, Kusina Ni Tess recently reopened for takeout Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. It’s got a daily-changing menu that you should check if you’re craving something specific — say, chicken adobo (every day except Monday) or the oxtail peanut stew known as kare-kare (Wednesdays only). Traditional breakfast silog plates are available all day, every day. Call in or order delivery via Postmates." - Luke Tsai
