Best Filipino Food in Metro Detroit | Eater Detroit

"It’s best to come in the morning to eat before the food runs out at this turo turo or “point-point” spot in Warren. Owned by Sonia Sutter, the hybrid restaurant/grocery store offers Filipino classics cafeteria-style, such as longanisa, laing, fried pompano fish, paksiw na bangus (stewed milkfish), upo (sauteed bottle gourd), and adobo. Filipinas also carries specialty items like banana sauce and ready-made desserts like ube halaya. You’ll also find colorful sweet treats like hopia in a display cooler. The interior of the spot is embellished with visual reminders of the islands, like a painting of the Taal Volcano or trinkets decorated with the country’s flag. Filipinas also serves as a shipping point for balikbayan boxes, or packages of gifts and essentials people send to their loved ones back home in the Philippines." - Eleanore Catolico
