"On August 16, Ang will open his first restaurant, the highly anticipated Abacá, serving California-Filipino food in a sun-soaked, plant-filled space. The sisig fried rice is still on the menu. The Bay Area has known and loved sisig for some time, thanks, no doubt, in large part to Señor Sisig, the pioneering Filipino-American food truck with brick-and-mortar locations in the Mission and Oakland. But while Señor Sisig folds Filipino ingredients into burritos and tacos — even taking cues from Taco Bell — Abacá slips southeast Asian influences into the menu in more subtle ways." - Lauren Saria
