Historic Filipinotown Is L.A.'s Next Great Dining Neighborhood
"Before veteran chef Minh Phan opened Porridges + Puffs (which serves beautiful bowls of Koda Farms Kokuho Rose organic heirloom rice adorned with pickles and edible flowers) last year, she met with Samala, Valerie Confections' Valerie Gordon, and Tactile's Mike and Eric Yi. They discussed the potential of the neighborhood and how they could happily co-exist. 'I found my tribe,' Phan says. 'I really wanted it to be an Asian-American enclave. Not just Asian. It has to be Angelenos of a certain generation. We just all understand each other.'" - Andy Wang
