"A Filipino restaurant specializing in communal kamayan feasts served on banana leaves; a large shared spread included mounds of rice, lumpia, mussels, lechon kawali (fried pork belly), multiple bowls of bulalo (beef-shank stew), and individual pieces of fried bangus for each diner. The meal concluded with a nostalgic cashew-cookie wafer roll dessert that was powdery and intensely sweet." - Emma Alpern, Adam Mazur
