"The tocino at FOB Kitchen is only available during their daily brunch, so use that as an excuse to spend a morning at this Temescal spot. It's the ideal time to get up close and personal with the pork steak, which is caramelized around the edges like a sticky halo, and even better mixed around with the sunny-side-up egg, punchy garlic rice, and the house hot sauce. You’re also coming to the Filipino restaurant for golden brown lumpia, solid fried chicken, and cocktails with names like “Fresh Off The Boat” with pandan and red bean and the tangy mezcal-based “Feelin’ Myself." Whatever ends up on your table, prepare to spend an hour or two soaking in the tropical theme, complete with palm leaf murals and a clan of houseplants, while contemplating ordering another round of tocino. photo credit: Krescent Carasso Food Rundown photo credit: Julia Chen Tocino The best brunch item on the menu, hands down. A pork steak the size of a keyboard is grilled until charred and caramelly, and served with garlic rice draped with an egg. If you don’t order this, you’ll spend the rest of the meal wishing you did. Longanisa Hash A solid hash with pork sausage, mini potato cubes, and a sunny-side-up egg on top. It’s got less of the “need-this-now” factor than the tocino, but still a great egg-centric option nonetheless. photo credit: Krescent Carasso Shanghai Lumpia It’s easy to finish off an entire order of these long, thin pork lumpia (six pieces per plate) in approximately 60 seconds, so do yourself a favor and start with three helpings for the table." - Julia Chen
