"What happens when you combine the sexy dining room energy of spots like Found Oyster and Barra Santos with tremendous Malaysian food from the chef behind Pearl River Deli? You get Rasarumah, a well-oiled dinner destination in Historic Filipintown that’s even more fun than the pedigree of its owners might suggest. And by fun, we mean sharing plates of butter-rich beef cheek rendang and sweet-tangy mango salad, drinking barley shochu, and giggling under the giant back-lit letterboard that reads “Hold on to yer butts.” After smearing their bright red sambal on every dish, we didn't want to leave our burnt orange banquette—and neither will you. Order the pandan sundae for dessert to buy yourself a few extra minutes." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, garrett snyder, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, cathy park, cathy park, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins, sylvio martins, sylvio
