"This Filipino spot from the folks behind Musang specializes in pancit and bulalo, served in a bright space with seafoam-painted walls and bottles of Maggi displayed like knickknacks. Come here with a group ready to twist kare kare dan dan noodles swimming in a silky peanut and tahini sauce, or get a five-star facial from steaming bowls of beef shank bulalo. We also can't shut up about the sour tamarind-dusted sinigang wings—dunk each crispy piece in the sweet mango dipping sauce at your discretion. And unlike Musang, which can require patience and pure luck to snag a reservation, Kilig is ideal for an impromptu lunch." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
