The Best Restaurants In Seattle - Seattle - The Infatuation
"Eating at Musang is like being guests at a pal’s dreamy dinner party, and we’re not just saying that because this Filipino restaurant is located inside a renovated craftsman. Throughout our many visits here, we’ve joined in on dining room-wide toasts and “Happy Birthday” singalongs, which would be enough to make Musang an exciting place to have a meal. But we’d also sit in a dark coat closet just to eat their exceptional takes on Filipino classics. From peppery pork lumpia with a crackly shell dunked in chivey sawsawan to a flame-seared, peanut butter bagoong-basted short rib kare kare, these are dishes that make us want to stop everything and sing about them as if life were a movie musical. Said musical would feature hits such as “Jollibee’s Jealous,” a jazzy little number about their rice-dredged buttermilk fried chicken, and “My Ginataan Devotion,” a ballad for their crisp vegetables in coconut sauce and vegan shrimp paste." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
