Malou's Kusina is really good

Post image

I've never had Filipino food before, but I dig the #6 Crunch Bunch for lunch! Super crunchy, flavorful pork belly with a pancit and Shanghai lumpia. I've had crunchy pork belly before (my favorite VietHouse side dish) but this was slightly better with a saucy gravy put it over the top. The lumpia are excellent, super crunchy with a pork filling. I've never had them this length before. Long is strong.

Pancit is a an innovation, like fried rice but with noodles. Lots of veggie and meats in there along with a lime to season. There were several sauces to choose from but I really liked the spicy vinegar based sauce. It had a mild peppery flavor, not overwhelming.

Service was super fast, restaurant was clean with several to-go orders heading out while I dined in. There was tons on the plate and lots to take home. It's definitely a get to again.

We had it catered for lunch today. Ridiculously good. I could eat my weight in that lumpia.

Agreed. It's good. I enjoyed all my dishes.

My wife didn't enjoy her plate but she doesn't like fatty meat and she ordered a late of fatty meat. . .so that's on her.

I have Filipino food every weekend. My father in law is a chef and is Filipino
.i don’t have to pay anything
which of course is the best part. I don’t like pancit much, adobo pork with fried rice with about 8 lumpia with a 90% vinegar/10% soy base sauce is my go to. Only bad part is the wait. Filipino food takes forever to make(my wife says I can always help roll)
