Musang Fried ChickenJoy
double-fried buttermilk-brined chicken thighs, lawd kiki's gravy
Amazing once you added the gravy, completely changed the dish.
$32.00
4
Spring Sinigang
NW bounty halibut, spring peas, pea vines, green garlic butter, spring radishes
This is Lauren's rating. She says it was perfectly cooked, delicate, etc. I was so full that I only had a slice. I didn't like the broth, it had a very kelpy smell.
$42.00

Bibingka
grilled coconut & corn rice cakes, whipped honey butter, maldon salt
I really liked these. They have these on the dessert menu, which I think makes more sense.
$12.00

House Shrub
seasonal fruit, rice wine vinegar, soda

Pianono
Ate this as leftovers, but still a very solid dessert. Sponge cake with strawberry rhubarb. Maybe close to a 4 if I had it fresh.

Tokwa't Baboy
whipped tofu, fried pork belly, arugula, strawberry pinakurat, pickled fresnos
Fried pork belly was a little dry. I'm not that big on whipped tofu. Small portion, which was great for the amount of food we ordered.
$20.00

Lima

Too much of a backend pandan taste.

I wouldn't get them again, but Lauren didn't mind them.

Not my thing. Like a hotdog eggroll. (Lauren gives a 3/4)

House Atchara

Lauren rating
$6.00

Kari Crisp Side
kari kari garlic chili crisp (contains nuts)
It's fine, but you wouldn't use it for the fish and I don't think it complemented the fried chicken.
$3.00

Notes
Google Maps Notes: "The sweet spot in Seattle is mid to high end Asian. Archipeligo, Musang, Paju, Kamonegi, Nirmals and the many omakase options. Those are the places I recommend." https://old.reddit.com/r/finedining/comments/1dzylbs/seattle_fine_dining_must_visits/lciz52o/
