NEW OPENINGS AND RETURNS

Magna Kusina
After going on hiatus this winter to rest, remodel, and work on some new ideas, chef Carlo Lamagna’s acclaimed Filipino restaurant reopened for both indoor and outdoor seating last weekend with a new menu. The menu includes tuhong (skewers), pulutan (snacks) like lumpia and sisig, and ulam (main dishes) like chicken adobo and beef pares.  Desserts include biko (coconut sticky rice topped with polvoron) and halo-halo.
