Hello friends! Grayson and I decided that we needed to have something we had never gone out for before…Filipino food! Kumare is located in Richmond hidden amongst many other restaurant. The brightly lit Kumare sign helped us locate it quickly though!. I don’t know why we’ve never gone for it before but I guess it’s because there’s not a lot of Filipino restaurants in the city. I know of three of them in the Metro Vancouver area?
For the savouries, my favourite here would be the delightfully fragrant, crunchy, soft, eggy sisig (yes, it can be all these things at once). The only downside would be the size. It's a little smaller than portions at other Filipino places, but I totally don't mind. The cheese buns are also FABULOUS. An almost thick, fluffy layer of sugar over a soft, sweet bun with a salty cheese filling? Can't be good for you, but my taste buds care not.
Edit: Went back for another cheese bun, they're inconsistent with the cheese filling! :( There was very little of it, off to the side of the bun. Pork empanada wasn't bad though.
I went to Kumare two days in a row because it was just that good. Delicious, reasonably priced, generous portions, authentic, what more can you ask for?. I want to go back again and try everything on the menu! Their menu is pretty extensive, so it's probably going to take a while ~ Kumare doubles as a bakery, at the front they have a ton of filipino buns, sweets and cakes! Try resisting them when you go up to the counter to pay ;)
