For many Filipinos, kare-kare is a dish that brings people together.

It’s often served during family gatherings, celebrations, and Sunday lunches—not just because it’s delicious, but because it takes time and care to make.

What makes kare-kare special is that the sauce is the star. Rich, nutty, and deeply savory, it’s traditionally paired with bagoong, whose salty punch brings the whole dish to life.

At Manila Inasal, Chef Natalia Moran’s Beef & Oxtail Macadamia Kare-Kare honors that tradition while taking a different path.

Instead of peanuts, our sauce is made with macadamias and almonds, creating a velvety texture and flavor profile that’s uniquely our own while being mindful of common peanut allergies.

Slow-braised beef and oxtail. Seasonal vegetables. Bagoong on the side.

A Filipino classic, reimagined through Chef Nat’s lens.

Baryo HiFi recap. 🇵🇭🍔🍕

A few moments from this past weekend in Historic Filipinotown.

From the Filipino-inspired pizzas to the longganisa burger, halo-halo, and binatog — thank you to everyone who stopped by and spent the day with us.

Seeing people try the menu, react to the food, and share it with friends was such a fun experience.

More soon. 👀

Baryo HiFi recap. 🇵🇭🔥

This weekend we brought our Filipino-inspired pizzas, longaniza burgers, halo-halo, and binatog to Historic Filipinotown — and the love was unreal.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth, grabbed food, shared the reels, and spent part of your weekend with us.

Really cool seeing Beverly Blvd filled with Filipino food, music, art, and community all in one place.

Until the next pop-up. 👀

A special moment from last night at the Gold House Founders Party. 🇵🇭✨

One photo filled with Filipino and Filipino American directors, actors, producers, chefs, entrepreneurs, culinary leaders, creatives, and community builders — all creating, building, and pushing culture forward in their own way.

The room included creatives connected to Forgotten Island, cast members from The Pitt, Emmy nominees and winners, and people shaping conversations across film, television, food, music, business, and the arts.

Amongst the attendees were Liza Soberano, Bella Poarch, H.E.R., Nurse John, Azia Celestino, R’Bonney Gabriel, alongside actors, filmmakers, chefs, founders, artists, and creatives from across the Filipino community.

Not that long ago, a room like this would’ve been hard to imagine.

Now Filipino and Filipino American voices are helping shape spaces and industries that once felt out of reach — not as guests on the sidelines, but as part of the future of culture itself.

A future where our stories, ideas, food, art, and perspectives are part of the global narrative.

Proud that Manila Inasal is part of the movement helping move Filipino culture forward on a global stage.

And we’re only getting started.

Thank you to Gold House for continuing to create spaces that champion Asian and Filipino excellence.

Still thinking about this night.

A room full of people coming together over food, stories, and music—celebrating Filipino Food Month the way it’s meant to be.

Grateful to SoCal Filipinos for the partnership, and to everyone who showed up and shared the evening with us.

I first had inasal in Bacolod—nothing fancy, just rice, chicken, and a sarsawan with garlic and chicken oil. But it was so good, it stayed with me.

I also spent time in Iloilo, where it’s a little different—slightly sweeter. That’s when I realized there isn’t just one version. Every place does it their own way.

You’ll find inasal across the Philippines—Bacolod, Iloilo, Cebu, Antique and many more—each with its own take.

Over time, it became something I wanted to make my own. I kept thinking about lechon manok—something you bring to the table, something comforting, something people share.

That’s really what we tried to do here. Something you can have on your own, but also something you can put in the middle and enjoy with everyone.

Ours leans closer to Bacolod—but it’s not exactly that.

We marinate it for 48 hours in our own recipe, grill it, and finish it the way we like it.

This is ours. 🇵🇭✨

A menu inspired by this year’s Filipino Food Month theme:
“Connected by Taste: Filipino Food in the Flavors of ASEAN.”

Filipino cuisine has always been shaped by the cultures around us—through history, trade, and shared traditions across the region.

Each dish in this menu reflects that connection. Rooted in Filipino flavors, while embracing influences from our ASEAN neighbors—telling a story of how food brings cultures together.

Created for a special evening centered on community, culture, and purpose.

We’re one week away. Join us on April 25 for this one-night-only tasting experience. 🇵🇭✨

Really grateful to be included alongside so many restaurants we genuinely respect.

What’s happening with Filipino food in Los Angeles right now isn’t about any one place—it’s the result of a community of chefs, teams, and storytellers all pushing the culture forward in their own way.

From longtime neighborhood staples to a new generation reimagining what Filipino food can be, there’s a shared effort to bring more intention, creativity, and pride to the table—and to invite more people into it.

We’re proud to stand alongside everyone contributing to this moment. Take the time to explore and support the others featured as well. 🇵🇭✨

Thank you so much .lalocal!
