Pagkaing Pinoy na hindi mo inakalang pwede palang i-level up sa sara at presentation. Medyo pricey nga lang lalo yung kwek-kwek pero okay na okay na eating experience. Total ng bill namin ay 1500+ para sa apat na tao.
Kusina Moderne is now my favorite Filipino fusion restaurant! Everything we had was absolutely perfect for a lunch date.
We started it off with the Mechado Tacos, which in our first bite, blew us off right away. The beef was so tender, and the red onions and sour cream complemented the whole dish. Who would’ve thought to put a Filipino staple inside a taco? Yum!
Next we had the Adobong Manok and Tuna Belly with Chimichurri for our ulam. Partnered with sides of their adobo and aligue rice, these two dishes really hit the spot. To finish it off, we had a slice of their Cheesecake Flan for dessert which was the absolute winner for our quick lunch. Inspired by leche flan, it was served with crushed Marie biscuits (everyone’s childhood favorite), mango bits, whipped cream, and walnuts; a dessert I’ll be thinking about as I go back to work in the afternoon.
As compared to authentic Filipino food everything we had was very light in the stomach; flavorful yet balanced. And we really felt all dishes were well thought of. Other than that, the dishes were beautifully plated, service was superb, and price is super worth it. Kusina Moderne is a Poblacion gem! Will definitely go back and try their different dishes. ✨💕
Basing on the name itself, Kusina Moderne is basically a restaurant serving modern, reinvented Filipino recipes that will surely take you down memory lane and tickle your taste for something new. . Mechado Tacos P195. My official, first food for the day was the mechado taco and I was immediately mind-blown. That soft and tender braised beef mechado was more flavorful than I expected. It had a nice play of sweet and salty flavors that later on combined so beautifully with a bit of calamansi juice. I also loved that it had a fried wanton for a taco shell as it was thin and crispy and it highlighted the flavor of the filling. It's definitely a must-try!
