Husband-and-wife chefs Tim Flores and Genie Kwon have gifted diners with Kasama, which means "together" in Tagalog. Popularizing Filipino food is an important part of their vision and the result is an ambitious, clever and distinct meal. Traditional Filipino food is given a creative spin in such items as sinigang, or salmon dressed with a tamarind beurre blanc and topped with smoked roe over a bed of melting leeks; kare kare, a dish of lamb belly with a peanut "curry;" and an elegant take on "halo-halo" combining Asian pear granita, pandan ice cream and freeze-dried mandarin.The design is clear upon entry—an impressively equipped kitchen framed by a counter where diners watch the action unfold. Banquettes tucked under the windows make for plush seats.
