Maharlika Filipino Moderno

Maharlika Filipino Moderno is providing a new take on the underdog of Asian cuisine. The New York restaurant, based in the East Village, has been drawing attention for its nostalgic decor, classic dishes and re-interpretation of authentic Filipino tastes. Executive chef Miguel Trinidad describes to Crane.tv the ideas behind some of their signature dishes, while general manager Nicole Ponseca explains her theory on why Filipino food hasn't yet achieved the global recognition of its Asian neighbours. www.maharlikanyc.com
