Kim's Bowl

Bicol


Open-air Kim's is a classic Filipino garden restaurant where big plates of crispy pata (pork knuckle) are shared among friends, along with bulalo (a rich beef and marrow stew), Bicol exprés (a fiery pork dish), kare-kare (meat cooked in peanut sauce) and lechón kawali (deep-fried pork belly). Seafood and chicken dishes are also a hit. Beer available.
