The coffee, batch-brewed from specialty Filipino beans, arrives in a custom-made stoneware mug resembling a smiling pomeranian. You’re instantly charmed. It’s one of several happy surprises emerging from Taguan’s small Filipino kitchen: breakfast burgers hum brighter with the sweet warmth of banana ketchup; toasties turn memorable with velvety slow-cooked beef; and chicken adobo, from a family recipe, is the impossibly tender, tart centrepiece of it all.
Good to know: The ube matcha might be the most expensive drink, but it’s worth every dollar.
