Barkada

Modern Filipino restaurant Barkada has relocated and reopened at a brand new location in Central. While the restaurant’s new home may be smaller than its former location at Foco, Barkada 2.0’s menu takes on a new direction of ‘Filipino heart, New York edge’ to pay homage to its founder, Jen Balisi’s, heritage. Barkada’s contemporary Pinoy plates like spicy funky coconut noodles, sizzling sisig, and tuna kinilaw are still on the menu, but keep your eyes peeled for brand-new creations like siomai, a Filipino take on Hong Kong’s beloved siu mai, Filipino-inspired pizzas, and plenty more once the restaurant is fully up and running by mid-July.
