MAHARLIKAFILIPINOMODERNO

Maharlika started out with a big dream and bigger heart: introduce Filipino food and bold flavors toa wider audience beyond the coveted Filipino kitchens of our lolas (grandmothers) and yayas (caretakers). And just like our immigrant parents taught us: we can do anything with hard work, perseverance and determination.

The vision is Nicole Ponseca and the food is Miguel Trinidad, and since 2011, our whole team has shared their love of Filipino food and spirit to anyone who cared.

The menu focuses on classic and treasured flavors and can run from truly authentic to inspired. Service is family-like, without pretense, much like dining at someone's home.

Jeepney Filipino Gastropub is Nicole Ponseca’s and Miguel Trinidad's second restaurant and brother to Maharlika Filipino Moderno. It’s named after the "Jeepney", the WWII jeeps left behind by US occupation. Filipinos took the left-over jeeps chopped them up and tricked them out, creating a vibe, a mode of transport and a symbol that is uniquely Filipino. That is the essence of being of Jeepney and being Filipino – it’s a vibe, a mode, and a symbol of uniqueness.

Husband and wife team Samuel and Carmen Sta. Maria opened Mama Fina’s in Elmwood Park over 13 years ago, specializing in sisig, a traditional Filipino chopped fried pork dish. The original Mama Fina’s offers not only pork sisig but also chicken, tofu, tuna, milkfish and squid variations on the classic to appeal to people who don’t eat pork.

The NYC location offers a very similar menu with all the same sisig variations and sizzling dishes that are the restaurant’s specialty. Breakfast plates with garlic fried rice and eggs are available all day as well Filipino-style spaghetti, crispy pork belly, and crispy short ribs.

Dishes unique to the NYC location are the pork sisig sliders, which come with fries, and the “pulled pork with crunch,” a shredded pork sandwich served on a brioche bun topped with crunchy pork skins.

Owner Ray Luna purposely designed the shop as an homage to his grandmother—the matriarch who was a constant fixture in the kitchen. The aroma of her food wafted from the oven and filled the entire house, prompting the family to gather back in the kitchen as they sat and enjoyed a meal together. Mountain Province's homey decor, furniture, and overall ambience are all a throwback and a tribute to Grandma and her fierce yet warm spirit.

But the fact that expats are making pilgrimages to this Bed-Stuy spot is a tribute to chef Aniceto Reña Jr. and his menu, which is as affordable as it is refined (nothing costs more than $12). That adobo involves chicken thighs cooked in duck fat, its traditional surfeit of vinegar absorbed into the savory rice it’s served with. Bicol Express, another classic, applies the standard coconut curry to sous-vide pork belly. And Reña Jr., who previously worked at Cosme, suffuses cocoa rice with mole spices and treats it as a base for house-smoked mackerel. The dishes are compostable, the drinks come in cans, and the focus seems decidedly on delivery, but from the very first biodegradable-bamboo forkful of food, there’s no mistaking the talent in the kitchen and the finesse on the plate.

The guy working the counter of this unassuming, mostly takeout Filipino joint warns anyone who orders the adobo that it’s not the traditional brothy chicken dish, so as to avoid disappointing Pinoys expecting an unvarnished taste of home.
