Asian$$
Filipino is the eighth most spoken language in Australia, so it’s surprising we’re not more au fait with the food and culture. Those not in the know can consider a meal at homely Sizzling Fillo part tutorial. Most diners are regulars, and their quiet banter creates a warm soundtrack. Pork dishes feature heavily including pata: chunky fried pork trotters ready for dipping in a light vinegar-soy sauce. Sisig arrives sizzling with cubes of pig’s head meat and onion, with a raw egg cracked on top. Choose chicken or pork versions of the Philippines’ unofficial national dish, adobo, and end with rich leche flan.
