Kaya Toast
CassiaSanta Monica·$$$
$14.50
Toasted brioche with coconut jam, butter, and a slow-cooked egg.
Tip: Don't be shy with the egg. Dip the toast deep into the yolk and jam mixture for the full experience.

Buko Pie
Sari Sari StoreDowntown·$$
$9.50
Traditional Filipino coconut pie with a flaky crust and young coconut filling.
Tip: This is one of the best versions of Buko Pie in LA. It sells out fast, so if you're a fan, order your slice when you order your main.

Turmeric Mussels
Saffy'sEast Hollywood·$$$
$28.00
Mussels steamed in a bright turmeric and coconut milk broth with chili.
Tip: Ask for a spoon. You'll want to finish every drop of the turmeric broth once the mussels are gone.
