At his new vibrant spot on Rutledge, chef-owner Nikko Cagalanan continues to deliver comforting Filipino dishes, serving bold, family-style plates meant for sharing—don’t miss the arroz caldo, a rice porridge thick with trout roe and fish sauce umami. Creative cocktails play nicely against rich coconut milk braises and Southeast Asian–leaning specials. Modern in look but rooted in tradition (especially during Sunday’s kamayan feast), Kultura adds welcome depth to the downtown dining scene.
