Although the menu at this pan-Asian Ditmas Park restaurant is awash with deep-fried items, they’re generally accompanied by plenty of fresh or pickled veggies and tropical fruit. So that means they’re also kind of good for you, right? Take the Filipino spring rolls called lumpia, filled with cabbage, carrot and jicama and served with sweet-sour pineapple sauce, the watermelon radish kimchi fried rice, and the Lechon Kawali, deep fried pork belly paired with pickled papaya. All of which, incidentally, go down particularly well with a variety of refreshing, soju-based cocktails.
