THE FOOD

What Filipino food is can be debated endlessly depending on which region of the Philippines one comes from. For example, our national dish, the adobo, can either be dry or saucy. Here at Kumare, we serve both. This rich variety is what Kumare strives to achieve.

 

WHAT IS “KUMARE”?

Among Filipinos, kumare, is what women call a close female friend or kumpare among males, sometimes cut short as mare or pare. The term is derived from the Spanish word, comadre or compadre.

 

WHY THE BIRD?

Here at Kumare, customers rarely come alone but like a flock of birds, not only as families but more so as kumares and kumpares, to celebrate or simply to share such strong bonds of friendship and togetherness.
