It’s crazy how simple char siu restaurants can get multiple Michelin stars, while for Filipino food it has to be unrecognizably bougie before it can get a star? If you have budget to fly to the Philippines, you should try Toyo Eatery in Makati. They also serve amazing multiple course Filipino meals featuring locally sourced ingredients.

Michelin stars are not about the menu or the variety. It’s more about the quality and consistency of preparation and of course, the flavor and taste. The more selection you have in your menu, the more things you will be judged on so it’s actually more difficult to win a star that way.

Name a street food stall in Manila worthy of a Michelin star. The street food scene in places like Singapore or Bangkok are on a far higher and more complex level than Manila that's why you don't see "simple" Manila or Filipino restaurants get Michelin stars.

@@azcontent I would love traditional filipino restaurants to have more acknowledgement in the industry. Although, the reality is that it's taking a long time to get there so if a fusion can act as a gateway to attract higher status then they're a doing a great job of doing it since people would be more curious about it. Also, it would help actual genuine filipino restaurants or even be curious enough to travel to Philippines to taste genuine filipino food and maybe then a michelin to a legit filipino restaurant. I also said it's a great introduction to filipino dishes. If you look at their breakfast menu, there is still essence of filipino dishes. And the dinner is filipino inspired so theyre not making a false advertisement. Plus some filipino dishes are a fusion of either chinese/spanish/mexican/american so if they're using french style to elevate the flavour while keeping the core ingredients would, what's the difference? it's called evolution.

I’m Filipino and I work here. I’m seeing some comments about how people might get the wrong idea of traditional Filipino food from this or this isn't traditional Filipino food. I want to clear things up. Kasama does a fine dining, Filipino inspired tasting menu. They even say it on the website when you try to reserve a table for dinner. What that means is that each course you get should remind you of a traditional Filipino dish. Is it truly “traditional,” no, but it is an interpretation of Filipino food in a fine dining setting. If you are a Filipino trying the dinner menu don’t expect it to be like your family’s home cooking. Try and experience Filipino food in a new way. Don’t compare it to something you used to growing up with, the Michelin star shows that this restaurant is something you can’t experience any where else in the world and is worth the trip. If you are also Filipino, then you should be proud that there is a restaurant out there that is trying to showcase Filipino food in a more elevated setting, this is amazing for us! On a side note if you have to try the place go in the morning when Kasma runs as a cafe. The traditional savory dishes are amazing and the pastries are to top tier. I don’t know when he was at Kasama recording this but Kasama also won “Best Pastry Program” in Chicago so they earned 2 amazing awards this year alone.

I’m glad that there’s a Filipino Michelin-star restaurant but honestly, the dishes are basically Filipino dish-inspired rather than Filipino. I wonder if they taste anything like the original dishes. Thanks for featuring the restaurant kasama. Good to know. Maybe if I ever visit Chicago again, I would put it on my list of places to visit.

Honestly just to hear him describe the food and how it was presented was very extravagant and every bit of gourmet. However I'm sorry for whoever's going to read this comment, but I swear to God it look nothing more than a Japanese Filipino fusion. With heavy on the Japanese. I praise them to get a Michelin star, cuz it's very difficult to get one, however I did not see Filipino food here.

I know this is a Filipino restaurant but I couldn’t recognize the food at all just by looking at them. 😅 Maybe that’s the reason why they got their Michelin star, by changing the food appearance but retaining that Filipino taste.

Yeah, a lot of michelin starred restaurants are like that - I would think they emphasize more on creativity and reimagining traditional dishes and retaining the essence of the dish but of course that is relative to everyone’s preference. If anything I’m just proud I guess, looks cool although definitely not traditional :)

Let them be honest that it's Filipino Fusion Food. Their food selections don't look similar or familiar to many traditional Filipino dishes so they seem unrecognizable to us. Ordinary Filipinos would never get to eat at such a fancy and expensive restaurant, however. The bigger problem is, those Westerners lucky enough to eat there will get a different idea or a misconception of what Filipino food is like and then they will have a big let-down when they finally travel to the Philippines or eat at a normal Filipino restaurant abroad.

Agree! While I am happy that we finally have a Michelin star Filipino restaurant, I hope going forward more true Filipino food gets recognized by Michelin as well so ppl really understand the flavors of our food. It annoys me sometimes when Filipino food is boxed under 1 cultural category by the West. They need to understand the influences in our food cannot be defined by just Asian.
