MALAYA

The Arcadia Malaya is a walk-up window on South First Avenue, which changes how the place works. You order at the glass and take it away. The rainbow-colored Filipino drinks are still the center of it, so the pandan matcha, the banana matcha and the strawberry matcha are all here exactly as they are in Silver Lake. What Arcadia added is a proper food menu. Spam breakfast sandwiches, a lumpia crunch burger built on a pork patty, and ube-pandan churros, none of which the original room does. That makes this the one to pick if the plan involves eating. We would take the lumpia crunch burger and a pandan matcha and find a bench.
