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