Are hybrids born of eccentricity or just prolonged exposure to South Texas sunshine? Witness this head-spinning marriage of non-kissing cousins: traditional Filipino and Mediterranean cuisines. Manny Pacquiáo might spring from the wall-mounted TVs for McArthur’s pancit, a noodle-bound comfort food thick with shrimp and fragrantly padded with basil. He could also get all up in the kebabs, which spear herb-roasted Cornish hen, beef, and veggies. Try the dense and ridiculously sweet cassava cake, a Filipino dessert elevating yucca and coconut to near narcotic levels and best savored with hot coffee.
