BAON KAINAN IS BACK AND IT BROUGHT BRUNCH


ETHAN AND GERI LEUNG RETURN FROM A LONG-OVERDUE WEDDING ANNIVERSARY BREAK WITH A
BRUNCH MENU AND NEW HOURS FOR THEIR POPULAR, UNCONVENTIONAL FILIPINO FOOD CART.

Baon Kainan's kare kare fries (Henry Cromett)

The Sept. 8 issue of WW contained a review of Baon Kainan, the hot new Filipino
food cart located in the Metalwood Salvage lot with Vietnamese soul-food cart
Matta. Baon Kainan has been stealing many a foodie heart with its braised beef
peanut stew kare kare fries.

Right as our paper hit stands, the couple who runs Baon Kainan—Ethan and Geri
Leung—let everyone following their Instagram know they were closing the cart for
two weeks to celebrate the anniversary of their wedding. Geri Leung told WW
that, since the couple was married during the pandemic last year, they’d only
been able to celebrate with immediate family—so they set aside their one-year
anniversary to have a bigger reception out of town.

But as of Thursday, Sept. 23, Baon Kainan is back and it now has brunch. The
cart just extended its hours to offer service on Saturday and Sunday, from 11 am
to 3 pm.





“We have a short brunch menu to start: biscuits and longanisa gravy, silog
(which is a Filipino breakfast plate), and people can choose between a grilled
spam silog plate or a pork belly tocino plate.” Geri Leung tells WW. “Each silog
plate comes with two eggs, garlic rice and a tomato and onion condiment. Tocino
is a cured, sweet and salty marinaded pork belly (pork belly isn’t traditional
but that’s how we’re doing it).”

Read the review: Filipino Cart Baon Kainan Isn’t Auntie Authentic, but Hits All
the Right Comfort Notes

Our critic Andrea Damewood raved about the cart’s unconventional approach to
Filipino cuisine, writing: “While there are a few stellar representations of
Filipino cooking around town, Baon Kainan’s casual and boundary-expanding take
on the classics fills a slot that’s gone unfilled in Portland (and likely the
Pacific Northwest). Get there early and often to see where these two take the
concept.”

EAT: Baon Kainan, 4311 NE Prescott St., baonkainan.com. 5-8 pm Thursday-Monday,
11 am-3 pm Saturday-Sunday.
