Before Melissa and her team opened their first brick and mortar restaurant, supported by a successful kickstarter campaign, you’d have found Melissa at one of Musang’s pop-up brunch or dinner experiences serving up delicious Filipinx-inspired food dotted around Seattle. Melissa holds a real passion for bringing people together, wanting to help her community take up space and share stories of food and culture. Melissa continued to focus on community when Covid-19 hit, opening Musang’s Community Kitchen to help those in need.
