Bella Poarch tries Filipino food in NYC at Naks in the East Village while opening up about her debut album Picnic at the Cemetery. From crispy lumpia to a full-on Filipino breakfast (tocino, garlic fried rice and egg) and ube dessert, Bella breaks down why Filipino cuisine is her ultimate comfort food and how it connects to her memories, family, and creativity.
