At her Fenway outpost of modern Southeast Asian fare, Tiffani Faison is notable as one Western chef who isn’t afraid to wield the region’s funkier flavors. That makes for a singularly eye-opening experience at brunch, where Asian takes on egg dishes and pancakes are complemented by chili-hot, umami-packed plates like papaya salad and pad gra pow, in addition to hangover helpers like a staggering double-pork-patty burger. Throw in some cool tropical cocktails, and Sunday never seemed so sunny.
