Fried Silet!!! Masarap at Mabuhay!! Really Crisp and get bituka too.

I'm not eating those in English OR in Filipino.

Seriously scriv, the bituka is even better.

Fried crispy chopped up pig ear dipped in shoyu/vinegar/chili pepper water/whatever you like!

Man. There aren't enough Os in GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSS to describe some of the food being discussed here. Yes, I'm ignorant, but not TOTALLY ignorant. I have eaten at some of the places mentioned recently, and...I confess that I'm just not open-minded enough to get into it.

I consider it a failing on my part. But also on an ENTIRE CULTURE'S part!

And this is my hearty chuckle for the day at first I read "Os" as Operating System!

What a Filipino thread back there! But I think this should be a separate thread.

I've never liked Filipino food ... and I feel guilty about that, because I think it's my fault for not trying. The first time I remember eating Filipino food was at a wedding a long, long time ago. It was extremely greasy, and cold, and inedible. It took me a long time to try it again. And it still didn't satisfy. When Golden Coin opened at the Walmart superblock, it was one of the first places I tired. I was so turned off by the service, I never went back. The only thing Filipino I ever liked was lumpia (but who doesn't like lumpia?).

I'm Okinawan, but 20%-30% of my relatives are Filipino, so I am not a stranger to this culture. I may be wrong, but I think in Hawaii, Filipino cuisine is either very good or very bad ... and I've only had the very bad.

Today's lunch was a plate from Panda Express: fried rice, orange chicken and mandarin chicken. The hubby and I shared it and then shared a Cinnabon for dessert!

There's a big pot of home-made chicken and noodle soup simmering on the stove. With carrot, onion, leek, roasted leftover chicken, garlic, herbs, and a little piece of ginger in it. There's a fresh baguette and some sweet butter waiting on the table.
