Filipino food, the grim, the ok and the fab

[Thai Pom]

The Jamaican Patties are great

[sabang]

And I do eat pineapple with salt.

Same here. It's quite commonly served with salt and dried chilli in Thailand.
Much better than serving it with refined sugar anyhow.

[forreachingme]

SISIG is a common bar food (pulutan) going along with a beer...

Served on a sizzling hot plate, it is mainly the greasy skin of the pork head

[forreachingme]

PAPAITAN is another disgusting intestine and scrap meat recipe

[sabang]

We just put our 'disgusting' offal in things like sausages, pies etc and presto, it's not 'disgusting' any more.

Isaan pig guts salad is not part of my diet, but quite popular with the yokels.

[MANICHAEAN]

The usual nonsense from misskit. Balut are fine, just swallow them baby! I normally add a dash of fish sauce & have it with a San Miguel beer. In the provinces where I live, it is also not uncommon to eat: dog & bush rat.

There are also many excellent & more conventional dishes like: milk fish, tilapia, lechon, & kari-kari (utilizing the heart of the banana)

Still waiting for the fab

Well that would be the kinilaw as mentioned in the other topic

And I do eat pineapple with salt.

Is that cos you have been in the Philippines for a long time and are accustomed to the salty food, or you ate it like that in other countries incl your home pad

I've had dog in Kalinga and i didn't suffer from a bout of food poisoning like i did in Cambodia

Funny, there food is shit but there woman are hot little fukers.

Something has to come out of the pines I suppose.

Any particular reason my comment is "the usual nonsense" and not the men's who think balut is nasty?

You seem to be the only one who thinks it is nice.

Well, my 1st time i ate one was in 2006 with my ex, ate it with the lights off, all was going well till the last mouthful, something was going on in my head, like if you were a kid with an apple and you occidentally had a pip in your mouth with your apple, you just couldn't swallow it. Same for this last piece, it was a leg or wing bone. I kept swallowing it, and it came up again, 3 times it failed to go down.

Thankfully, sweaty brow and 5 mins later, i had a nice San mig in my hand. I vowed never again.

I certainly wouldnt try it when drunk, although a little bit tipsy gives you Dutch courage. Very drunk could make you gag.

In the end, its just a steamed egg with a bit of feather here and there.

[alwarner]

the food sounds disgusting.

apart from kinilaw,which sounds like raw fish - which is disgusting.

the biscuits and milk and fanta (from another thread) sounds worse than that.

can these people at least bbq a chicken???

[sabang]

can these people at least bbq a chicken???

Very well indeed, The fried chicken can be very good too.

[Stinky]

can these people at least bbq a chicken???

Yes they can grill a mean chicken and baby pig, the pig is really good.

Fancy some fat cooked in fat?

[Stinky]

Yes that's a goodun

[bobo746]

I've never been crook eating filo food,plus you can wash it down with san mig which is extreamly good beer.

[Davis Knowlton]

Wujou: First started eating fruit with salt whan I lived in LOS, prior to moving to the PI.

[terry57]

Don't sound too flash if one has a cholesterol problem, is there a reason they don't have great food like Thailand. ?

[Davis Knowlton]

^It's strange. They have all of the same basic ingredients. Guess they just can't cook. And they all have high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

[bobo746]

^ Do you go for the green mangos & salt DK ??

[terry57]

They all have high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Its know wonder considering all the animal fat they consume, fuk that for a joke, the shit in that wok looks like a score of dogs arseholes.

[Davis Knowlton]

^^Yep. With a bit of Thai chili mixed in. Pick the green mangoes right from the garden.

[ceburat]

Balut is the most disgusting food ever.

[WujouMao]

^ Do you go for the green mangos & salt DK ??

i always thought it was sugar in the bag. Its been such a long time i cant remember. Anyhow i went back to Malapascua again this year for my birthday and there was this French guy up at Sunspalsh tasting the green mango with salt. He didnt seem to like it, but the girls did.

I asked them if they had any red chilli and sugar. Mixed up some, and gave that to the french guy. He commented on it being rather hot, but tasted better than the salt.

I had been going from Manila, downwards through S.Luzon, Leyte and Mindanao stopping off in most towns and searching for Halal food as 1: no pork so no fat. 2, lots of veg or fruit and 3, spicy.

The Bicol region of Luzon was naturally spicy in most food, [still wasn't Thai flavoured spicy but it was better than nowt]. Wasnt till i got to CDO i fell in love with Kinilaw.

Tried to find Kinilaw in cebu, which i did, but it was made of pork!!!. uncooked pork, you are fucking kidding me.

Anyhow, if you're in Manila and you want spicy food, hop over to the Golden Mosque. There's lots of Muslim restaurants there and by god they are spicy. And cheap too.

[MANICHAEAN]

On the drinks front I like the local "Tanduray" rum, but have abstained from the local gin as there is a dearth of tonic except in Manila. The "Red Horse" beer, much too strong.

Bicol food is more spicy/hot than elsewhere, especially the "Bicol Express." Mind you they say the same regards Bicol ladies!
