Pinoys love food, Pinoys love cooking, I love cooking, I love to eat.
Pinoys pride themselves when it comes to cooking, they love cooking so much that on every occasion, they don't just cook food enough for their family, they prepare food enough for neighbors as well.
Some food are branded as unhealthy, like street foods (i.e. fishballs, kikiam, kwek kwek, betamax, balut, balun-balunan, adidas, ukoy, bituka etc.). Still these are loved by Filipinos... why? Because they taste gooooooooood.
I love cooking for my family, I love trying out new dishes. I often tell my wife to save recipes from magazines, the usual pasta, steaks, burgers I make...but most of them don't satisfy me like Pinoy cooking. I would rather have a piece of tuyo with rice than a slab of steak and mashed potatoes....no really...I would, because that tuyo tastes much better.
So when ever you are invited to a Filipino occasion? Better prepare yourself for a lot of food, and mouth watering desserts. Oh my the desserts, are to die for, I'm not kidding. Just look at these treats.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. When you do come to eat, always bring a plastic bag with you....NO it's not for barfing out too much food, it's for left-overs :) I'm sure you'll want some.
P.S.
Make sure to burn off those calories the next day okay.
