I only miss Philippine veggies which is very expensive to buy here. I miss Pampanga's Best Tocino. I tried to make my own TOCINO thru Mama Cita's but it taste horrible.

Pinays and putis,just wondering what foods you miss in your adopted countries,and what you actually like?Whenever I am away I always miss a genuine cup of tea,and mashed potato,I had mashed potato in Pinas last week,sweet potato with a little generic "Butter",I appreciated the effort but it wasnt quite the same as King edwards with black pepper,Lurpak,and a little fresh milk :BouncyHappy:I know Pinays here always miss "Smelly-fish" :rolleyes:But what else tickles your tastebuds but you cant find here?And what do brits miss about UK food abroad?i miss the laing and the tilapya inihaw and fried and the mix vegetable like diningding and pakbit. and all cooked by coconut milk and of course rice.:):Brick:

Crispy Pata although on Friday we poped in to Jamies Favourite supermarket and they had a Precooked Roast pork. It reminded the Wife and I of Lechon. As it had been spit roasted rahter than baked in a oven as we normally do.

[aromulus]

Crispy Pata

We do that at home, on average once a month.....:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Jet is a marvellous cook, Adobo, pancit Canton, Lumpia Shangai, Sotangon, Lechon Kawale, Bulalo sopa (with oxtail), lately she's been dishing out banana cakes....:xxgrinning--00xx3:

It doesn't do much for my circumference but, hey, everything tastes good.....:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[charlwill]

I hardly miss anything cause here in Preston, I can get most of the Philippines stuff that I want. Even chicken feet, if I wanted to. The only thing that I can't get here is malonggay. Thanks to Ate Ping for telling me the substitute now I am enjoying more my tinolang manok with green papaya and wild racket(instead of malonngay or pepper leaves) and ginger.
I made my own Pandesal, Spanish Bread Rolls, Siopao, Embutido, Langgonisa,Puto and lots of filipino foods.

I dont mind frog as i love it to death. But it was funny when my hubby and I were there, told him try frog on his starter. And the frog that we have has stuffing on it ( not sure the name sounds like kabute :doh:icon_lol::icon_lol:)

I have had sawa and halo,fruit bats,and last year shot a lot of frogs one night with a .22 in a rice paddy,must have shot over 30 with a spotlight.When I was based in Hong Kong we used to buy frogs in wanchai market,the vendor would put the luckless amphibians in a soft mesh bag,put them on the chopping block,then smack them with the flat of a meat-clever to stun them before skinning the hind legs skilfully :yikes:
