    i'd say it will be a between thai and chinese.
    i'd say he'd like more pinoy food
    kaso hindi ako marunong.
    i pretty much make up what i cook.

    hehe... Tinola is my husband's all time fave meal. He likes it a lot especially the boiled rice is soaked in the soup, I even use chicken wings because the meat is a lot tastier (lol, not very conventional way of cooking tinola)

    Salted eggs with tomatoes too...

    Thai food is well recognised as being one of the best cuisines in the world - but I am biased! My limited experience of Philippine food is that it is pleasant and hearty, but not distinctive or particularly special. My gf keeps promising to cook me spaghetti when we get married - so I am worried about the effect on my already huge waistline!

    Having said that, I know a lovely cafe near Wembley which is run by Philippine people and has wonderful food - but not really Pfilippine food.

    .



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
