    I heard tell there's one in Kenilworth, well at least I heard there's one that's run by a Filipino, but I don't know for certain if they do Filipino food.

    I love pinoy cuisine I'm not sure how well a filipino restaurant would work here though, as 99% of the Chinese takeaways/restaurants don't really serve real Chinese food anyway.

    wonder if there's such a thing as authentic pinoy food.. as most of what we eat now are a fusion of spanish, chinese, and malay... just like our culture and tradition... would you mind telling us what is an example of an authentic pinoy food aside from the rice being cooked inside a kawayan like how the aetas did? just wondering....

    I didn't think the place in Earl's Court was too bad, yes the decor isn't great, but the food seemed alright.

    Irobot..." Sunny...Different From The Rest... "

    Hi There Peep`s...,

    Perhaps that is why all i ever saw was people on their way home from work buying bags of cooked rice,goat or chicken....blah blah...

    And if you visited they wanted Ice Cream,cooked Pork (or suckling pig ) and not forgetting the odd case of beer.... Phil

    We were in Joesphines during a nice sunny lunch time recently and for those who know fitzorovia area is a place where loads of young professionals go to eat with plenty of money. The street was heaving all the food places whatever budget were packed out.
    Any resturant, bar or cafe with seats outside were full.

    We turned up to early and wandered off and came back. We were shown to a table (the place was empty and the lady kind of wandered off. Then a bloke came along handed us some menus, as he said when the missus asked about the dinguagan its made for non phills (i think health n safety officers may also have a hand there) we ordered a selection of dishes. The food was ok. Two groups of diners looked at the menu one bloke came along and had a group who were to come along but from what i picked up some of the party were not keen and had stopped off at another eaterie.
    So we had the entire place to oursleves. With three tables outside remaining empty.

    The food was expensive (i was not worried as have paid far more in the same street) but anyone not used to the prices of the area (or claiming expenses many have set meals so people dont exceed their budget)for the quality of food would have been very angry. I know of at least 15 places including two budget sandwiches shops with in two streets which serve better food and value.

    Would i go again with the missus yes because she liked the food, but i think she would rather go to an asian/pinoy store or two and stock up on foods with the same money rather than one meal.

    Looking at one of the menus i think it would be very hard to take a Western or indeed Japanese group on a business meal to a typical pinoy resturant and ensure all were happy.
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    Thumbs up food at its best

    I have lived in the phils for a few years with my wife, i like alot of pinoy food, there is many outlets to choose from , from banoks , jolliebee , even Mc D and KFC have there own menus that differ from the UK you must try them while you are there,

    I know in some ealier posts that it has been menationed that at times the food slow to be served or it not warm enough, the best thing i always found when ordering do state you wish to have the food served hot (init) and then it will come to that way... as pinoys are used to eating things colder than us ppl from UK.

    If you go to the phils you must try spit pig or lechon as they call it there, that was one of my fav dishes, along with there beef steak special is a must,(but cant remeber the proper name they call it ill ask the mrs and get back to you), other fav foods places i loved were greenwich pizza which i thought was like are pizzahut here in Uk but it alot cheaper and alot taster hmmm yummy,,

    They also have kenny rodgers chicken places which isnt bad either and there chicken is very yummy,,, i know the above places isnt real pinoy home made dishes but i am just explaining to people the differnt types of places were u can eat in the phils..

    some restos in davao id recommend is harrana the spare ribs are amazing along with the milkfish, also there is a number of other restos nearby which are just awesome too, another fav of mine is cocos , and davao hilltop resto very nice, and if you want a nice drink go to bluepost were you can chill and play pool and have a drink and they also do food too,

    i actually think it is possible to have a mainstreamed pinoy restaurant.
    my partner's irish and it's not the taste that puts him off
    it's the preparation of the meats

    basically, that means walang buto at walang fat.
    so if you made kaldereta or nilaga and used meat cuts off the bone and without fat,
    he loves it. binagoongan goes down well too.

    the sour tasting dishes like sinigang and tinola are definitely for pinoy only.
    though you wonder why the thai tom yum is quite popular.

    as for the dried fish like dilis, tuyo, daing and the salted eggs
    - i think we'll keep the specialites to ourselves!

    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.
