nice

you know my husband when he was here in Phils he already likes eating rice and more of filipiino foods for him it's delicious and heavy :P Ii told him when the time comes that i'll be with him tere hopefully wahhhhh he will have to eat the same dishes as me :P

brokenpieces,

he's wife is Pinay too....from the visayas.
if u adapt western style food u will get used to the food in here. it's just the typical british food in w/c u will learn in the future. it's nice to try their food as well as it's so easy compared to our filipino way of preparing & cooking. we always fry our garlic, tomatoes & onion before putting the meat & the rest of the ingredient. We don't overcooked our veges too. U will learn more about this things when u are here so I will leave it up to u

myself & my husband loves cooking. my husband tries tasting filipino food as he cannot say no to my mum so he will just taste it. the reason is our food is mostly oily, greasy & heavy & he easily got stomach upset (& i missed our foods lols). But he loves Lechon, mangoes & banana (tundan). He's been in the Philippines for 12 times w/in 3 years successively. I cooked Pinoy foods here but the taste is different. Hubby says it's the water plus the meat is different (it's due to their feeds). there are some items that we cannot find here especially our tropical fruits. Slurp! He loves my monggos (mung bean, dry noodle, chicken sotanghon & Cebu's humba (pork adobo).

hope u enjoy watching the video coz that's the only thing that i do if I crave for some can't wait to read your future posts that u already arrive in the UK so that fil-uk forum members can welcome u here.

Its nice to hear that your english hushband liketo eat filipino food. I struggle sometime how to modernize my local way of cooking because my hushband thought our food is a bit boring and he feels oblige to eat so not to upset his wife haha. He does'nt like smelly fish and meat with bones but he eat chicken wings.

Hi Mret77,

That's what my husband said the first time he came over to Cebu. Until his 12x visits in 3 years he started to taste a few. But only loves lechon. In the UK we have an english set up until I got preggy & crave for Pinoy foods, as if he got no choice but to eat what I cook lols & he likes it & I am glad. He must be paranoid a bit bcoz he easily get stomach upset everytime he tries our food in Pinas. Must be due to water & our weather.

[Maria B]
