I see everyone enjoyed this thread, brought a few laughs amongst the lot of you, ok pinoy ako pinoy tayo, ipakita sa mundo what good cooks you can be...with your dried fish and your octupus and squid....you say yummy, we say yikes, and you leave your left overs in the fridge, while we leave our socks on the bathroom floor, you move out all our things from our wardrobe, and you put all your things back in it.

And yes girls we do shower twice a day, its not true that all foreigners smell, we know thats what you thought, cos thats what you were told.


There is give and take on both sides, that is why the 2 cultures work together...we love you really...so dont worry about your smelly fish cooking, we live with it...because we need you here...so dont mind us girls when we reklamo...please just laugh will you...and tell us..

SHUT UP BOBO !

its endearing....we love it.

in my case, i will welcome the filipino food into the home of me and mar because ... a) i love it b) it'll make her feel more at home
eating with hands - cool
fish taste and smell - cool
fish including eyes - cool
i love it all
and rice for breakfast - that's cool too

I like all the foods mentioned; the dried fish, vinegar, bagoong (especially barrio fiesta).
We went to Edinburgh last week and visited the Filipino store on Easter Rd.
They have a small cafe so we had the pusit adobo/ginataan. It was beautiful. Great atmosphere in this very friendly place.

When the first time I bring my fiance to a filipino Restaurant in Hong Kong,he likes all the food thats been serve, we had Krispy Pata, pancit or fried noodles, sinigang na hipon (Prawn with tamarind soup), spring rolls and etc. He ate them all, but it was funny coz he even ate the calamansi or local lemon on top of fried noodles.Imagine he put the whole calamansi into his mouth as he thought it will be eaten like that. Of course its bitter and sour and he asked me what was that, so I told him, its calamansi to squeeze into the noodles and we laugh out loud and that experienced always remembered everytime we go to filipino restaurants.

i really like filipino food but i havent faced anything really smelly yet,i liked my gfs moms cooking!

is balut the mashed up raw fish?
im not sure the thought of eating it put me off or because it was out in the midday sun?

I really don’t know why we Filipino really find dried fish “masarap”. My Darling, would even almost fall passing at the dried fish section at the grocery telling me “quick!quick!go!go!fast!fast! We are crossing that “stinks stuff again!. So, I just never bothered to cook when he is here. Just don’t want to give him headache. He really does when he smells.

Sea foods and squid appeals to me too but it doesn’t appeal to him eating a “rubber” he said. But he was not able to escape with a squid one time we ordered a “chopsuey”. He likes the looks of the vegetables, he likes the taste. But upon seeing the squids just set it aside on his plate and continue eating. But I was the one who enjoyed eating the squid most.
