Hi All,

As some of you may or may not know i am visiting Judith very soon, only 12 days&#33; Her parents are going to cook me a meal and i have been asked what i like etc.

So basically HELP&#33; Being a complete novice to Filipino food i have not got a clue what to ask for. Obviuosly i would like to eat a Filipino dish but on the other hand i dont want to be served a meal that i cannot eat and upset the inlaws&#33;

I like many foods but can someone suggest some dishes to get my mind thinking?

Many thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

As long as you like rice, build it up from there&#33; Are there any particular foods that you don&#39;t want? I guess a safe bet would be to suggest white fish, vegetables? What area of Phil is Judith from? Do they have any specialities that you could google about?

Hi Ivor and Mel,

Judith comes from Binan, Laguna. I like rice and i am a lover of chinese food, i am not to keen on squid, muscles, shrimps that type of thing, vegetables is ok, i like brocoli etc.

I,m not sure about local dishes i will have to ask Judith. Reading previous posts i am scared to ask for meat just in case its Dog&#33;

Maybe a kind of egg fried rice with vegetables and white fish?

Sounds a safe option [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Just make sure you emphasize no seafood&#33; Mel&#39;s mother cooked for me, and I asked for just white fish and veg and it was fine - and I&#39;m a very choosy eater&#33; Just play safe with the first meal: I&#39;m sure there will be other opportunites to be more daring, should you wish to do so [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
