Must try - Sisig, drink a San Mig Light - it just works!

Lechon - nothing like fatty crispy roast pig!!! YUM!!!

The Mango and Bagoon is good - I sort of thought of it like Vegemite and toast. You just need a little bit, and as your acquire the taste for it, you put dip the mango a little deeper into the paste

Oh, and re Jolibee - don't forget to cmpliment the girl behind the counter on how good her English is.

Turn, wlak away, take 5 steps, then glimpse back and watch as she tells all her friends about how the english speaker complimented her on her English. Pricless - tlak about a warm fuzzy feeling!

Some of my hatchery staff in Oton, Iloilo were fishermen and when the little shrimp that they made bagoon with were running, they would skip work to go catch them with nets off the beach. (I'm not sure what shrimp it was but it wasn't Sugpo, or tiger shrimp) Then a few days later as you drive down the road and wonder what that dead shrimp smell is.....it's bagoon "cooking" as it dried in the sun. When you're fresh out of "Burger Land" USA, the smell of basically rotting flesh sends off alarm bells..."do not eat....do not eat", but....when in Rome.....

Jigo, street food like that is the kind of stuff I love! But I'm not too sure my fragile North American digestive system will take it! Sometimes, even if the food is of good quality, just the different microfauna present in a country is enough to give your innards a good jogging... And since street vendors aren't equiped as well as a good kitchen, that might be playing with fire... Then again, I'll have to take the plunge sometime and might as well test and see how it goes! i'll just have to make sure it's well cooked...

fragile north american digestive system?!?!?! yer from Quebec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fries, cheese, and gravy... ya, real fragile..


We eat from street vendors (warungs) all the time here, no problems, McDs seems to give the worst gastronomic problems.
