Kilawing? is kinilaw in Iloilo? We do have a variation of that here in Central America called ceviche, which is just the same as kinilaw but with no vinegar....and limes instead of the preferred calamansi.
Where did you eat? Tatoy's. Breakthrough? Ernings? mmmmm...all those places are great. How is the typhoon damage there?
ate at breakthrough... but i still get kilawin and kinilaw mixed up... someone told me some time back that they were different...
the raw fish in vinegar one? that's the best there is... add a little sinugba... mmmmmmmmmmm...
@jigo: wish i could bro... but you have to be there to get it hot... and in sinamak w/ toyo... and sili... and and and...
@hank: city proper and the breakthrough area you wouldn't think a storm had been there... some bent billboards but not much more...
the road from airport approaching the city proper (jaro?) showed some damage, lots of debris piled up along the sides of the roads, you can see where flash floods deposited layers of mud or washed away shanties and trees...
in the honda, ford and yamaha dealerships you can't tell the diff between a brand new unit and one that has been left to rot under the elements for a few years
but get this, and i take my hat off to the ilonggos, i was a bit apprehensive about being a gregarious host when there was potentially all these bumm-fudged people there w/ their homes washed away... i wasn't even expecting a decent turnout for the race - these people, after all, had more important concerns on their minds...
the runner target was 7,000....
7,300+ showed up at the starting line... all smiles... all pumped...
and a cheer dance squad from jaro 1 elementary took home the 1st prize trophy...
they hadn't had school since it all happened...
they rock! :god:
