The Filipinos’ response to fast food:
Jollibee beckons!
ChickenJoy, great even coloring, crunchy coating and juicy inside… the kids loved it! Remember, though, that you can also make great fried chicken at home.
Halo-halo

Last week after a day in Carlsbad we went to Zarlito’s, one of the Filipino restaurants reviewed at Kirk’s awesome San Diego (and beyond) food blog…

Aisa’s longsilog
My 10-yo’s Crispy Pata
My 8-yo’s Bistek

The packages say “all-natural”, but I’ve been eyeing them with suspicion ever since they were given by a well-meaning friend. I just don’t trust colorful powders all that much. So they’ve been sitting here for at least two years, and I finally decided I should either use them or throw them away. […]

Pork hocks, simmer ’til tender (but not falling apart) in water, bay leaves, aromatics like onions, carrots and celery if you like, a few peppercorns, just a bit of salt. Drain, and allow to somewhat dry overnight in the refrigerator, on a colander or rack for maximum air circulation. Deep-fry or oven-roast on […]
