Other Foods!!!
See My Link L Other Foods for pics
Now that you’re very interested in Balut or maybe you’re not, you’re probably wondering what other kinds of food could I have if I traveled there.
Well, there are you McDonalds and Jolibee (the filipino McDonalds), KFC is popular here, Kenny Rogers fried chicken is also huge. There’s tons of Japanese, Chinese and Korean restaurants in the most traveled places. But why travel half way around the world for Hamburgers.
So, some of the local fares that I’ve had was mostly fresh seafood. Grilled, pan-fried or placed in soups. Seafood like squid, shrimps, prawns, Tuna, all sorts of other fishes. And of course the Lechon! Squid I’ve had raw (Kinilaw ng pusit) with onions, celery,vinigar and grilled and in soup, same as shrimps and prawns. Most of the fish I had were grilled. Of course a cup or two of rice accompanies each dish. Usually all these fresh seafood cost around 7-8 dollars with a bottle of San Miguel. Can’t beat that.
Instead of explaining the foods, why don’t I just let the picutres describe them. One of the best reasons to come here are the fresh seafood and the Mango tango shake! Ah, the variety of fruits! That’s for another time.
Until next time, bahala na…………….

That’s it Jaime!
I can’t stand this no more. All those nice beaches, luscious lechon, exotic seafood and temperate and breezy weather! We’re retiring sooner than earlier planned, and will start living there, in paradise. (j.k. . .)
But kidding aside, the big 2R is coming. And we’ll definitely try out the life there. Count on it!

Dad, you’ll love it!!!
Anyway, I’m heading home. It’s just past 6pm and I’ll be packing all night. Plane leaves at 7:50am and it will be about 30+ travel time. Jiggs and Maria has all pertinent info. I’ll call when I get home.
