Giant pink rabbits

April 30, 2007

Insects in the Philippines are twice the size of insects in America. But you should see the rabbits. They’re huge, pink, and make great rabbit adobo. Growing up I wished I could be a super hero like Batman or She-ra. Instead I grew up to be Pink-rabbit-man. It’s worth it though, being able to hop… Read more.

How to eat at a buffet

April 24, 2007

No one eats at a buffet just to hang out or to visit the aquarium fish. Buffet customers come to commit the sin of gluttony.

Fly pinay boys!

April 21, 2007

There is a restaurant in San Francisco called Asia SF where you can enjoy both Asian fusion and gender fusion. They might as well call it “Pinay SF” because most of the “guyls” are super fabulous Filipinos/nas. I swear, some of the guys in there have better bodies than women I normally see, like at… Read more.

April 8, 2007

Inihaw na Pusit means Jessica Alba on a plate in Tagalog. Or grilled squid, depending on what part of “damn beautiful and delicious” you don’t understand.

Bangus sushi

April 7, 2007

I guess this is what they mean by “Asian fusion.” Bangus, salted duck egg, diced tomatoes, onions and rice, thrown in a roll of seaweed and then fried. They call it “Bangus Maki.” Why didn’t they call it Bangushi? I don’t know.

Would you like 1 eeg or 2?

April 5, 2007

There are 2 restaurants in America that serve a Filipino breakfast for $2.95 and both of them are on the same street and run by Chinese people. Which doesn’t surprise me because the best Chinese food I had were by Mexicans. One of them is called “Superstar” and the other is called “Gateway Kitchen.” There… Read more.
