    Your missing out mate... I used to have it for Breakfast in Cebu. It is puff pastry that is thinly sliced, sweetened and baked until it is like a biscuit, the end result is a very crumbly biscuit..

    Otop, excellent stuff, even the village size boxes from Cebu Airport never last very long.

    For me, my favourite Filipino food is Pork Chicharon with a little dish of Chili Vinegar for dipping.

    I need to add green mango shakes to my earlier post.

    My wife's mom cooks for one of the Remulla families. She cooks very well. But my wife didn't inherit her culinary skills. I am not keen on fatty pork or fatty bacon and certainly dont like dried fish. Also I am not so keen on fried foods and a few of the "soupy" sinigangs that I have had. But I do like my wife's Pancit Canton and Pancit Bihon though it seems rather like a chinese dish or two that I have had in the past.

    I wouldn't go hungry in the Philippines as I love fruit.

    Go to fridge. Fry whatever rubbish is left in there. Put Magic Sarap on it.

    Yuna - in 1996 I took a job in Beijing with a big Chinese company.

    For the first few months, the various Party Secretaries thought it would be a great laugh to invite the foreigner to dinner, get him to eat stuff he would not like and get him drunk.

    Since the British can generally hold their liquor better than the Chinese, and I had been tipped off about the toasting routines, the second objective failed completely, but in consequence of NOT being drunk enough, I unfortunately do remember much of what I ate.

    Trust me, balut, penoy and adidas hold no terrors for one who has eaten deep fried scorpion, sea cucumber, steamed chicken's feet, live crayfish sashimi, loads of snake and parts of animals that you really don't want to know about!

    But do I find balut and adidas , as my four year old stepson would say, "delicion" - no, not really...
