I would cert...The entire meal was pretty damn good. I would certainly have Filipino food again...especially is Burdy (Marichelle) makes it. You find a way to make it mainstream and they will come. Well, I can't speak for everyone else but, at least your loyal fans will come. ;-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053253568499125837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887483054724929799.post-36986356854704204172007-12-15T08:37:00.000-05:002007-12-15T08:37:00.000-05:00Marichelle ... your passion for culinary bliss is ...Marichelle ... your passion for culinary bliss is so encouraging!

I'd say that except for a few dishes which have a lot of fish sauce in them, which does in fact give a different type of fish taste(the Kare Kare seemed to have a tiny bit of that fish taste), the vegetable dish with coconut cream and the pecan pie could really be mainstream (not NMacDonald mainstream but 'take away' material mainstream. I think. Calabaza, Okra and shrimp have a pretty smooth and western friendly taste. That dish was very flavorful, with a great texture and filling but not too heavy. I'd say in-between Thai and Indian food. Also the cream / sauce did great with rice. And I personally totally love dishes with Okra. I would put okra in everything if I could.<BR/>The kare kare was my first Oxtail dish I believe and the peanut butter sauce was excellent. I wonder if it's the same peanut butter than the one you put on wonderbread??<BR/>The pecan pie was totally delicious and I am not too much into deserts but the dulce de leche is my favorite and it goes surprisingly well with pecans.<BR/>Overall, after the diner was done, I still couldn't answer in my head why Filipino restaurants are not everywhere. The dishes are very tasty, not too heavy, and don't have a taste that's too weird for a western palate. Perhaps they just are too complicated to make or the world lacks of good Filipino cooks with entrepreneurial spirit.
