Being Filipino myself, I'm glad more people are interested in the cuisine. Did you guys have sinigang? It's my favorite comfort food.<br /><br />By the way, from checking out your posts, I noticed you like orchids... have you ever seen the endemic hawaiian types? There are 3 species and they are not very showy, but they are native.<br /><br />You should come to O'ahu and I can show you all the native plants!Sebastian Marquezhttp://studiamirabilium.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413996043953201770.post-72175069269002104482010-06-01T17:21:41.155-10:002010-06-01T17:21:41.155-10:00Hi Noel, nice meeting you with those photos!

I am glad the Filipinos can still do the fiesta wherever they are, and it not only serves as bonding and socializing time but also to share the beauty and exquisite taste of our dishes. <br /><br />I remember when i happened to be in UH Manoa during the Independence Day, the Filipino group of students made native foods for the guest speaker, who was then a Dept Sec of Tourism. However, nobody knows how to cook 'salabat' to go with 'turon', so i helped them do the salabat, and it was very appreciated by their guests. They said a guest also prepared it. I was so glad to have contributed for the community. More power to your group there, take care.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413996043953201770.post-33956092063493445102010-05-27T23:33:21.820-10:002010-05-27T23:33:21.820-10:00A fun event with food and orchids.
