The Filipino Feast!

Lengua - it looked good with mushrooms and onions in a sauce over meat. It was after I ate most of it that Carla asked if I liked it. She said it's usually eaten on a special occasion. Then I learned the meat was tongue. Never did figure out what animal's tongue. Hmmm.

Sinigang na Baboy - a delicious soup with gabi (similar to potato) pork etc. Tasty. This is one of Carla's favorite dishes.

The feast - all of the dishes came with their own serving utensils in their own little trays.

Bibingka or Salty egg - with shaved coconut - a sweet cakey treat. With egg. And Salt.

Puto bongbong - this was a huge treat. Carla says she usually eats it at Christmas. These purple rolls were very chewy and delicious - I liked them with the Coconut - also served with dark brown sugar. We were too full to eat it all so we have leftovers for later.

An adventurours fancy Filipina meal.

Also - learned that it's silly to call a business between 12 and 1:30 - businesses close for lunch. Good for them!
