The pies my wife make aren't the "American Pie" style, but they are still tasty :) Philippines has some of the best food in the world though, right?

You would hope so but Thailand it is not, if you like plain boiled rice with soggy pork then you you would love it here:)
A friend of mine makes adobo, which is awesome and I think it comes from the Philippines.
Yeah, Thailand might win :)
Adobo is good, I also like a bit of hummba which is similar generally chunks of pork belly in a soy and wait for it cola sauce and for me here is the major problem, filipinos have a very sweet tooth for me a spoiler in what could be nice dishes. The main issue is there is little variety so for a short holiday you could eat a few local dishes and come away thinking the food was OK. The basis of most dishes is stodgy plain rice and pork which gets a bit boring. I was talking to a friend of mine from the UK about this earlier in the year, he thought I was being a bit harsh but when I said how many filipino restaurants do you know he was stuck for a answer. In any big town In the UK you would find representation from all corners of the globe but as yet iv'e never come across a filipino eatery. All that said I can find some great Thai, Malay and Vietnamese restaurants here and i'm a pretty good cook myself. For me anyhow this is out weighed by the country as a whole, generally really nice people stunning scenery and great weather ignoring the odd typhoon. Stay safe
Come to think of it, I don't think there is a Filipino restaurant here either.... :)
These days, I guess in most countries it is possible to get a range of restaurants. I think the food in Australia was brilliant because of so many cultures influencing the blend - Finnish food sucks ass for the most part.
The people make the biggest difference to any meal anyway. I am from the tropics - Typhoons are fine. ;D
