They all look so good! I would love to try cooking a lot of them, but my husband is so picky, and he always says his taste is not as complicated as mine (meaning, he'd rather stick with his favorite, rather bland, simple dishes). So I am quite stuck with cooking same stuff over and over again, and my only excuse to venture more into cooking Pinoy dishes is during Filipino gatherings, and when I simply misses these food (but then I can't cook too much or I will end up eating them in the next few days!) Anyway, as a note to olive oil, the reason why it is so expensive in the Philippines is that it is imported. I don't know why Filipinos love glorifying anything imported, when we can have the best homemade, least unadulterated oils if we want to. Coconut oil is very superior over many oils, but why do we tend to shy away from it? We love using gata ng nyog for excellent flavor. What's wrong with coconut oil? Our regular cooking oil is only a more refined form of coconut oil. I just wish we Filipinos would be more proud of our culture and heritage when it comes to food. Look at the Italians who use olive oil. The cultures that stick to traditions usually are the healthier ones. Do not rely too much on America's standard of health. Even CDC is confused on how to go about the food pyramid. They change their standards as soon as there is a new health fad. But guess what? America has the largest stats on obesity and its related morbidities. I have a <a href="http://kusinanimanang.blogspot.com/2004/06/coconut-milk-and-coconut-oil-is-it_24.html" rel="nofollow">whole post in defense of coconut oil</a>. I even render my own <a href="http://kusinanimanang.blogspot.com/2004/12/pork-recipes-of-parts-unwanted-by_03.html" rel="nofollow">PORK LARD</a>, which is best for pie crusts (and I even used it for hopia). Philippines could be a major exporter of organic products, but if we are not even proud of our own produce, how can we compete globally? Thanks for the many Filipino classic recipes here.
