Cooking and Eating Filipino Dishes...

Last Saturday 2 July, some Filipino friends in Haifa organized a potluck lunch gathering. Corinne Padilla prepared her specialty of "Nilagang Baka" (boiled beef), Daniel Estrada (we also call him Amang) cooked his delicious "Paksiw na Pata" (pork trotters cooked in vinegar), Arnold Laroya made the famous "Lumpia" (Chinese-style eggroll), and I cooked "Menudo" (a stew dish of diced pork, potatoes, carrots with fish sauce and sometimes with sausage or liver) together with Amang. Willi Remollo brought his delicious vegie salad too.
It was a nice, calm, happy lunch time. Some of the friends who joined us were Neva, Corinne Paguidopon, Canan, Kurt, Mrs. Ramirez, Isra, Ria (a Filipina Bahá’í from London cluster who's visiting), Alison (a Bahá’í from Portugal), Anjali, and George who came later. My dear Maarten was not able to join us, but I brought him food at home and he said he liked it!
