My pops always looks at avocados on tacos funny. He always tells me in the Philippines all we use
avocados for are milk shakes. I guess we even managed to turn avocados into something unhealthy lol.

Bro, avocado, white sugar, and milk lol.
I remember my dad made that for me and I was amazed lol

Avocado shakes are pretty damn good. Haven't had one in years.

Dated a Filipina girl years ago, enjoyed all the Ube. Till this day, I still get some from Red Ribbon when I pass by.

yo I’ve heard of this brand of ube ice cream. Aren’t the owner(s) not even Pinoy? I’ve yet to try it but I really want to. I’m taking Magnolia over TJ for commercially available Ube ice cream though.
I like this spot in LA called WanderlustCreamery. They make a Ube Malted Crunch ice cream and it’s .

Mitchell's is not Filipino owned. (Although maybe they married into one.) Alot of the workers there are filipino.
Need to try that Wanderlust tho....

I had carabao milk candy for the first time in 2016 when I visited Cagayan. That candy is crack.

A friend of mine told me to try vegan empanada, said it was bomb. In my head I’m like wtf that sounds terrible..







turns out she meant Vigan empanada, as in empanada from Vigan which has slightly different filling and is orange.

Speaking of Filipino food. Am I one of the few that can't eat a Filipino dish every day of the week? Since moving with my in-laws, I've grown tired of Filipino food quick.
