Sorry, but most of the restaurants there....the food there is nasty.. unappealing for sure... too oily, bland seasoning.
btw..your example of Kare Kare?... 1. it's not pork or fish as you clain. 2. almost every cuisine has an oxtail stew.. thatss not a great example.
but not every filipino dish is a "reinvention" of another cultures dish....but really...there are many foods that are borrowed from other cultures.
Makes me wonder if you guys have really eaten a good amount of Filipino food.
that's your family's restaurant? That's cool man you guys got some good food. I haven't been there in a minute but last time I didgo it was good. Mom didn't feel like cooking so we decided to go there haha.Originally Posted by XX3forever
Really though, other than Adobo and Lumpia people always ask hit me with "What do Filipino people eat other than Adobo and Lumpia?" I just think most people don't really know about it more than anything...
PS: Bay Area Heads (510) hit up Sampaguita in Alameda for your Filipino food needs. (haha yes shameless plug for my family's restaurant)

In addition, we're not business-minded enough. Filipinos are raised to be nurses or engineers, and if they can't, they get a government or military profession.
The only Filipinos in the United States that I can think of that are really making it are the founders of Crooks & Castles and some club promoters.
but that's what I mean. When you order pho or sushi, the only thing that needs to be done is the specific meats and vegetables the customerordered, then voila... you're done.Originally Posted by swyftdahoe

It's not like Pho or Sushi, where they can be prepared in a short time span.
If there were a Filipino restaurant, the menu has to be 'watered-down'
What? That couldn't be further from the truth. Pho takes forever to make but yes, they make a huge batch and just leave the soup boiling for the whole day. Sushi ain't exactly fast to make either. They just prepare a lot ahead of time.
In any case, are there any really watered-down Filipino dishes? I mean, that's a good thing! You can't go mainstream if you're gonna go hardcore authentic. A person new to the cuisine just isn't going to eat that kinda stuff. Anyways, I'm Asian and white-washed as hell. I can only eat the noob dishes for all the Asian cuisines.. whether it be Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, etc..

Dude I've been driving all the way to King Sisig or whatever in Serramonte for Filipino food. And I live in Oakland.
I'm gonna check it out, but if your moms does me dirty and doesn't hook me up when I order the tosilog, I'm gonna put you on blast.

For Filipino food, each dish is completely different using different types of meat sometimes, sauces, soups and vegetables, so it's going to be hard have a filipino sit-in restauran that simply makes a huge batch and let it sit there.
The only Filipino spots in my city are those that already give you a selection as they are already made and is just being heated - kind of like the chinese joints in the mall food courts.
