Best meal I ever ate:
My parents' chicken & pork adobo... when my father doesn't overdo it.
My current drink of choice:
Dirty Martini with LOTS of olives, before it became the "in" thing to drink.
I really wish I could:
Attend the CIA, Le Cordon Bleu, or apprentice to Jacques Pepin; preferably, all 3.
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
Beef lumpia, which is thinner and better than my mom's. Don't tell my mom!
My favorite comfort food:
Beef rib nilaga with green beans, cabbage, sans carrots.
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
So far that is every tiny, little hole in the wall in every country I have ever visited but did not get the translation of the restaurant name.
My most tattered cookbooks:
Favorite Filipino Dishes circa '85, Florence Lin's Chinese One-Dish Meals, Reader's Digest Secrets of Better Cooking, both circa 80's
