How Adobo finds way to Obama dinner table

From Global Nation

I suggest you read the article first before reading my love letter to White House Executive Chef Cristeta Pasia Comerford below.

Dear White House Executive Chef Cristeta Pasia Comerford,

I adore you. But when is Filipino food going to become as huge as the universe? When will the denizens of this planet include Filipino food in their choice of Italian, French, Japanese or Chinese (or Filipino, yes let’s do it) for dinner?  Or at least a to-go choice? Why is Filipino food not famous? Do you have any plans on world domination that includes feeding everyone with Filipino food and Filipino food alone?

I love syllabicating your title and name by the way. White House Executive Chef Cristeta Pasia Comerford. It sounds really awesome. White House Executive Chef Cristeta Pasia Comerford.

Love,

Seigfred

P.S.

Those people from Iron chef don’t know what they are missing for not making you an Iron Chef. Please kiss Morimoto for me.

You voted, we tallied: The Pinoy national dish is-‘sinigang’

From Inquirer Lifestyle

I have asked a lot of Filipinos this: If you die tomorrow what would you request for your last meal? I would mostly if not always get Sinigang as an answer. I myself would have Sinigang na Bangus (Milkfish in Sour Soup) to pass through my ventricles before my heart stops beating. I think almost everyone in the Philippines would have Sinigang after a nasty break-up.

As for the article itself, I thought Sinigang was the subject of the article. It actually did not say anything about Sinigang. You should have changed the article’s title to the said event. Anyway, thank you for a long list of advertisements in the guise of acknowledgements. I am listing it down because I will visit all of those restaurants. I will also learn how to fly tomorrow.
