Restuarant

Hey fellow adventurers! This week I’m going to be talking about food. With Thanksgiving coming up, there couldn’t be a more perfect week to talk about food. I’ll talk more about Filipino dining etiquette in a later post but when it comes to dining in a restaurant, it’s similar to dining at home. It’s important to wait for the oldest man at the table to begin eating before you dig in to your meal. At more informal restaurants, you might be forced to share a table with strangers. If this happens, act like you’re at a private table. Finally always summon wait staff with eye contact, never waving or calling at them since this is considered rude.

I went to a Filipino restaurant called Tita’s Kitchenette which is apparently one of the best places to get Filipino food in San Diego. I can see why people say that. Their food is AMAZING! I went there with my mother and husband so some of the food did contain meat.

First, we all had these Thai teas to drink and they were incredible!

My husband and I shared a green bean dish with rice. Those were the best green beans I’ve ever had in my life! I like green beans, but I LOVED this dish! Very well-seasoned.

We also shared fried shrimp. Very tasty!

While my mother had some sort of meat dish. Sorry, I don’t remember what it was, but she said it was superb!

She also had some meat filled lumpia which she loved.

And for dessert, we all shared suman sa lehia which was very interesting. It tasted like rice pudding but had the consistency of jello. I wouldn’t buy it again, but it wasn’t bad. It was paired with a very tasty peanut dipping sauce that we all loved.

Well that’s all for this post. Do you have a favorite dish to buy when you go to a Filipino restaurant? Let me know in the comment section below! Thanks so much for reading my blog! Until our next adventure!
