When Pinoys get together, there are three things that are consistent in those gatherings - regardless of location. This is true even in foreign soil: karaoke, inuman (imbibing alcohol), and food.
Lots and lots of food.
To wit:
 |
| pansit bihon chock-full of sahog |
 |
| sweet pork barbecue |
 |
| calderobo - the bastard (and yummy) child of adobo and caldereta |
 |
| lumpiang Shanghai - na wala naman sa Shanghai |
There was also sinigang na ulo ng salmon at hipon. Or maybe I should have written HIPON. Do you agree?
 |
| Major major hipon! The orange thing, not the girl in white =P |
There were also not-so-Pinoy stuff but I have no complaints. Everything was awesome!
 |
| apple and raisin crumble - so good! |
 |
| grape tomato, basil, mozarella, and prosciutto bites - I had five of these. Not sorry! |
I also stuffed my face with five servings of my favorite Thai dessert: khao niew ma muang!
 |
| mango with sticky rice: sweet, salty, sticky, juicy, and extremely satisfying |
I am SO glad I have six more days here in Bangkok. I will attack street food next... if only going out didn't mean getting wet and having to wash out chalk from my hair!
