Thanks Kevin

I heard the chef mention babinkas when we were dicussing the lumpias.  Is the magnolia brand ice cream any thing radically different or is it an just an ice cream base infused with mango puree and maybe chopped mangos?

What does Sarap mean?  is it a shortened version of Saran Wrap ha ha ha?  

Aww come on the ants are good for you  I have a whole book on Mankind eating bugs all around the world even the USA.  there is a companay in California that creates lollypops around dead insects  I bought 2 of them when I was in San Francisco  they were a great gag gift  one was a cricket and the other was a millipede.  I finally gave them to my brother the plant Scientist so he could have fun at work.

I bought a roll with red bean curd in Little tokyo a couple of weeks ago but I lost it in the mess I call an apartment.    I found it back a couple of days ago   I took it out of its bag cracked it open for a look. Still mold free but I didn't have the fortitude to try it.  It was only one of maybe 3 actual Japanese items that they sold at that bakery.

You've mentioned goldilocks to me before  do they have a web site?  

I am sorry for pleading ignorance here  but I have never even seen a Filipino restaurant in my travels before.  All we have in Santa Barbara  / Ventura that I have seen so far are Chinese, Japanese, and Thai restaurants.  No vietnamese or Korean restaurants either.

Fried bananas on sticks are also a popular Pinoy snack.  My ex-mother in-law used to come home from working at her dress shop in the afternoon, and give me a bunch of fresh, hot, fried bananas on sticks.  While fresh and hot, they were delicious.  But before I could finish eating them, they'd cool off, and as I was eating them, become increasingly difficult to swallow and heavy on my stomach.

Uh oh!  I didn't notice the difference anyway!

I don't know what your sense of humor is, but if you want a good laugh, please go back into the archives to about July 3, 2000.  I have a post called, "An Utot Story".

You got rgg's post right, Kevin....he meant what you and the rest of the guys enjoy the most.....LOL.

"Camote"  not only makes the sound sweeter and longer but adds a certain  "essence" as well.

Yuck!!!...lol...look at what you guys have made me say.  LOL

I thought YOU were the MASTER of the FARTy.   *S*

Maybe, I should go back to the archives and read up on those posts.  *wink*

And....if i remember correctly,  you are also a master of filipino foods...and therefore,  I am guessing that you have proven for a fact what I have said....lol.

you know so much of filipino foods.  *S*

Goldilock's is indeed a part of any filipino's life just like Jollibee and SM  (for retail store).  *S*

Kevin  

Fried bananas on a stick - that sounds pretty good  were they battered like a Corn dog  or maybe like a tempura batter?  I like to cut a banana in half sprinkle some sugar on it and take the blowtorch to it to caramelize it.  You've got to wait a minute for the sugar to cool or it will burn you bad  but it does taste good warm  not bad cold either though.

About 10 years ago I saw a little blip on tv about a 1 mile micro climate that was condusive to growing bananas in California.  I thought hey thats pretty cool.  Now low and behold I am living right in that area  and I have banana trees right outside my balcony.  They dont yield fruit but  I did see a house down the street right next to where the banana farm was that is yeilding the fruit.  I even took pictures  they are about 3 - 4 inches long still green and yes they grow upside down (an issue I had a losing aruement with a professor almost 20 years ago ha ha ha  see I can admit it when I am wrong and I am not even afraid of occasionally asking directions  ha ha ha).  Apparently the Banana farm had a mud slide that put them out of business. maybe I will walk over there to see if there are any trees left.
