There are stuff to miss about home. The authentic lechon, that is really bad for health. Laswa and the KBL dish that are so full of life. I could scour London for balunggay (notice I used the Ilonggo term) or balatong (another Ilonggo term). Waking at the wee hours of the morning to shop at the market, pick up live chicken and suman latik at the stalls were moments to cherish. The classy bingka or bibingka in Tagalog is now designed to be savoured by the sophisticated palate according to Echoes. Suman Latik or the other mouth-watering, saccharine Inday-inday should be in the same elegant category at least. But both are just too messy to eat. No Reservations' episode about Philippine food made me hungry and yes, it’s true, as a people, in cultural and culinary terms, we’re at best, regionalistic.
