Roosevelt Ave area in Flushing, NY has some good Filipino restaurants.
I loved the food at Perlas ng Silangan. http://www.perlasnewyork.com/default.htm
I would love info on Filipino restaurants in St Paul.

a very mild whitefish often eaten for breakfast
bagoong = fermented dried shrimp paste
Would anyone have SF area filipino food recommendations? I only know of a great ihaw ihaw place in Daly City called, appropriately enough, Fil-Am Cuisine. Probably the best pork liempo I've had outside of Phils...

My old-school favorite (for pork sinigang and the silog dishes) is Sinugba on Gellert Blvd. in Daly City.
Also, there have been a group of restaurants popping up lately on the Peninsula that have a modern flair to them. What I mean by that is the upscale decor and menu are not unlike what one would encounter in someplace like Greenbelt Mall in Makati. The result is good quality food that attempts to reach out to the non-Filipino clientele (a good thing).
A few that I've tried include:
- Patio Filipino - http://patiofilipino.com (my personal favorite of the batch)
- Tribu Grill - http://tribugrill.com
- Kuya's - http://www.kuyas-ac.com
- Bistro Luneta - http://www.bistroluneta.com
Unfortunately, I'd be hard-pressed to recommend a good one in the South Bay. Most of them are the buffet/steam table type that aren't that good (Goldilocks inlcuded).

Austin places
I found the restaurants in AUS interesting:
Mang Dedoy's - on Anderson Mill in North Austin in a small strip mall. I called ahead to find out their hours for dinner. What they did that evening was take phone orders, and it would be ready by the time I arrived to sit down at eat. I tell you, eating a freshly cooked bangus and chicken adobo was a treat on this biz trip
Gammad - on Parmer and MoPac, across the street from Fry's Electronics. This place was truly a mom-pop place, the store front being the front of their house, the kids doing their homework at one of the tables. It was the usual steam trays, though they also cook stuff on request.
Jegimajo, http://www.jegimajo.net - on E. Oltorf in South Austin. Steam-tray style place with a mini-grocery store. Haven't eaten here; but it's the closest place to the office to get pearl teas and shakes. Different tropical flavors like ube, pandan, langka, or avocado. The drinks themselves are a little sweet for my taste, so I've taken to asking for more crushed ice.

Hmm! I might have to go out and try some!
One of my employees is Filipino and has given me large portions of the adobo and other dishes she and her girlfriend (who works next door) cook and bring for lunch. It's quite tasty.
I know of two Filipino restaurants in Anchorage. I drive by one regularly (Angeline's, on Minnesota near Spenard), but she said that one's not all that good. She told me about another one downtown that's much better...but alas, I can't remember the name of it now, and she's actually back home in the Philippines for the next few weeks. When she gets back, I'll have to ask her where it is and check it out.
I must confess that before this year (when she started feeding me every so often), I never knew what Filipino cuisine was. After eating her stuff and now reading this thread, I have to say that it sounds like I might take a big liking to it!

Dried Filipino mangoes...
One of the very most delicious snack foods on the planet.
Drooool...
(A good Filipino brand bag of dried mangoes will make the kind you get at supermarkets and health food stores taste like a bunch of dried twigs and autumn leaves)
Just remembered - we found a HUGE 1kg bag in the village of Haliburton, Ontario at Christmas (we've only seen small packets in London) and caned them. They lasted 3 days tops.

Bringing back an old thread...
Yes, I used to buy them at my Costco all the time, but unfortunately, I haven't seen them for months. They taste exactly the same as the dried mangos in the Philippines (surely because they're imported from there).
I'll be in Manila in November...can't wait for my Grandmother's cooking. This thread has made me verrrry hungry.
