Since moving to sunny, southern Nevada ten years ago; one of my greatest pleasures has been meeting and befriending Filipinos. I work in the healthcare industry, which especially in Las Vegas, is chock full of Filipinos. I found myself dining with my Filipino co-workers, at first, at Thai restaurants.
Eventually, they wooed me into the many Filipino restaurants and I was hooked. At lunch, we generally hit one the
many, many restaurants on Maryland Parkway. The food has always been delicious, the portions huge and prices rock-bottom. The only non-fast food restaurant I've tried is
Salo-Salo. Quite often, I'm the only non-Filipino dining. I'm especially fond of adobo chicken, but I truly can't remember-don't know the names of most of the foods I've eaten.
Recently, Seafood City opened on Maryland Parkway. Inside the grocery are two new Filipino restaurants:
Chow King and
Jollibees. On opening day, it took one hour to order and receive our lunch. It seemed that every Filipino, in town, was there.
My Tokyo friend says he knows of only one Filipino restaurant, in Tokyo. Can this be true? Are there Filipino restaurants where you live?
