Growing up in Los Angeles, I only tasted the Filipino cooking of my family and relatives.
When I traveled to the Philippines in February, I found out how sweet the Filipinos like their food. My cousin liked to take us to the Mall of Asia in Manila and all of the various restaurants there all had a sweet take to all their dishes! Not that it was bad, but something different and I learned to appreciate it after out time there.
I did enjoy the Jollibee's fried chicken, we had it in Naga, Bicol. Our favorite place to go was Geewan. Yum!
