Kamay Kainan at MarketMarket
We keep coming back to this restaurant. Its not good and its not bad. Somewhere along the lines of, gee, I wonder if there is something interesting to eat there today. Okay, let me now refer to this restaurant as another 'default restaurant'.
When we go grocery shop and find ourselves wondering what to buy, coming up with a grocery list and inspiration sometimes could be a chore. So, step right in, try some of the dishes. If anything resonates, aha! Then, you now have an idea on how to make a better version of this, or a similar version of that.
On this occasion, we had Dan with us for his very first Filipino meal in the Philippines. After knowing Dan for the last 11 years, I do know that his adventurous soul would not hesitate to try the familiar or the weird. Not that I would be surprise if he starts eating bitter melon (I know quite a few Filipinos themselves who would stay away from this Vit. C rich vegetable). I saw him enjoy escargo in coconut cream sauce, mussels with chili leaves, pineapple, grilled pork belly, pork adobo and eggrolls. Fairly tame, if you ask me. But, for his first day in the Philippines, he's got a whole lot more to venture upon.
We are taking him to Soderno on Saturday. That would be a place where he can try some new Filipino food. New, as in, new, even to the Filipinos. Till then, balut (or boiled 14 day old duck embryo egg) will have to wait.
