Mom Violy wanted to eat crispy pata and pinakbet from Seafood Island Restaurant located in Cubao, Quezon City near the old Shopwise. We had arrived early being the first customers waiting for the restaurant to open. Few minutes later customers began entering the restaurant and we have already placed our order. Mom Violy ordered her crispy pata and pinakbet. Carmina ordered garlic butter shrimp since I don't eat crispy pata. Family member ordered calamari and shrimp fried rice. Everyone had a taste of our meals with leftovers to bring home. Watch my video Running Errands in the Philippines . NOT SPONSORED.

There was one time I was visiting the Philippines for vacation. One person was offering me to eat rice porridge with chicken feet.
I remember my parents always told me when you are visiting some one's house and they offer you food. You really need to accept and eat their food.
For some reason I couldn't accept the food because I was shock to see a chicken feet soak in a bowl filled with rice soup in it.
I just said, I was full.
Sometimes they also cook it adobo chicken feet.
Just to warn you it is best to ask the person you attend a birthday party what the dishes are made of some times they serve goat in their food. They call it kambing in the Philippines. Once you hear that word you know what that is.
They cook it as kaldareta, adobo or sinapalukang soup.
My father in-law loves eating it and you see the head floating in the bowl. Oh my. I can't even seat down at the same table seeing a head of a goat in a bowl.
Do you eat escargo (snail)? Here in the Philippines they call it kuhol. It is cooked in gata (coconut milk) or adobo.
I may be Filipino, but I don't eat all their food. There are more food selection to choose from. Are you brave enough to try it when you come and visit?
This is another exotic food that Filipino dare for the Foreigners to try. Some people are only brave to eat this when they are drunk.
They call it balut it is an cooked egg and there is a chick inside with a hard yellow egg inside.

You would eat this in one eating and swallow this all up. They put salt on it just how you eat an hard boiled egg.
I remember when my niece and nephew came to the house and their Grand father wanted them to try it. I made up a story that the chick inside is an alien and it had a white helmet.
They went to tell their Grand father about it when they we're ask to eat it.
At first the Grand father didn't understand what they we're replying too.
Later he understood and laughed at them.
In Pampanga a restaurant in Every body's Cafe my Father in-law loves eating betute (frog legs). It is cooked in variety dishes such as tinola, grilled, kare kare and adobo.
He loves all these other insects and tapang kalabaw (buffalo)
