Mom Violy's Birthday Lunch at Mamou, Gateway 2

Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster.

Filipino Dishes Serve Not Only in the Philippines


Coming from the Philippines and entering back to California my family will always ask what I want to eat from there. I would always tell them anything except Filipino food because I eat it every day at home.

Even though you visit your family their favorite meal is always Filipino dishes made by someone they ordered for one week supply.

There are some families who work hard to support their families and no time to cook a healthy meal. Other families find ways to feed their children who come home from school, work and so on they tend to pack meals ahead of time. The only thing their family needs to do is warm it up when they come home.

Living in the States it becomes more efficient to find ways to eat a meal and not have to worry what your family will eat when you are not at home.

I get stuck eating Filipino food because I am living with my family and I have no choice to eat what is served at the table.

My sister and her family members love buying food from different restaurant other than Filipino food and they don’t like eating leftover. This is where I come I eat what food they no longer want to eat this way I can run away from eating their Filipino dishes.

My niece and nephew would request my mom to cook pork spare ribs sinigang, chicken adobo, calderata, chicken tinola, grilled eggplant with slice tomato, onion and salted egg and sopas.

My niece and nephew would request for my lazy sushi and Filipino spaghetti.

My mom and I always go to Ranch 99, Seafood Market or any super market to buy ingredients for the Filipino and Japanese dishes to be cooked for our family.

Sometimes they have friends come over to eat at the house to eat the dishes we have cooked at home.

It is a great achievement when everyone tells you what a great cook you are. This way everyone is happy and you gain nothing but compliments from them.

No matter where you live people love Filipino food and it doesn't necessary mean only Filipino people are eating it too all nationality around the world that won't miss out on our cooking.

I remember my dad brought my son and me to Jollibee to buy at Union City, California. I saw so many Filipinos and it felt like my second home the Philippines.
