The Special Filipino Dinner Was A Gastronomic Delight

Special Filipino Dinner Celebrating Filipino-American History Month (FAHM) here at THD 

Notice the Miniature Philippine Flag planted on the Sweet Rice Cake top with Chocolate

Wednesday Night Special Filipino Dinner was a Gastronomic Delight. The Lumpia served was Shanghai ( small version of the typical classic lumpia), but was delicious. The Beef Sinigang was great (although if I am cooking for a pure Filipino palate, I would add a little more souring agent -Tamarind sauce),  The chicken adobo was perfectly-cooked. Again, If I am cooking for a Pure Filipino Palate, I want more a vinegary-taste. However, because THD is 99.9% non-Filipino, the dish was perfect. Note that I am the only Filipino-American resident here at THD ( Total current residents in the 4 buildings is 150) . The icing to the cake and my Food Winner for the evening was the Biko (Sweet Rice Cake) top with a small chunk of Chocolate with the miniature Philippine Flag ( see Photo above). 

Kudos to Joel ( pronounced Who Well, not Joe Well) and His industrious Kitchen Crew, as well Carmen's and Emilia efficient and Patient Servers. Special mention to Our Dinner Server-Martha. Last, but not least to THD management to make this a Repeat Event during the Month of October.     

 I took some photos as follows:         

The Lumpia with the Sauce-This is a basic Lumpia. It is also known as Lumpiang Shanghai. The filling is composed of ground pork along with minced onions, carrots, seasonings, and egg.

Another THD Personel News: I heard Kristi Lucero quit her job today. If this is true the curse of Rapid Employee turnover is raging and has not been broken.
