Several of you have asked "Why no food pics!?" Filipinos do have a unique cuisine - most of it has never been appealing to me. BUT - they do love their pork dishes - almost as much as I do! The top pic is Litson Baboy - suckling pig slowly cooked over an open charcoal file & literally chopped to pieces & served with a thick pepper/lime juice/bbq sauce. Delicious. The lower pic is Liempo - pork belly which is a thick slice of bacon with lots of fat cooked over a charcoal fire normally served with a soup and rice. And that's my favorite drink - a mango shake. A Litson Baboy dinner is rather expensive - about $6. The entire Liempo meal as shown is about $1.50
