I'm going to recommend Filipino food: chicken afritada, beef kaldereta, pork adobo, and sinigang. (I strongly recommend substituting salmon from Alaska or northwest Canada in lieu of the pork in the sinigang.) Paxciw (use fresh fish or frozen fillets from the grocery store) is also good too. Also, leche flan and cassava cake, when made properly, are to die for.

Seriously, this stuff is good. Just make sure you serve with steamed jasmine rice (not the American stuff). You may need a rice steamer. Oh, and you can try steaming slices of sweet potato on the rice. It's delicious too.

Now that my fellow Freepers have made me think of food, and especially since I haven't had dinner tonight, and I'm remembering my mom's tasty cooking (sigh).

Oh yeah, you can also buy Mama Sita mixes at Asian or oriental grocery stores to help speed things up.
