I think their food isn't great either. Chinese, Thai, or even Indonesian food is more interesting and more tasty as well.
2. Great roasted pork.
Well it's been thirty years since I was in the P.I. last, but I fondly remember the cuisine in Olongapo, Subic City and Manila.
My favorites were the roast pig, pancit bihon, which was kinda like dog adobo over rice noodles, and of course a nice tasty balut for a late night snack....just watch out for the feathers.
