Uncle Ando has informed her sister that he would like to try dining at Dampa which he has heard from people. Uncle Ando has a bucket list of places to see before returning back home. Mom Violy was thinking of just bringing Uncle Ando to the places she is familiar where she has eaten before with her family and friends visiting the Philippines. Uncle Ando spoke to his relatives he hasn't seen for a long time. The relatives asked what he would like to eat so they can meet and have a meal together. The relative said we'll meet at  Dampa sa Libis  on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at 12 noon. Mom Violy had scheduled a driver and informed Carmina about it. Upon entering to Dampa sa Libis was a big parking lot when entering in the driveway walking outside you will see some fresh seafood and fruits. The entrance is on the righthand side where you will see dining those who would like to eat outside with a cover and electric fan.  Dampa sa Libis also provide airconditioned rooms to those...

Exotic Filipino Food

There was one time I was visiting the Philippines for vacation. One person was offering me to eat rice porridge with chicken feet. 

I remember my parents always told me when you are visiting some one's house and they offer you food. You really need to accept and eat their food.

For some reason I couldn't accept the food because I was shock to see a chicken feet soak in a bowl filled with rice soup in it. 

I just said, I was full.

Sometimes they also cook it adobo chicken feet.

Just to warn you it is best to ask the person you attend a birthday party what the dishes are made of some times they serve goat in their food. They call it kambing in the Philippines. Once you hear that word you know what that is.

They cook it as kaldareta, adobo or sinapalukang soup.

Kambing (goat) Kalderata

My father in-law loves eating it and you see the head floating in the bowl. Oh my. I can't even seat down at the same table seeing a head of a goat in a bowl. 

Do you eat escargo (snail)? Here in the Philippines they call it kuhol. It is cooked in gata (coconut milk) or adobo.

I may be Filipino, but I don't eat all their food. There are more food selection to choose from. Are you brave enough to try it when you come and visit?

This is another exotic food that Filipino dare for the Foreigners to try. Some people are only brave to eat this when they are drunk. 

They call it balut it is an cooked egg and there is a chick inside with a hard yellow egg inside. 


You would eat this in one eating and swallow this all up. They put salt on it just how you eat an hard boiled egg.

I remember  when my niece and nephew came to the house and their Grand father wanted them to try it. I made up a story that the chick inside is an alien and it had a white helmet.

They went to tell their Grand father about it when they we're ask to eat it.

At first the Grand father didn't understand what they we're replying too.

Later he understood and laughed at them.

In Pampanga a restaurant in Every body's Cafe my Father in-law loves eating betute (frog legs). It is cooked in variety dishes such as tinola, grilled, kare kare and adobo.

He loves all these other insects and tapang kalabaw (buffalo)
