As well as having vibrant and wonderful people the Philippines also has amazing food. As we stopped by “The power plant” an upscale mall in Manila we had a quick Filipino lunch. The top picture is escargot and the bottom is the Philippines specific cuisine kare-kare. I was told by my friend Louie that it probably was first created in an attempt to copy the Curry of the Indian Sepoys using local Filipino ingredients. No one knows exactly where kare-kare came from but no matter what it is delicious!
