That looks like such comfort food! Funny how the drink doubles the cost of his breakfast.

J, where do you park there. That's one of the challenges I find there. N

In Filipino it’s called arrozcaldo (rice soup) and the fish looks like tuyo (salted herring). It’s a super salty fish which ppl like to dip a little piece of it in vinegar with chili & eat it with a load of rice to offset the saltiness. I remember my mom would make it for herself and my dad. I tried it but didn’t care for it until I was older and once in awhile I’ll buy it but fry it in a little oil outside the house because it will smell up your house for days.

i just walked by there Saturday morning. I wanted sinigang, pinakbet and ginataang but decided nah.
I was atually looking for a dried vegetable in the markets called yamakurage or gong choi but the only store that had it, seemed like it was old because was more brown than green so I'll just have to wait a few months hoping for fresher batch.

Izsmom, different, yah.

Aunty, LOL.

N, I don't go to Chinatown, but all my siblings do. I'll ask.

Susan, Wendell's been into making that fried anchovy lately, so I totally know what you mean about smelling up the house.

Chet, I'll tell him. Thanks for the tip.

V, I gotta google that yamakurage.

if your family eats the takowasa from Times and other poke places, it's the crunchy green vegetable (mountain grass?) in the takowasa (raw tako with wasabi.) I am able to eat a little of this but like lots more of the green stuff. It's a standard izakaya food in Japan, and some bars/izakaya have it here.
Found 1 Chinatown shop for $9.99 but cost about double that online for a 1# bag.

V, it doesn't look familiar to me. I wonder if I ever ate it.
