The last time I went back to Manila in 2004, Fusion food was all the rage. Fusion Filipino and French (Eh??), Filipino and Thai (Hmmm, yeah, I suppose), Filipino and Mexican (That sounds like the makings of an upset stomach!), Filipino and...you get my drift. I don't know about you, but for me, I would go to a Thai restaurant because I want to eat Thai food - and not an amalgamation of cuisines. I have an innate hatred for anything fusion. So imagine my anger when, while perusing the menu of my favourite noodle bar Tampopo, I come across our national dish, adobo, bastardised beyond belief to include a variety of veggies and served with sweet potato chips! WHAT THE ?!?!? It's a crime, I tell you! I suddenly lost my appetite.
