I eat everything. Its like a mantra that has fuel me to try anything once. As long as it looks good and smells heavenly, count me in. Here I am in the Philippines. I do have a guideline in my head of what to eat and what not to eat which is applicable anywhere around the world.
YES, EAT IT!
- cost less than what you would get in your country
- just cooked (especially for fried food)
- everyone is eating it*
- the person who is selling is super cute
- recommended by Lonely Planet
- halal/kosher**
or
NO, STAY AWAY!
- cost more than your budget can afford
- even the locals do not eat it
- purple in colour
- anything fast food
- dirty
- smells bad (except for durian)
*general rule- need not apply if you think it is unnecessary
**for the Muslims and Jews of the world
Yesterday I tried the
Chicharrón.

| Best eaten with vinegar |
It usually refers to fried pork rinds but I had the chicken skin version. I have always love eating chicken skin but to munch on it all day long is heaven for me. We had it after lunch at a warong-style place. The aunty who cooked it recommended vinegar as a dip. I am so glad we stumble on the little shop along Olive Street in Marikina City
