Comments on: La Mesa Philippine Cuisine At Dee Why http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/04/21/la-mesa-philippine-cuisine-at-dee-why/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

We just had the Filipino fiesta in Fairfield last Sunday! You must attend it next year...food stalls galore-fish balls, halo-halo, bbq sticks... the lot! Just like being in the Philippines but the travel time won't be as long or as expensive!:0) So glad you have tried Filipino food Lorraine! We just had the Filipino fiesta in Fairfield last Sunday!

You've eaten in a Filo restaurant too? :) very impressive. I'm a filipino myself. I do admit that it's all about meat, meat, meat! when it comes to most filipino dishes. It's a mixture of spanish, chinese, malaysian etc. Halo-halo is a popular dessert- especially during the summertime here for filipino parties!. The word 'halo' means 'mix'. Referring to the mixture of ingredients in it and also, most people eat it by mixing all the ingredients first with a spoon. I think there's also a filo restaurant somewhere in Lidcombe. And you can eat....and sing! (Ahhh karaoke....besides eating- another favourite Filipino pastime :D) x Oh wow! You’ve eaten in a Filo restaurant too? :) very impressive. I’m a filipino myself.

Can be bought at Oriental groceries so you can make halo-halo on hot summer days!
