Like any other Asian country where cuisine is highly dictated by region, and authenticity depends on which family it was passed down from, Thai food has also opened up to interpretation in recent years, especially now that it has become familiar fare, even in Western countries.
Whenever I’m asked which nation’s cuisine is my favorite, I always reply that, being Asian, I like Oriental food best. Not only does this get me off the hook from seeming to play favorites, but it’s also the truth.
Since I missed the first two charity dinners called “Open Kitchen” at Nomama Restaurant, I made sure I attended this month’s. It featured guest chefs JJ Yulo and Namee Jorolan.
My best friends Myleen and Colleen Huenefeld were restaurateurs in Madrid, as far back as I can remember. They got the knack for it from their parents, Tito Charles and Tita Andita, who was a super cook.
One of the questions most often asked of me is, “What is your favorite food?” Without thinking twice, I always reply, “Foei gras!” (Panfried goose or duck liver).
