CULTURE
There is much to say about food in relation to
culture.
The picture that I would always wish to remember about Filipino food and culture is when I was still in my teen years and frequently visited these old villages in the province and found that most of them have really perfected
a fine art of preparing their food.
Well, at home we have modernized our kitchen culture a little bit, so I was really impressed with these filipinos in the villages. Aside from being clean in the way that they could, the food that they prepared were really delicious and
smells good. Not the way we see them today
though - especially the ones in the city.
I love street food - - - but not the ones being sold
along smoky, murky, smelly and 
dirty alleyways.
I have not been to Thailand, but wish to visit this great country one of these days. From what I have heard and seen on the photos, and basing on my experience with Thai friends here, they are really clean and proud of what they are doing - even hawking simple food on the streets.
Wish that Filipinos (selling food on the streets, at least) would also be like them. Just a wishful thinking!
