A gastronomic debate: How should ‘authentic’ pinakbet be cooked?

Lokalpedia founder John Sherwin Felix faces a cyber libel complaint after pointing out supposed errors in some of the regional recipes listed in the ‘Kayumanggi’ cookbook — among them pinakbet

RAPPLER

My client today is an immigrant woman from Bhutan. Her ancestral background is with the Sharchops, an Indo-Mongoloid peoples. Despite Sharchops being the largest ethnic group in Bhutan, they're marginalized due to the Dzongkha-speaking Bhutanese societal & government powers. She came to Canada in 1999, after marrying a Canadian man who she met while working in neighbouring India.

I made her some steamed ginger cod & steamed rice. Bought a dragonfruit. That's her lunch. She asked for a fish dish.

I'm learning more about Bhutan, from this wonderful client 😊 I don't really know too much about that country. I only know they're very eco conscious, excel in biodiversity & sustainable green policies.

I've been to several of these Thai restaurants, including top rated P.Thai Khao Mon Gai.

Verdict: Little Thailand in Del Valle is my hands-down favorite.

Everything on the menu is great, but their Boat Noodles is the absolute banger!!!

It has coconut milk and pig blood for richness, and (IMO) slays P.ThaiKMG's unpleasantly bitter version.

We just had the most satisfying dinner! 🍚✨ Fried rice with a perfectly runny egg, crisp cucumbers, and steamed okra on the side. Simple, delicious, and we cleared our plates completely! Sometimes the best meals are the uncomplicated ones that just hit the spot. Have you tried this combo?
