Day 9/365: Friendship & food

P, H and me
Selfie with friends P and H. Glasses gang!

Tonight I went to dinner with a friend and ex-colleague (H) whom I haven't seen for a year and a half. We talked and laughed and we ate delicious Filipino food together. Not a half-bad way to spend an evening, and I got to introduce both of them to the joys of pancit and purple ice cream, which I'm pleased to report they thoroughly appreciated.

Mmmmm
Milkfish, tilapia and vegetables on a bed of rice, with extra vegetables and soup on the side. Plate of pancit as well, for sharing. So much yum. All eaten.

Now I really want Filipino food.

I am reminded that I was going to share this with you, following discussion of arroz caldo: 20-minute congee. The recipe is for Chinese-style congee, but the freezing technique should work for any sort of rice porridge. I've not tried it yet but plan to next week.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of that application — nice idea. Let me know how it goes! I finally got around to freezing some, and will be trying it out for breakfast tomorrow.

Bashed cucumber salad (拍黄瓜) is great with rice. (Chinese, not Filipino, but it's my favourite cucumber-with-rice thing so I thought worth mentioning.)
