Ever since Scott was old enough for solid foods, I have always cooked for him. I remember his first solid food was baked salmon with creamy leek mashed potatoes. I cooked a batch and froze them in little pots.
In all honesty I don't think I had any intentions of getting him used to Filipino food since I hardly ever cook them for me and James doesn't like Pinoy foods one little bit. I suppose one of the days I'd miss home, I would cook my favourite Pork Sinigang just to ease my longing for home. It must have been then when both Scott and I discovered his keen taste for Pinoy foods. I remember assuming that he only liked the pork stewed in tamarind because he really has a strong preference towards citrus-y and tarty food. There is another food he really loves: fish. One time I thought, what would he make of paksiw na tilapia? (Fish stewed in ginger and vinegar). To my surprise, he liked it and ate a whole tilapia, de-boned of course!
Bistek, nilaga, adobo, tinola, tortang giniling and boneless tinapang bangus with toyomansi are also amongst his favourite.
