what'd you have for dinner?

met up with j ra for dinner last night.  at first we were planning on having indian food but they're on a long ass vacate.  instead we go to union landing to tribu, the new filipino place that's replaced rose garden.  know what we had?  filipino fried rice with mango, pork and other stuff.  we also ordered some . . . pig face.  my jen said that when the US was occupying the phillipines the american cooks would make a lot of pork and just throw away the heads.  then the filipino cooks would prepare the heads to eat.  the pig face came on a sizzling platter and there was minced pig ear and sprinkles of deep fried pigskin.  the rice was very tasty as well.  i've never had mango with fried rice before.  the only thing is it would have been better hot.
