I miss Filipino foods

Simple living is beautiful. Simple foods makes me craving, most especially Ilocano foods. Most Ilocano vegetable dishes cook or prepared with bagoong like pinakbet, salad na talbos, dinengdeng or inabraw. I could not cook the same way as Ilocono does because there is no bagoong available in the market. And I could not also cook even though I have bagoong, mostly given to me by Ilocano friends because it does not smell good, says my bf. So without bagoong in pinakbet and dinengdeng, the taste is very different. So sometimes I used other ingredients. I gathered some Ilocano vegetable foods in internet.   Here are some pictures of Filipino foods I am craving for.  I am sure most of my Ilocano friends miss these foods too. Hmmmmmm delicious  ( for some people who are not Ilocano or not Pinoy,  for them its not delicious )
