Manila - Day 3 (Giligan's)

On our third day Daichi and I went to a restaurant called Giligan's. The restaurant had traditional Filipino food, but it was completely pirate themed. All the wait staff was wearing bandanas on their heads. We ordered a beef dish, something that was similar to the Kare Kare (I think it was the vegetarian version), and coconut rice.



They had a beer special, so Daichi ordered some of the local beer called San Miguel. Looks like he really likes the beer!

The food was really good, but when I was eating the vegetarian Kare Kare I bit into something that looked like a jagged piece of clear plastic. We called over the manager who went in back to investigate and he came back telling us it was "naturium" (not sure if I'm spelling that right). According to Daichi that's the same word they use in Japanese for NaCl, which is salt...That definitely was not salt. But then someone at the office explained it's a hard part that is sometime found in a fish's gills. Who knew?
