Anyare ba mga ka-JUAN ?
-----------
Sabi dito sa post niya sa kanyang Blog na pinamagatan niyang I would rather go hungry that to eat Filipino Street Food .
Many said that :
sabi niya "Sorry guys for disappointing you , but it is not true in our opinion" . At sabi pa niya sa post niya dun na idadagdag sa kanyang listahan ang Filipino Food sa I would rather go hungry than to eat this food again .
Bakit ba nagalit ?
See this photo
May point nga naman siyang magalit .. Anyway , marami pa po siyang nilait na mga pagkain mga ka-JUAN .
Here is another one :
Halatang napabayaang grilled (burnt) . Ewan ko nga lang kung yan nga talaga ung nakita ni ate Agness ? Pero kung ako tatanungin . Wala naman akong nakakaing Inihaw na isda (like in the picture , bangus) na walang parteng sunog ? Ewan ko lang sa ibang bansa .
Meron pa pong isang picture .
Parang nakakaloko na ito e mga ka-JUAN .
Ang layo po kaya ng Longganisa sa American style hot dog . Ewan ko talaga parang kalokohan na lang talaga ung mga proweba ng babaeng ito . Bakit naman siya bibigyan ng Footlong kung Longganisa naman ang gusto niya ?
Saang tindahan naman niya yan nabili .. hmmm look familiar .
Sa huli nabasa ko ang kanyang pinakamalaking pagkadismaya sa pagkain natin .
The biggest disappointment was not trying traditional Filipino dishes. Why? We simply could not find them! We visited enormous amount of local food stands and restaurants asking for balut, adobo, asado, daing and more and we we have heard was “Not here. We have some fish and fried pork only.”, “Do you want to try noodles instead?”, “We have some boiled eggs”. So, so disappointing!
Other than that, in touristy areas, they serve food to...guess who? Tourists! In a place like Thailand, for example, that means you see these “Western" fruit breakfasts, pancakes, French toast, hot dogs...etc. The same thing is happening in the Philippines. A lot of backpackers are looking for western foods after traveling so long. Demand creates supply
Sa pagbabasa ko ng mga naging comment .
May nabasa akong kapareho ng iniisip ko .
MALI NGA LANG TALAGA ATA SIYA NG NAPUNTAHANG MGA LUGAR
---------------
Marami pa pong ibang diniscuss .
Opo alam ko namang ibang klase ang pagseserved ng mga pagkain dito sa atin . Inaamin ko po na hindi rin masustansiya at malinis ang karamihan sa ibang tinitinda sa kalye . E hindi rin naman natin nakikita kung paano inihahanda ang mga ito di ba ? Masasabi lang naman ata nating malinis ang pagkain kapag may pangalan ito , RIGHT ? (I mean , kapag sa restaurant ka na kain lalo na ung kilala at sikat .)
---------------
Kahit na ang ibang foreigner at Pilipino ay sang-ayon sa kanya (Agnes Walewinder) , may response naman ang isang foreigner na nanirahan dito sa Pilipinas
Si sir Nathan Allen . Sumang-ayon din naman siya kay ate Agness pero binahagi niya ang masaya at pagkadismaya sa mga napuntahan niyang lugar . (mas marami pa rin ung masasaya niyang reaction kaysa sa pagkadismaya .)

/ A foreigner's response to I'd rather go hungry girl
Thanks for your honest opinion about "Filipino food." Thanks for not holding back. Mostly, thank you for making me (another foreign blogger writing about the Philippines) look good. I mean, you're making me look really good. Yes, I wrote a "letter to the Philippines" a few weeks ago, and I worried it might be misinterpreted – possibly angering some Filipinos.Fairness :)
Speaking of fairness, to be fair, at first I did not enjoy the food in Manila or some of the touristy areas I visited. I agree that some of it was over-flavored and unhealthy. The irony is that in my opinion, that's because these specific foods were very WESTERNIZED. Though it's not nearly as bad as you make it seem, the "obesity problem" you mention (in my opinion, and only in Manila) comes from the American-style fast food culture.

Isa pa mga ka-JUAN mula kay kuya Nathan :
As you should know, if you want the "real deal," you must escape the tourists (and vendors who sell to them). It's simple. "Street food" in the Philippines is not the enemy, and I don't believe you have to go to fancy traditional Filipino restaurants to get great food.
Sarcasm ? But I like this one BIG LIKE for this one :
As for Filipino food making you sick, I must admit that I have a strong stomach. Filipino food (in any form) never made me sick. While I'm sure it happens occasionally, I don't recall any tourists being sick – and some of them ate balut with me.Kasi sa mga post ni ate Agness , binanggit niya po na sumakit ang tiyan niya matapos kumain ng isang Filipino dish/food .
You mention that after eating the food, you felt bloated and tired. You also mentioned that you had massive migraine headaches, and mood swings.
I'm no expert...and forgive me for saying this, but based on the symptoms you have described, it appears you might have been experiencing PMS during your stay in the Philippines. You certainly don't look very happy in the black and white photo at the top of your post. The tone and mood of your post seems a bit irratable also, so it would make sense if you were uncomfortable during your stay in the country.
If this is the case, it is especially unfair to blame your sour mood on the food of the Philippines.
That's all for the post of sir Nathan

Mga ka-JUAN ? Baka nga talaga mali lang siya ng mga napuntahan .
Sana nga bumalik siya dito ulit at sana magkaroon siya ng magagandang karanasan tungkol dun sa mga pagkain dito para maiba ang kanyang pananaw .
Blog where i got Agness Walewinder post :
and for the post of sir Nathan , RAPPLER website
She (Agness) doesn't know where to look for "authentic" Filipino food. Period. And from her own shortcomings come this very judgmental and insulting review about Filipino foods. How flattering! The title of her post says it all. She could have used a better phrase naman. Para tuloy intentional yung blog post niya.
