Three clues that pointed to Philippines!
Its the Philippines and kudos to Life for Beginners, Lai Ying, Simple Girl, 550 jar of faith and CUMI & CIKI.
1. Non-food related: 'Pines' is one part of 'Philippines'.
2. Visual clue: Local 4 Heavenly King - can you spot the pumpkin (also calabaza, squash...)? Not often used in Asian food. More in Spanish influenced cuisine).
3. Vinegar - more western than eastern.

Lots of pine trees.
All my trips to this country were to the west, central and south. Beyond the call of duty, if I can mix some pleasure into my trips I would like to visit 4 very special sites in this beautiful country. I managed to tick one off my wish list in my last trip.
Here are a few dishes from this beautiful highland site known as the summer capital for this nation.
Can you guess the city or at least the country?
The sauce used for grilling is unique and brought out the best from this bland but tender squid.
Appetizer with pork liver and ears. The crunchy cartilage and the soft and mushy liver with loads of chili, onions and vinegar.
Rice with pork fillings.
Local 4 Heavenly kings without the belacan.
