In abroad there is no patis they had.He hardly misses the heat, the native accents of Tagalog or Ilongo skinned cheerful He takes, like a duck to water, to the skyscrapers, tongo he temperate climate, the strange landscape and the fabled refinements of another world.But as he sits down to meal, no matter how sumptuous, his heart sinks.And when it comes a special order which takes at least half an hour.After a few days of these debacles, the Pinoy, sick with longing, decides to comb the strange city for a Chinese restaurant. It's Better than a Chinese restaurant is the kitchen of a kababayan.
