Cheap Eats 2009

Filipino hosts pride themselves in getting as much food into their guests as possible. Tambayan's extensive menu is cheap enough to accomplish this easily. Start with crispy, cigarillo-size Shanghai lumpia ($2.50) and move on to the good-any-time-of-day Filipino breakfast of longsilog ($5.45): fried eggs, fried rice and longganisa sausages, the Filipino take on chorizo. Want full cultural immersion? Go for the dinuguan ($5.45), an earthy stew of pork, entrails and pig blood. Like it? Grab some for home from the grocery in back.
