Hi there. Just to say thank you for all the suggestions. We had a great time and had great food. Nobody dared to make leche flan though. Maybe next year… We live in Stavanger, on the west coast.

Wow, Beki, which part of Norway do you 4 Pinays live in? I was just there with my boyfriend in June, in both Oslo and Bergen and we loved it. I didn’t see a single Pinoy around which is weird bec everywhere in the world, we always manage to see a Filipino/a.
Roast chicken.. I guess since roast chicken isn’t super trad Fil dish, I’d go with caramelized sweet potatoes and a leafy green like pechay or spinach. just steamed w/garlic or something.

Beki, a salty ham with a sweetish glaze might work well and be available where you are… how about some squash with coconut milk and perhpas beans as the vegetable? You might also consider perhaps a soup up front to add to the Filipino theme and to provide succor in cold weather. Maybe a vegetable lumpia if you have access to wrappers… Definitely a leche flan for dessert…
