There aren't that many Filipino vegetable dishes that I find tasty and on that short list, Laing is on the top. Maybe it's the coconut milk, maybe it's the Bagoong ... maybe it's that it's like creamed spinach with a richer and thicker texture. It also works as an easy and cheap (I like cheap) potluck item.

When anyone asks the question "what is your favorite dish?", this is it. Everyone who's eaten it has fully enjoyed it. Chicken Divan, food of the gods ... or at least, my food of choice. It's creamy, tart and has large quantities of cheddar cheese. This is good in every way other than for your heart. It contains more butter than anything I'll ever make. It's an excuse to consume vast quantities of delicious goodness and there's never anything that will keep me away from seconds.
