In Pattaya they have a Filipino expat association, therefore I am sure they must have one in Bangkok. You might also want to check your local catholic church, you are bound to find many Filipinos who can point you in the right direction.

Trying to find Philippino food, for my Filipina girlfriend who is with me in Pattaya.
Unable to find Little Home when I search on this site, any help please!
I did hear about Bahay Pilipino, near the Ruen Thai restaurant on second road, but have been told that it closed down.

This is just some of their Filipino offerings. The chefs are Filipino and they serve very good authentic Filipino food. The portions, however, are mostly very small.

The Philippine’s most famous dish. Chicken, pork or a combination of both smothered in garlic, vinegar, soy sauce and spices. Served with steamed rice.

I thought that this was probably the best Filipino food that I have ever had - better than in the Philipines!

I have had better at special places on the islands and California, but it is better than MOST of the food I had on the islands. Hopefully they are still good. I haven't been in a year or so.

The Philippino manager at Cafe New Orleans told us that there is a regular Philippino band playing at the Moon River Pub
which is in the Thai Garden resort in North Pattaya. I think we will give that a try later in the week.

There is such a thing as fantastic Filipino food. I experienced it twice, once in Manila and once in Cebu (actually Mactan Island) (both seafood oriented places). New Orleans Cafe has a number of dishes, only one adobo. I don't think its fair to trash an entire country's cuisine when it isn't justified. Overall most would say it is not as amazing as Thai food, but that doesn't mean there isn't something to like in it.

I stayed at the home of the aunt of my ex-girlfriend and she put on a real spread, including the best fried chicken I've ever eaten.

OK, I would say the same thing, that Filipinos themselves will tell you their food isn't that hot, but being Filipino, they still want to eat it. I have noticed an enthusiasm for regional specialties of which there are many, most of which would be disturbing the westerners in their contents, and of course then there is the notorious BALUT!

When in doubt, blame the Americans! You can never go wrong with that.
The islands were a Spanish colony before they were an American colony. The Spanish influence is very apparent in the food culture there.
Yes, I agree there is good variety and some very nice non-vegetarian vegetable dishes.

For once, I have to agree with Sarge. Jollibees is pretty bad. The burgers don't even deserve the moniker, and the spaghetti is merely mushy pasta with catsup (at least to my taste). When they opened the first Jollibees in the US in Daly City (outside of San Francisco) people drove up to three hours only to stand in line for two hours to get served. I guess a taste of home, no matter what that taste is, can be a pretty big driving force.
However, Jollibees aside, I really like much of the Filipino cuisines. There is some mighty fine food to be eaten not only throughout the nation but also in pockets of Filipino expat communities in the US.

Of course. Jollibees is HORRIBLE. But it was ridiculous to even presume that judging Filipino cuisine had anything to do with a low quality American style fast food chain from that country in the first place. That would be as silly as saying food in Thailand is horrible because of the bad Thai style pizza at The Pizza Company.
BTW, I did try a Jollibees in the San Francisco suburbs and you do have to scratch your head about their popularity, it is cheap anyway ...
