RICE!

@Kevin...Chinook managed to survive and thrive here in the States despite not eating the perfect rice with every meal. Besides, she doesn't want to be babied that way anyway.

@Dianne...If you are looking for Filipino fast food in the Puget Sound area, Jollibee, Chow King, Tokio Tokio, and Red Ribbon just opened right next to the new Seafood City at the Westfield Southcenter Mall in Tukwila. Guaranteed you'll be in Pinoy-grocery heaven at Seafood City. Fou Lee on Beacon Hill in Seattle is another good place to shop for Filipino groceries.

If you are craving better Filipino food, try Kawali Grill on Rainier Avenue or Inay's on Beacon Hill.

There are some decent turo turos in the area too.

thanks for the info Tahoma cant wait to move there

Hey all. Bel is coming here soon, and one thing we "worry" about is rice.

Bel has had rice with almost every meal of her entire life, which I imagine is quite common for Filipinas. She doesn't want to abandon rice immediately when she gets here, and I certainly understand. Rice is easy to have at home, of course. But, when we go out, I want to ensure we go places with the type of rice she's accustomed to. Many restaurants don't even have rice at all. Many have rice that's not very Asian and probably won't suffice.

So, what restaurants do you all visit here in the US which have the "right" kind of rice? Of course most decent Teriyaki, Thai, and other Asian places will. But, what about national chain restaurants? I'm talking big known names like Outback, Chilies, Applebees, or even like Ruth's Chris type places.

Somehow, I feel like a poet could turn this post into a funny poem.

Wow, I'm so excited about her getting here, that I'm posting about rice. WOOHOO!

Why not just buy (Jasmine) rice from your local grocery/market? I cook rice everyday for me and my husband.
