This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

IUm, dinuguan is blood soup (root word is literally blood). I like it, but it has a pretty niche appeal, and you'll be hard pressed to find someone that'll serve it to a westerner.
But yeah, do yourself a favor and find a "carinderia" (or karinderya, depending on region) which roughly translates to "cafeteria" but is usually run by a sweet lady making as close as you'll get to homemade cooking. Some dishes to try:
Or branch out! It works kind of like Panda Express where you point to the dish(es) you want (called ulam) and they'll add rice (I recommend asking for extra). It's cheaper than any fast food chain and way better.
Just don't go to the Karenderia. It's run by a white woman that thinks she knows what she is doing, and wishes to speak to your manager.
This sounds awesome! Wish we had places like this in the States
Dominican places in Brooklyn can be like this. Awesome and cheap.
The concept is becoming more popular I'm the US I think. I just found out a bunch of Puerto Rican ladies essentially run a similar concept near me recently.
We do, Panda Express
No
Panda express is as corpo and soulless as every other fast food restaurant.
Whooooosh
