Yes, you can go to another country by traveling only 5 miles!
The other night Christina our daughter said, "I'd like to eat some Filippino food. Is there any nearby?" I had often heard of the Tropical Hut (www.tropicalhutcatering.com) from my good Filippino friend Lamar Rivers, who knows all the best places to eat. Plus, we drive by it at least once a week going north on Rt. 9.
Tropical Hut is like walking into another country. It has a grocery in front with many very exotic Asian foods. Many are unpronouncable, and others are dried formerly alive things! In front of the counter are 3 small tables, where we ate. At the counter, we asked for "typical" Filippino food. It was good, especially the desserts (coconut milk jello, mongo bars, cassava leaf pudding, purple bean cookies). Plus we met lots of friendly people from the Philippines who were fascinated with Christina's upcoming trip (she leaves Thursday).
I feel like I have gone to the Philippines- the easy way!
