Day 13: Palabok from Casa Manila Restaurant

One of my favourite Filipino foods is palabok. It uses a round rice noodle, and topped with fish flakes, shrimp, squid, egg, fish sauce. At Casa Manila (near Don Mills and York Mills), they do an awesome palabok. The flavours are dark and smoky, the seafood flavour is present but not overwhelming, the texture of the noodles is somewhere between soft and al dente (unlike Italian noodles, you don't want al dente for this recipe), and the colours are bright and inviting.
