Your reply was a pleasant surprise. This entry was done ages ago, when I was still in the States. I actually had the chance to be in your area when my friend and I decided to go to a road trip to Colonial Williamsburg (why two non-American Filipinos decided to drive from New York to visit the historic site, I still can't explain until now). We wanted to visit Virginia Beach but opted for Washington DC instead. Our food needs to be broken down to its simplest form when we explain it to others who are unfamiliar so it doesn't sound so intimidating or weird. And yes, lumpia and bihon are the favorites, I must say. But from my kitchen, I can confidently serve kinilaw to the more adventures and leche flan to almost everyone. Hi Charles.

Living in Virginia Beach, VA there are over 20,000+ Filipinos and numerous Filipino canteenas in the city. I have found my non Pinoy friends and coworkers love pancit bihon and of course lumpia. This is what me and my family usually bring to pot luck dinners and parties and it is always enjoyed by the non pinoys. Good luck trying to explain the balut and other pinoy foods that sound gross but yet are delicious. I too am of Filipino heritage (mestiso-Fil-Am) and love to eat Filipino food.
