It happened at random. The sight of a photograph brought on a rush of memories; of a seaside picnic under the swaying palms and the unforgettable delicacy that is kinilaw. It lingers in the Filipino's mind like a dream, almost within reach but just barely.
To paraphrase Shakespeare, kinilaw.com is a site for all to "reminisce perchance to drool. " Maybe, in levity (and possible serious dissection) the pangs of hunger and loneliness will somehow be assuaged.
Love it or hate it, kinilaw is a part of our identity. Quoting Edilberto Alegre and the late Doreen Fernandez in their book "Kinilaw",
" We want to share this song of freshness and sweetness and texture, and of our Filipino love and respect for what is is. We want to make you sing, even in the silence of your quiet seeing."
Welcome to kinilaw.com. Kain na!
