Pffffffffff. Right people, chill the heck out.
Nothing against Filipinas here. It maybe just my bad luck for not meeting any Filipina who can cook and I was just telling the truth. Or maybe I'm just too fussy with food.
Fooking hell, sometimes you really ought to say things carefully or you would get slapped by sensitive people here.
ps. bunthorne, you are sometimes very aggressive

Really? Well, look back at the comment about smog pimping out his filipina girlfriend followed by what you said. Not very pleasant IMHO.

Is she fit?
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than open ones mouth and remove all doubt.

no its not your bad luck, its called ignorance. not attacking you but it wll clear up after i explained.
how can one person expect a "helper" coming from an impoverished area with probably not even supermarkets around, leave alone decent edible food! be expected to cook for a perosn who has grown up with the worlds delights/ isnt that just simple ignorance of the employer?
either hire one who has the credentials to cook well, or expect to train or outsource training!
I have never hired a pot washer to do a Chefs job, however i did train a few who do rather well now.
apart from that it has nothing to do with race, indinesians, filipinas, whereever from if the above applies its really a simple thing to understand

Cheffie, now that you are wrong about people from poor countries can't make decent food. Many people from poor(er) countries can cook really nice food whilst not everyone from civilised countries can do the job.
I never expected, and still don't, my helper to cook excellent food. I don't see myself being "ignorance" at all. I do know a lot of Indonesian and Sri Lankan helpers who can cook well, but not the Filipinas. It's just a fact of my own experience, not an attack.

I guess all the local mums who pack their kids off each morning to buy their own breakfast and eat a bought lunch also dont know how to cook ??????? per head of population hong kong has a very large number of restaurants snack bars , dip pi dongs etc that leads one to the conclusion that the local population dont know how to cook......., cant work out why I see all those filipino's in welcome each day buying food
darren rudd is and never was a sinophile
but the reports were a smoggy mistake

Vietnamese and Thai food are very popular, even though these two countries are not as developed. And there aren't that many 'supermarkets' in Vietnam.
Britain on the other hand...
So there goes your 'theory' out the window, Bertha.
How funky is your chicken?

I think the Author of Kitchen Confidential, Anthony Bourdain - believes that great food has it's history in the poor - in people who had to use every part of everything edible to make a tasty and nourishing meal.
And the Dutch have created what great food GdV?
Average by Intention.

AB can say what he wants! how can one expect to cook a great meal of a piece of meat that one has never seen in its lives?
most helpers are not the female chefs in cebu hotels, the female chefs in manila hoetls, but mostly the poor provincial girls who rarely seen anything else but pig and karabau, fish gets farmed in overly polluted lakes and thats about as far as it goes for them.
now they may do a delish adobo, but i hardly see that requested in HK for dinner.
Spunky, correct! mant thai and vietnamese therefor dont end up working as maids, but end up in restaurants abroad!
now scoot yall, dont attack the Chef en masse!
oh and on the food issue from Holland, correct there is not much we can write about there. does that in any way have to reflect on me in any way? cause i am not getting the point here :)
