Morisqueta Tostada (Philippine Fried Rice)-$6

This Dish is typically of what is known in the Philippines as Comida China : Chinese Dish with Spanish Names. Both the Spaniards and the Chinese were very strong presence in the Philippines during the colonial days from the 16th to the early 20thy century. When the chinese opened the first restaurants known as Panciterias, Spanish was the language of commerce, hence this dish has aquired itself a Spanish name.
