The Food in Cebu

February 16

We have PAPAYAs nearly every morning.....actually we each have 1 / 4 of one since they are so large.  We squeeze some lemon or lime juice in the middle.  They cost about 45 cents.  I'm told that the locals mash them with a little sugar and pour milk over them.  Most of their fruit is pretty good except I'm dying for a CRISP apple....they're all pretty mushy but I get them anyway.
Their Pad Thai here is WONDERFUL.....it's served not like any I've had in the States.  When we go to dinner with Jana at Lemon Grass I'll ask what their dressing is......it's a pale pink and almost a subtle floral but not really taste.  I'll also take notice of what I can see that may be different than in the States.  They also have a WONDERFUL lemonade - there are slices of cucumber, oranges, and I think lemon slices in it but I'll probe a little further.
