Today, I had lunch at a small Filipino place in Culver City called Kabahayan. It's located at the southeast corner of Venice Boulevard and Madison/Clarington, in strip mall, tucked behind a Thai BBQ place. Various Filipino dishes are displayed in steam tables; you can get two or three entrees with rice, and soup. The food was pretty good; I had a very tasty and succulent pork adobo with grilled fish and rice, and a bowl of soup that was a clear broth with some bok choy and stewed meat. There is a small grocery section with Filipino snacks and sundries, and a freezer with meats, seafood, ice cream, and red beans. My eye caught a flavor of ice cream labeled "quezo real," which means cheese ice cream, folks. Yup - the description below the name says "Ice cream with real cheddar cheese bits." Well, I just had to try this out, so I bought it and took it home. I tried it, and you know, it's not as bad as it sounds. It tastes a lot like french vanilla, except your tongue will feel a strange texture in that mouthful of cold, creamy smoothness that's just not supposed to be there. As you bite down on these little rubbery rectangles your tongue has discovered and taste a familiar sharpness, you realize - "Dude, there's cheese in my ice cream!"
