We loved watching your experiences trying the amazing foods that the Philippines has to offer at the various buffets and cafes in all your recent videos in the Philippines.

    LOL, that is an eggplant omelette called (Tortang Talong), it's not a tortilla. By the way, aside from the Spanish name, I'm not sure if it's actually a Spanish influence. Do they have eggplant omelettes in Spain?... That's like saying that (Ceviche) is of Spanish origin because it has a Spanish name, when in reality it's an indigenous pre-colonial Peruvian dish that lost its original name. The same goes for Philippine adobo, the name is Spanish but the dish is indigenous and simply lost its original name.
