Philippino FISH SAUCE?! :roftl:

 

Neighbours? :blink:

 

 

 

*wonders if the neighbours are Philippino and perhaps distant relatives that I must reacquaint with (especially if they live in London, but kind of thinking he's referring to LA) or if its just the fish sauce that's Philippino...* :mf_rosetinted:

 

Thanks for posting Nono!
