HenHen Fusion Bites in Fredericton

Authentic, quality, and underrated Filipino/Pinoy local food vendor. Great place to eat if you want to feel full, want comfort food, or enter into a food coma. Buckle up, because I wrote a full description for people who have never tried Filipino food. If you've never had Filipino food, and wonder what it's like, but have had other "northern" East Asian food (like Chinese, Japanese, etc.), I would say the style has the same "core" Asian styles, such as the use of sticky rice, slippery "soup noodles", sauces, fermented soy-based seasoning, fish, and less of a focus on red meats. Filipino food has mellow seafood flavors, with light and crispy (yet satisfying) deep fried "things", and the food tends to be refreshing with high moisture content (minus the fried stuff). Filipinos tend to balance citrus🍋, sweet, and savory in their dishes (somehow, all at the same time?) in a way very unique to Austronesia, imo. Also, the fried chicken quality, taste and smell is VERY similar to that of Jolly Bee in the Philippians. I'm told that's authentic "god tier" Filipino chicken. 😋🍗 Also, while they offer spoons and forks (they don't use chopsticks), many Filipinos prefer to eat with only their bare hand. If you choose to eat with your hand, that's not rude! It's the Filipino way! 🇵🇭 Go get food from HenHen! 🐔
