A True Filipino Delicacy

Some say Philippine food is the best in the world while others say it's absolutely disgusting. Whatever side of the fence you are on surely we can agree that Fried fish on a bed of green beans garnished with large blocks of cheese is umm, you be the judge.

What in the world is this??  From the context of the source it appears this was part of a Passover meal. Good-bye lamb, hello fish, cheese, and green beans. That cheese is likely processed cheese product and not actual cheese though I could be wrong.

Fish and cheese do go together on a sandwich but what kind of combination is this? It's like the cook took random foods and tossed them together. While each component on its own probably tastes ok this presentation is awful. Why not shred the cheese and give the fish a little sprinkling? Large blocks of cheese go with crackers. 

This meal is not an accurate representation of Filipinos cuisine as a whole. It is a gross anomaly. The Facebook page I found this on often posts the food their group eats and none of it has ever looked like this.
