Pinoy resto hailed as one of Ottawa's best

A Filipino-owned café and restaurant has been selected as one of the best restaurants in Ottawa by a noted food critic in Canada.
In an article on Ottawa Citizen newspaper, food critic Peter Hum described Tamis Café as among the “more humble [sic] but worthy mom-and-pop joints” in Ottawa.
Located in Ottawa's historic and elite Glebe neighborhood, Tamis Café is owned by the Sare family — Lito and his wife Liza, and their daughters Jessica and Jiselle. The family came to Canada in 2001.
In his article which came out last year, Hum noted how "Tamis Café brings [the] sweet, savoury tastes of Manila to the Glebe."
He praised the restaurant for its "simple, home-style savoury dishes that have been consistently well-made, tasty, generously portioned and bargain-priced."
Particularly, Hum found the vegan chocolate pâté at Tamis Café very likeable, and confessed that it is a dish that he craves for, according to a news release from the Department of Foreign Affairs.
Tamis Café also mixes its own unique blend of organic tea and coffee. Among their popular beverages is ube (purple yam) latte. They also bake their own pastries and cakes– including pandan (screwpine), ube desserts, leche flan (crème caramel) and the venerable pandesal bun. For the winter season, the café has recently begun to offer bulalo (beef soup) and lomi (thick noodle) soup.
Their unique take on Filipino food staples such as the classic and ube brazo de Mercedes (dessert roll), okoy (shrimp fritters), kare-kare (peanut and ox stew) and bistek (beef steak) have been featured in various diplomatic and government functions and receptions of the Philippine Embassy and the Canadian Parliament. —KBK, GMA News

Biden said set to make push for demilitarized Palestinian state as part of new doctrine ---By LAZAR BERMAN

New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, who’s close to the US administration, says emerging doctrine would include Saudi-Israeli normalization, 2-state solution, and campaign against Iran US President Joe Biden’s administration is homing in on a new doctrine involving an unprecedented push to immediately advance the creation of a demilitarized but viable Palestinian state, The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman reported on Thursday. The plan, Friedman wrote, “would involve some form of US recognition of a demilitarized Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that would come into being only once Palestinians had developed a set of defined, credible institutions and security capabilities to ensure that this state was viable and that it could never threaten Israel.” White House officials “have been consulting experts inside and outside the US government about different forms this recognition of Palestinian statehood might take,” revealed Friedman. What he termed the new “Biden Doctrin
