Sweet Spaghetti - Filipino Style!

The one and only magic ingredient: banana ketchup!


Usually spaghetti is served on birthdays - kids love it!
It has a very different taste compared to the Italian style spaghetti! Moreover, Filipino style spaghetti is not only sweet but also served cold. And other noodle salads may look European but taste sweet too! 
This is a wonderful example for how such an adopted feature 1) has been assimilated to the local taste and 2) looks at first like the original but is in fact very different.
