Does Filipino food use a lot of MSG?  Just had some garlic fried rice for bfast at the cantina and have been thirsty every since. I cant handle too much MSG.

I always ask for no MSG, but not sure if my message gets across. In Singapore, they call it Ajimoto.  Whats MSG called in Manila?

Thanks,
Don

Hi Don,

Mostly, Filipinos use MSG in our food but in our household, we are no longer using it...for i dont know the reason, hehehe , the manufacturer of MSG is Ajinomoto or "vetsin" in tagalog

some canteens are not using msg anymore but they replaced it with other seasonings.

Thanks,

Many Filipino foods have MSG. The Ajinomoto type and different types seasonings with MSG are very common.

My body react not so well with MSG too, I get sleepy and drowsy.  If it's fried rice, most likely it has some seasoning (powder or granule) that contains MSG.

hi don
you try to search in the enternet it may help about MSG. or ajinomoto or vetsin as i know side effect of this is nausea headeach but you can have this only if you really eat this MSG Ajinomoto. asian people in other side this is good flavor for food. MSG is not bad if you used it in the right way
hope it help little bit
