Comfort food: What is your favorite “go-to” local comfort food, and do you make that at home?

Gerald S.A. Perez
Vice president

“Homemade chicken soup, with

local veggies and in coconut milk.”

Katherine R. Calvo

“My favorite go-to local “comfort food” is red rice and BBQ chicken, and Meskla is my go-to restaurant.

I also enjoy their parrot fish! Other than the BBQ chicken, I do not make this at home.”

“For [a] local restaurant I like to go to Meskla [for the] Fiesta Platter.

A local food to cook at home is Sinigang — a fish sour soup.”

Mary Garvilles
Operations manager

“I like to go to Pika’s Cafe for the Salmon Tinaktak Sandwich. The local food I like to cook at home is grilled organic vegetables from the Farmer’s Market.”

“Vitale’s Restorante — from the pizzas cooked in a real pizza oven reminding me of Boston, to the lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs and garlic bread. It’s the closest thing to those childhood favorites, that I can get on Guam — for me.”
