"Being on the receiving end of our passive aggression can be exhausting. Sometimes, you need regular garden variety aggression. And you can get that at Oriental Mart, a Filipino counter at Pike Place Market that isn’t shy about voicing their opinion via posted signs. These include but are not limited to: “YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED!!! SO DON’T ACT LIKE YOU ARE,” “TO: ALL U KNUCKLEHEADS, DON’T TALK 2 ME WHILE I’M COOKING,” and our personal favorite, “IF U DON’T KNOW HOW TO EAT OUR SALMON SINIGANG DON’T ORDER IT.” The literature is best enjoyed over a plate of crackly lumpia, tangy pork adobo, and the finest longanisa in town." - aimee rizzo
