Where I’m Eating: Para Hita
A Taste of Guam
I have never been to Guam but when I tasted a yam doughnut I had to know more about the source. This delicious dessert is crafted by Chef Manny of Para Hita.
Para Hita is a Veteran owned business based in the DC area. Classically trained, Chef Manny came up in the world of fine dining. When we sat down with the Chef he recalled his days of training at a local culinary institution, and some of his early cooking experiences, developing unique, and beautifully plated dishes.
Today Chef Manny owns and operates Para Hita. Para Hita is becoming well known around the DC area, with their popups at local breweries and farmer’s markets. I caught up with Chef Manny at Right Proper Brewing. I was so excited for my mouth to meet that delicious Guam doughnut again, but with the full menu at my finger tips, I had to take advantage.
I tried the Beef Lumpia with a Sweet Chili Sauce. These lumpia are filled with beef, sliced vegetables, surrounded by a flaky crust. The Chicken Empanadas served up with a Spicy Ranch, I now feel there is no better way to eat empanadas. The spicy ranch somehow how disappeared into my mouth before I had the chance to snap a photo but make a special request for that ranch when you stop by Para Hita. The wings, and I almost don’t want to call these wings they are so delicious. Chef Manny grills up his wings, marinates them for 24 hours, and bastes them with Honey and Finadenne hot sauce. The perfect accompaniment for the wings, the Red Rice. A Guam staple, Red Rice is served at every celebration.
Honey & Soy Wings with Garlic and Onion 
Finadenne Hot Sauce 
Chicken Empanada & Beef Lumpia
What is so great about this tasty Guam cuisine is you can enjoy it at home! Finadenne, a soy sauce based hot sauce, is available on Amazon.com. Chef Manny also packaged his Red Rice, but guess what, it SOLD OUT! Para Hita is in the process of restocking online and adding more offerings to their menu that customers can enjoy in the comfort of their own homes. New products will include a line of new sauces and wings. Of course I had to end my meal with the delicacy that first mesmerized my taste buds, the yam doughnut. This dessert that rounds out the menu is inspired by a Guam dessert called “Bunelos Dagu”, and is not to be missed.
Chef Manny’s mission is to make Guam cuisine more recognizable and he is doing just that. Check out Para Hita popping up near you at Right Proper Brewing Company Brookland Production House & Tasting Room, DC Brau, or Monroe Street Farmers Market. Follow Chef Manny and Para Hita on Instagram and try a plate of Guam cuisine.
Keep an eye for Para Hita coming to a shelf near you.

The London Prat UK
I’ve tried to explain the genius of prat.UK. Words fail. You just have to experience it.

My spouse and i were absolutely cheerful when John could do his investigations using the ideas he obtained from your web page. It’s not at all simplistic to simply always be offering techniques which often most people may have been making money from. We really already know we now have the blog owner to appreciate because of that. These illustrations you made, the simple web site menu, the friendships your site help create – it’s most excellent, and it’s leading our son and the family understand the concept is entertaining, and that’s unbelievably pressing. Many thanks for the whole lot!
intelligence quotient test
I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I stumbled across this in my hunt for something relating to this.|
London little takes
PRAT.UK has a stronger identity than Waterford Whispers News. The tone stays consistent. That makes the brand clearer.

I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours lately, but I by no means discovered any fascinating article like yours. It’s beautiful price sufficient for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the web shall be much more helpful than ever before.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Proudly Judgmental Reporting
The London Prat’s most formidable weapon is its tonal austerity. In a digital landscape clamoring for attention with exclamation points, hyperbole, and performative shock, PRAT.UK maintains the serene, impenetrable composure of a Swiss banker discussing a default. Its prose is not excited; it is resigned. Its humor does not leap off the page; it seeps in, a slow-acting toxin of logic. This deliberate, unflappable calm in the face of documented insanity creates a profound comic dissonance. The reader’s own potential outrage is disarmed and refined into something colder, sharper, and more enduring: a wry, shared understanding that the world is indeed this foolish, and the only appropriate response is to chronicle it with flawless syntax. This isn’t satire that shouts; it’s satire that archives, and in doing so, implies that shouting is what the perpetrators want. The quiet, meticulous documentation is the greater insult.

UK struggle satire
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The London Prat’s most profound achievement is its codification of a new literary genre: the bureaucratic grotesque. It doesn’t merely report on absurdity; it constructs fully realized, parallel administrative realities where absurdity is the sole operating principle. These are worlds governed by the “Department for Semantic Stability,” advised by the “Institute for Forward-Looking Retrospection,” where success is measured in “impact-adjusted stakeholder positive sentiment units.” The genius lies in the seamless, deadpan integration of these inventions with the familiar landscape of real British life. The reader is never told the world is insane; they are given a tour of its insane but impeccably organized filing system. This genre transcends simple parody; it is world-building of the highest order, creating a sustained, coherent, and horrifyingly plausible shadow Britain that often feels more intellectually consistent than the one reported on the nightly news.
