What is Reddit's opinion of Amboy: Recipes from the Filipino-American Dream?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

My favorite cookbook is Alvin Cailan’s Amboy cookbook before I found this cookbook I had bought countless Filipino cookbooks that were incredibly disappointing. This is the first one that taught me how to make almost every Filipino dish I wanted to learn and make it well. I do supplement it with the foodnatics YouTube channel because you get a better idea of the refinements/regional variations. Alvin brings the skill set and culinary knowledge of a classically trained chef and applies it to Filipino food. Foodnatics gives you so many great tasting variations to riff with. My one critique of Alvin’s cookbook is that he tends to go big with meat and potatoes at the expense of veggies. Like his Tortang Giniling is almost all meat no veggies, and in my opinion adding veggies and raisins makes this dish one of the best simple breakfasts you can get. But even in recipes you need to tweak he teaches you great ideas like he serves his with a ketchup Mayo sauce and serves like a stack of pancakes that you slice. If you are looking at adventuring into Filipino cuisine this is a great starting off point.
