Is the shit. It's so fucking greasy and unhealthy, which means it's amazing.


Let's talk about how awesome this shit is.

Tocilog.

Pork, Egg and Rice. The port is so amazing. It's my favorite breakfast.

Karekare

Oxtail Stew in peanut sauce. It's so good. I love peanuts.

Chicken Adobo

I don't know what the process is, but this is my favorite way to eat chicken.

What is your guys favorites?

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Special mention.

Jollibee Perfect Pairs Spaghetti + Chicken Joy.

Best fried chicken. Goes so good with their gravy. The spaghetti is sweet, but the hot dog is fun. It's delicious junk food.

 

[Tranquil]

I make chicken adobo all the time at home. Love it.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

I make chicken adobo all the time at home. Love it.

How do you make it? It has such a unique flavor. What are the ingredients?

 

[belmarduk]

Its a dessert but I absolutely love biko. Lots of countries have variations on sweet and sticky rice dishes but biko is the best.

 

[BadBurger]

I just made Filipino style canton noodles yesterday, hah. The Filipino place near me closed down. I miss their chicken adobo and lumpia.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

How the hell did I make this topic without mentioning pancit and lumpia.

 

[NahaNago]

How the hell did I make this topic without mentioning pancit and lumpia.

That was the first thing to pop up in my head when I saw the title of the thread. My mom always makes those two dishes for family gatherings.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

We used to watch Pacquiao fights at our Filipino friend's house. Nicest family ever, and the food was outrageous. Mouth watering

 

[longdi]

Japanese seafood.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Japanese seafood.

That guy has a King Slime Plush and that's kind of awesome. But Japanese food is pretty different from Filipino food.

 

[Rentahamster]

Agreed. It's great! Super cheap when actually in the Philippines too.

 

[Tranquil]

How do you make it? It has such a unique flavor. What are the ingredients?

They're many different ways to make it, this is how I do it.

In a pot add the following:

1 cup Soy Sauce
1 cup White Vinegar
1 cup Water
As long as the liquids are 1:1 ratio

1 Tablespoon Pepper
5 cloves garlic peeled (I usually use garlic powder)
3 bay leaves (optional)

Then to the pot add Bone in Chicken thighs, skin side down and bring to a boil leave for 30 minutes with lid on.
After 30 mins take lid off and flip chicken thighs over.
Continue to simmer with lid off for another 30 minutes.

Serve over white rice in a bowl
Garnish with some green onions and pour over a little of that liquid into the bowl.

 

[isual]

sinigang is pretty good son. puto as well, but depends on who bakes it.

 

[sol_bad]

Yeah, how did you miss sinigang, it's absolutely the best dish evah!!!

 

[Mr. Wedgewood]

No exagerration love these foods, Ilocano 100%

Fried Silit- Fried Intestines
Dinakdakan-Pork Guts and Brain (taste like eggs)
Dinardaraan (Diniguan for you tagalog folk) pork blood stew
Pinakbet-staple food

 

[Blond]

Baby I will EAT UP A POT OF DINUGUAN!

 

[TaySan]

Karekare looks amazing! O.O Now i wish i had a place nearby to eat some.

 

[LostDonkey]

Filipino breakfast burritos I loooooove

 

[YukiOnna]

Adobo and Karekare are some good shit. My Filipino friend treated me to some and I was in heaven. There's also the regional Lechon which is good shit.

 

[ULTROS!]

Im so-so on Filipino food.

Spoiler

coz I live here and eat it almost everyday

I love the purple sweets like ube anything and inutak:

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Ube is amazing. My mother in law made me some ube mamon and it was so good.

 

[triplestation]

 

[KielCasto]

Ube is definitely good. Love it more if it's in halo-halo.

If you ever find yourself in San Francisco, look up a food truck called Senor Sisig.

When it comes to food I would not steer you (or anyone else) in the wrong direction. Trust me, I’m fat.

I would seriously laugh out loud if we met each other as I was regular and made small talk with other regulars. That tosilog burrito with vinegar is sin wrapped in a 12 inch tortilla.

[GHG]

Just popping in to say their fried chicken is sensational.

I had no idea before I moved to Dubai.

Also Buko Pandan is the shit:

 

[H4ze]

Damn, that chicken in the OP looks reeealll good.

I'd say my favorite food is OG ramen and Vietnames Phó

 

[killatopak]

Sisig is pretty great.

Kaldereta is one of my favorite. It’s a thick brown beef stew.

 

[GreyHorace]

Filipino here, and I'm happy you people from other countries have taken a liking for our local cooking.

Sisig is always my go to food, both as a meal and something to introduce to newcomers. Here's a nice video detailing the dish's origins:



I personally prefer the sisig served on a hot plate. Makes it extra crispy just the way I like it.

Other foods you should try are Bicol Express (pork and chilies cooked in coconut milk);

And Crispy Pata (deep fried pork knuckle):

If you're feeling adventurous, you should give Papaitan a try. It's goat's innards cooked in a bile stew. Yeah, I know it sounds disgusting, but trust me when I say it's delicious.

 

[The Lunch Legend]

Seriously, Filipino food needs more exposure. I consider it Southeast Asian soul food.

 

[GreyHorace]

Seriously, Filipino food needs more exposure. I consider it Southeast Asian soul food.

Well, I've never seen anyone compare our cuisine to soul food. But I think it's apt, since the Philippines has never been particularly rich and has always made do with some unusual ingredients, much like American sould food.

 

[Robot Carnival]

I've only had Filipino food a couple times but they had been delicious so I'm always down for more.

 

[BigBooper]

When I think Filipino, I think balut.

 

[MetalAlien]

Fried bananas and spaghetti.

 

[Jooxed]

Balut
