Philippine Cuisine

local specialities and useful things to know

What you must know about

the traditional Filipino cuisine

Filipinos are constantly eating. Three meals a day isn’t

enough, so they have added two meryenda, which

literally means snack. The afternoon snack can

include pan de coco (sweet bun with a coconutfilling)

or Bibingka (fluffy race cakes topped with cheese)

and super sweet 3 in 1 instant coffee.

Filippino food is compared to other Asian countries

poor in reputation. Have you ever heard

of a Philippino restaurant in the Western World.

If you ask Filipinos though, they think their

home cooked food is the greatest thing in the world.

When I travelled with Filipino friends for the international

kite competitions like the World Championships

in Sardinia, they were the happiest people to

meet other Filipinos there and to get invited for rice

and chicken Adobo.

If you ask me, Pinoy food is not as bad as the

international reputation, nor as delicious as locals

consider it. For Western taste it is normally

too sweet, too much meat, not enough vegetable

and too heavy. Influence of American food

are very obvious with fast food on every corner

and their Filippino version of Mc Donalds,

Jollibee with sweet hamburgers or sweet spaghetti.

What to order if you travel around

the philippines

Breakfasts

Let’s start with the breakfasts.

Rice, very often garlic rice with a fried egg on top

(Eggsilog), rice with honey-cured pork (Tocinolog),

Tapsilog is Rice served with salty beef stripes or

Longsilog is rice with pink coloured sausages.

Main dishes

No matter where you are in the Philippines you will

always find Adobo in versions of Chicken Adobo, Pork

Adobo any meat stewed in vinegar, soysauce and

garlic. Very often you find in the restaurants Bulaloa

beef soup or Sinigang- a meat or seafood tamarind

flavoured soup. Pancit Canton are fried noodles

with vegetable. Lumpia rolls are springrolls with

normally vegetarian filling of cabbage, sprouts

or carrots. Lechon, roasted pig, is served at

Celebrations.

Desserts

I must admit though I am a fan of Philippino desserts.

My favourite – and even my favorite dessert

worldwide – congrats to the Pinoy cuisine is

Mangofloat. It’s a frozen icecream cake with layers

of sweet condense milk and all-purpose cream,

graham cookies and mangos.

Halo-Halo ia a glass with fruit preserves, sweet corn,

young coconut, sweet condense milk and crushed ice.

Leche Flan is similar to Crème Brulee in Italy and

Inipig is glutinous riceflour fried with caramalized

sugar on top.
