      The street food was always my favorite.
      And the vendors that have routes that bring food to the workers.
      There was one guy that sold a bowl of noodles in a shrimp broth.
      It was 5 pesos a bowl - at the time $.25
      He'd hand you your bowl and stand there waiting while you slurped it down.

    so if a foreigner asks me to describe the following:
    1. Sinigang, "it is Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader in a bowl!" with back up singers!
    2. Pork Sisig, "it is your bride in your wedding day" and you with all your complicated emotions.
    3. Laing, "a kick on the face" but don't worry... it will sooth you all over.
    4. Adobo in Banana leaf, a heavenly mist that will make you "beg for mercy" .

    Sometimes I cook it, sometimes I get it from the local Filipino store who cooks fresh dishes every day. I don't know if it's a filipino thing, but I LOVE feeding people. I use food to show my love - and Filipino food, to me, is the ultimate expression of love - as it's the food I grew up with.

      It's a Filipino thing. I live in Oklahoma, USA and I love giving my American neighbors Filipino food and they love the dishes! I remember when I was young in the Philippines, my mother and our neighbors would give each other a bowl of food for lunch. So even though my mother cooked just rice and 1 ulam (dish to accompany the rice), we always end up with 3 or 4 different ulam.

    First tip to enjoy Filipino food, at Manam you should eat your sinigang pork soup with steamed rice, and sisig paired with steamed rice as well, and Laing must DEFINITELY be accompanied with a spoonful of steamed rice with every bite...otherwise its just too sour or too salty just eaten on its own.

    woah! finally someone who says filipino dish is underrated..coz its true filipino dish is not as big as other food like Thai, Chinese or even Japanese cuisine. Philippines is the melting pot of asia where different food comes and filipino's make their own version and make it a Filipino Dish. Thats why you can see alot of influence from Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Thai, and Spain.

    Most of what you ate are the simpler types of food, almost half of what you got were just fried/grilled stuff. Lol. Get the more unique dishes. Try Bicol Express, Binagoongan, Kare-kare, Igado, Dinuguan, Menudo, Bopis, and Caldereta, but if you really want deep fry, try Lechon Kawali, that's my favorite. Try Achara since it seems like you love pickled veggies, that is our top appetizer. Try our Pancit Canton, Pancit Malabon, Pancit Palabok etc for noodles. I'd like to see you try street food, Balut is the most popular delicacy here but I bet you'd like Adidas (chicken feet) because you enjoyed the pig knucles a lot, but don't forget to try Isaw, and Betamax. Try Taho too, Palitaw, Suman, Turon and Banana Cue for snacks. Because you liked Puto-bumbong, you should try regular puto, Kutsinta, Ensaymada, Leche Flan, Royal Bibingka, Yema, Maja Blanca, Polvoron, and Pastillas. Halo-Halo is mandatory during a sunny day, you'd regret it if you don't try that after a long walk under the sun, also try Buko Salad.
