Philippines

My favorite food would probably be turon, which is more of a dessert. It's banana that's wrapped in like a spring roll outside, covered in sugar, then they deep fry it. I always love those. And then adobo is a classic. So you have either chicken, beef, or pork, and they just cook it with a little bit of, with a lot of soy sauce actually, a lot of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic onions. It's just really good. Goes good with rice. I love rice. Don't have rice a lot. So if you don't like it, learn to like it. According to the Filipinos, if you didn't have rice with your meal, you didn't have a meal yet. You just had a snack.

Hands down, my favorite food would be chicken curry with rice. Can't find it anywhere else here. It's the best.

My favorite like fast food place to eat or restaurant is called Mang Inasal and it's just this chicken, this big old chunk of chicken and they cook it in this incredible sauce. I don't really know how they make it but it's so good and then you dip it in vinegar and soy sauce and there's like these little peppers called sili and so it makes it extra spicy. I also love humba which is like pork and this delicious sauce or adobo is another famous food that they have. I love chicken adobo, it's amazing. You also learn to love rice, like I could eat rice without end, that's like one of my favorite things. They also have tinola, I like a lot. It has it's chicken soup kind of with these little green leaves called camungay which are so good.

One of my favorite foods is called lumpia, and it's like a little, it kind of looks like an egg roll, but it's got meat and vegetables in it, and they roll it up, and they fry it, and it's really good. I also like what they call barbecue, which is basically like pork or chicken meat, and they just stick it on a stick, and they douse it in barbecue sauce, and they grill it over a grill, and you can buy it on the street for like really cheap, and it's one of my favorites just to get barbecue. With food in the Philippines, it's always the food and then just a lot of rice, so you get to eat a lot of rice with everything that you have. I can't overstate how much rice you eat with all of your food, and you'll come to just love all of the weird desserts that they have. They have what's called the halo-halo, which is like an ice cream with everything you can imagine in it, and it's really good, and you drink it with a weird straw that you can also eat. Anyways, it's just really good, and you'll learn to love all of it.

Favorite food in the Philippines? It's got to be rice and chicken curry. There are a ton of good dishes in the Philippines. Most of them are just basically topping over rice. Chicken curry was my personal favorite. Another one, Bicol Express was really good. That one's got a little bit of a kick to it. Adobo is a classic, but there are a lot of good ones. You'll probably have a different favorite. Everyone seems to have a different one, but a lot of really, really good foods and you'll fall in love with the food.

My favorite food was pancit and the official food was the Lakimi Pancit Canton. And of course, I love cooking and eating pakbet. I also love making shakes out of tang, powdered juice mixed with an evaporated milk with crushed ice.

There's adobo which is obviously like a classic and if you don't like adobo you're going to learn to because it's super good and like definitely do that a lot. Then there's like like denuguan is the other end it's kind of gross but then you got like everything in the middle and you just kind of have to try them and figure them out and see what they call them in your area because they call them different things in different places but my favorite was probably caldereta was pretty good or menudo was really good as well so you just kind of got to eat them and see which ones you like.

Favorite foods is adobo, especially pork and chicken adobo. One of the family always cook for me a vegetable with bagoong and chili. That would be my favorite foods, bagoong with maanghang na chili.

The Coca-Cola in Bukolud is amazing. Coke in America stinks. Okay, just dump it straight down the drain. But the stuff in Bukolud, Bukolud is literally a gigantic sugarcane plantation. Everywhere you look, there is sugarcane. They process the soda right there on the island, and then they put it into glass bottles to preserve the freshness. It's amazing. I think the first time I drank a Coke in Bukolud, I shed a tear, because it was a beautiful moment. All their soda is good. Royal, it's like orange soda, also amazing.

One of my favorite street foods was chicken intestine. I know that sounds disgusting, but it is the most delicious thing ever. It was so good. And I also really liked, it was kind of like a soup called sinigang. And it had pork and radish. And it had like this really tart, kind of sour broth that you would pour on your rice. And wow, it was so good. It is the best thing I've ever eaten. Whenever I hang out with my Filipino friends here, I'm like, can I have some, or can I have some sinigang? I say it in Filipino, but you don't understand Filipino, so I'm not going to tell it to you. But anyways, sinigang is the best. And chicken intestine, those are my two recommendations if you ever go.

Everything. I loved the food. I still eat it today, the ones I know how to make at least. One of my favorite dishes was what's called pinakas. It's a fish that they marinate in soy sauce and they fry it and put tomatoes and onions and you have a dipping sauce. It's the best. But I love rice. The fruit in the Philippines is amazing. I love all of it. Rambutan, lansones, santol, some of my favorites. They're just amazing. The bread, especially in Bacolo, the delicacy is called piaya. It almost looks like a little pancake. It's like a pastry with some filling in it. It's flat. It's amazing.

All the food in the Philippines is really good. There's not very much out there that I didn't like. So I'd say be sure to learn how to cook Ulam when you're out there. Some of the best ones, probably Bicol Express if you like your spicy stuff, or Chicken Adobo if you like sweet or sour stuff. I really like Bicol Express, you know, lots of pork, roasted in coconut milk, and then you just add a whole bunch of peppers to make it as spicy as you can.

The first one is called adobo, which is like chicken or pork or whatever meat and it's dipped in soy sauce. Sometimes there's brown sugar. It's really good. It's a super simple food and I'm pretty sure it's easy to make and they serve it with potatoes and stuff. So whatever is good by that. Also my other favorite is called lumpia, which is kind of like a small spring roll filled with meat or vegetables. That tastes really good and they're usually really cheap and small so you just can eat a bunch of it and kind of gorge yourself. Let's see what other foods are there. There's a lot of foods. They serve it at a bunch of places called a calenderia, which is a super cheap and affordable place to eat food. So everything is really affordable, but just be careful where you eat because sometimes the food is not sanitary.

One of my favorite things is lumpia. It's just like an egg roll, but it's way better. I love Filipino mangoes. They are so good. They have really good chicken curry there, and they have pancit, which is like rice noodles with soy sauce. It's so good. I once tried a banana scone just off the street. That was way good. And I love their mungo. It's like these mung beans. It's in a soup, and it's just served with rice, and it's so yummy. I love Filipino food.

Definitely barbecue stands all over the place. So good, just meat on a stick. Any kind you want, spicy or sweet sauce, both of them are delicious most of the time. Also, regarding other street foods, huge fan of banana q, which is just pieces of banana fried in brown sugar. Doesn't really get better than that. Other dishes I liked, one that I learned how to cook because I liked it so much, is called Beagle Express. It's a specialty of another place in the Philippines called Beagle, but what it essentially is, is coconut milk with spicy peppers, strips of pork, and green beans. It's really good when people know how to make it well.
