"You do not find the happy life. YOU MAKE IT."
The diverse geography of the islands of the Philippines not only has made food easily accessible to fishermen, farmers, hunters and gatherers but has allowed it to be prepared by some of the simplest methods of cooking, including boiling, grilling, stewing and steaming. The cuisine has also been heavily influenced by centuries of trade with Spain, China, France, Southeast Asia and the United States.
1.Grilled Bangus (milkfish )
I'm sure i am not the only one who missed this inahaw na bangus, too bad i can't find bangus here in my area. This is so delicious fish i can eat them with a steam white rice ,with matching toyo and kalamansi and of course (kamayan style ) eating by hand. Usually this kind of dished can represented to any occasions.
2.Pork Lechon
The lechon is a very popular and famous food among Filipinos. Lechon (litson in tagalong) is roasted whole pig cooked over burning charcoals. It is a dish that is almost a fixed part and menu centerpiece of any Filipino celebration which is usually prepared for fiestas, family celebrations (like parties and marriages) and also a favorite dish during Christmas. Lechon is the Spanish name for pig, in the Philippines it means a spit-roasted pig. Lechon is prepared by filling the inside of the animal pig with herbs and vegetables. The pigs are slowly hand roasted on top of charcoal for hours till their skin turns into reddish brown and the inside flesh becomes tender. Philippine Lechon is often served with a thick liver sauce cooked with vinegar, sugar and herbs.
3.Pancit Bihon
Pancit, or pansit, is a quick-cooked noodle dish that is one of the quintessential meals of Filipino cuisine. All kinds are available, and pancit is as popular at street stands as it is at family gatherings. The most common variety is pancit bihon, with rice vermicelli and a mix of meat and vegetables.
