The beaches and mountains of the Philippines have long served local cuisine for the convenience of tourists, but there is no reason to completely ignore Filipino cuisine.
Over the centuries trade and colonization products, Filipino food combines the influences of Spain, China, India and the Malay States to create something completely unique. Of course, it may not be the diversity or complexity of the food from Singapore or the Chao of Thailand, but it remains a compelling look at the local culture - and thus worth the effort.
You don’t have to go on an out-of-food safari to use these foods - just go to a bar or kitchen to get started.
Adobe: Delicious aboriginal
To eat like a Filipino you need rice and a bowl of adobe. Take chicken or pork, boil it in vinegar and soy sauce and you will find Adobe - one of the few dishes in the Philippines that originated locally, without any foreign influence (Spanish name added later
b You can get as Adobe Filipino; It doesn’t go with rice and anything else, and each province has its own way of cooking stuff.
Bicolano of South Luzon likes Adobe Sa Gata - add coconut milk to vinegar and keep the green peppers for a glass of chili. On the Visas Islands, they add anato oil to the brazing liquid to enrich the sauce's color and flavor.
Pansit: Noodles of the Islands
Long before the Spanish came to the horizon, Chinese traders were already doing business in the Philippines. Their influence on Filipino food is far-reaching, especially in the noodle dish section Pansit (derived from the Hawkians for "something conveniently cooked"
b Pansit has become the catch-all term for noodle dishes, with a variety of name-building pansit from place to place.
Cagayan Province loves them Pansit batil patang, stewed noodles, made from water buffalo meat and topped with an egg. The Manila seaside town of Melbourne was discovered by Pansit Malbone, or noodles decorated with shrimp, squid and oysters. And in Illinois, you’ll dig in a flurry called pansit called batch, pork interior, enhanced with egg and fish paste - gaining fame as the answer to Ramen in the Philippines.
Lampia: It is dressed or eaten “naked”
Another gift for Chinese Filipino food, the iconic Filipino dish has since been adopted through Lampia indigenization.
(There's also a sweeter version of Lampier, which is wrapped in saba banana and a little jackfruit lumpier wrapper and dipped in sugar with Filipinos and fried in a call toron.)
A version of Lampier completely removes Crepe, becoming Lampiang Hubad, or "Naked Lampia", commonly known as Lampia simply because of the use of Filipino Lampia ingredients.
Kinilau: Raw fish magic
The regular availability of fresh fish is one of the best things to do when visiting the beaches and adjoining cities of the Philippines. Their locals have raised cooked fish as an art form and one might think that vinegar-cooked nothing comes close to Civic locally known as Kinilau.
Kinilla can be as simple as vinegar dressing on top of raw fish, but lend yourself to experimenting: you can find restaurants serving Kinilau with soy sauce, calamus juice, pork belly beets, onions, shrimp and salted eggs among others.
Kinilla is also not cooked over a fire - instead, the vinegar refuses the fish meat, "cooking" as well as giving an open flame.
Balut: The duck egg challenge
Eating duck embryos - buckets - have become the norm for backpackers traveling in the Philippines. Many of the backpacker pairs in Manila form part of its acquaintance with Balt Filipino drinking culture.
But is the bucket right? It’s nothing simple without a fertilized duck egg; The embryo is allowed to develop in the shell for at least 16 days before cooking. Tell the bucket seller more than 18 days old for tasty results.

Insal: Rich roast chicken
Roasted chicken (Lechon Manok in the local language) can be found in every corner of every city in the Philippines - but only the locals of the Visas Islands (Central Philippines) have developed the chicken roasting industry into an art form.
Chicken Insal Baklod is the main place of town: chicken is marinated in calamus juice, lebugras and ginger, roasted over a fire and fried with anato oil, then served with a dip of soy sauce with rice and (sometimes) liquid chicken fat.
It’s not complicated, but the goodness comes from its freshness and its height as soon as you eat insal rice.
Sisig: Parts of the economy are transformed
Through long practice Filipinos have become more talented at creating “part of the economy” or with less livestock than premiums. Nowhere is this more obvious than the sisig, the pork cheeks, the pork mouth and other parts that have been cut, a hash that mixes onion and fried; Served on a hot plate, sisig repeatedly chow sign ko na in most fashionable drinking spots.
Sisig was born in the province of Pampanga in the Philippines, where an enterprising local took part in all rejected pigs from a nearby U.S. military commission, then experimented with sisig until he hit the formula that made him rich for the rest of his days.

Place the beef tripod and ostyle on a peanut stew, garnish with vegetables, and pair with rice: you drink the curry-curry as a favorite Filipino home-cooked favorite. As the name implies, the dish should be less with the curry and more with the curry: a pair of meat and peanuts that are much better than the sum of its parts.
The addition of eggplant, daikon, okra, banana flower buds and green beans makes kare-kera a glorious surround dish (in reality, you can find the vegetarian or vegetarian version that leaves the meat completely).
The taste can be quite soft (baggage) until you add the shrimp paste - place a stick of shrimp paste on each bite of the caramel to enjoy the way this dish is meant to be.
Another gift from the Spaniards: Roasted mammals are as big in the Philippines as they are in Puerto Rico. Filipinos do not fully consider a fiesta unless there is nothing nearby except adequate writing. Fiestaguars eat the whole thing but most of them try to get as much quick, delicious skin as they can.
Lectures vary from place to place. In Manila, leeches are minimally prepared before cooking, while leeches in the south are included to improve flavors such as bay leaves, garlic and lemongrass. As a result, Manila Lechan requires a liver-based Lecon sauce to dive in, while Lecce in the Visas and Mindanao Islands (south of the capital) can be enjoyed without any sauce.

Ice is a relatively recent addition to the Filipino cuisine scene, it only arrived with the advent of the fridge in the early 1900s.
