Filipino Birthdays

Hi everyone! Today is July 24, 2020 and we are celebrating the 12th birthday of our youngest brother! 💞

So I'll also take this celebration as an opportunity to share to the world some food that we prepare when celebrating birthdays.

Let's dig in!

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.

Pancit Palabok is a noodle dish with shrimp sauce and topped with several ingredients such as cooked shrimp, boiled pork, crushed chicharon, tinapa flakes, fried tofu, scallions, and fried garlic. A very tasty treat that is sure to relieve your hunger. (Di mawawala ang pampahaba ng buhay na pansit)

Tripilya or Adobong Isaw ng Baboy (Pig’s Intestine) is an exotic Filipino dish that makes use of Pig's intestine and complemented with the popular adobo sauce.

Pork Adobo

The Filipino adobo is a cooking process or technique where meat, seafood, or indigenous vegetables are braised in a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar along with aromatics such as garlic, onions, peppercorns, and bay leaves.

A delicious balance of salty and savory, this hearty stew is Philippine’s national dish for good reason!

Filipino lechon kawali is one of the great pork dishes of the world, and the only hard thing about making it is waiting for the boiled pork belly to air-dry in the fridge overnight before being fried until intensely crisp and crunchy on the outside and meltingly tender within.

The garlic butter mixed vegetables is a simple and delightful dinner side for the celebration. In making this, the preparation is simple -chopped frozen vegetables—and butter, garlic, pepper and Parmesan cheese add delicious flavours and its all good. (My favourite by the way)
