Mine would be Pork and Chicken Adobo!!! I love how it is both sour and salty. I love eating mine with piping-hot rice. I especially love my yaya's version of Garlicky Adobo.

For breakfast, my favorite is Tocino. I love eating it with tomatoes and fish sauce. So, so, so yummY!

Street food is another favorite mine. Fish balls are the best. I don't know why but I seem to love the ones sold on the street than those cooked at home. Haha! I also love Barbeque dipped both in the sweet and sour sauce. Pork Intestines are quite good as well! I prefer it to Chicken Intestines.

What's your favorite Filipino food?

I like all those that you have mentioned. what more can i add on the list? You almost had it all there. i guess you are not a Filipino without having to taste all these foods. LOL Makes me crave for those foods at the moment.

Its Vegetable salad, I don't know if it is a Filipino Food, But if it is not a Filipino food, then my next favorite would be the skin of a litson baboy,,,, huhuhu poor pig.

Vegetable Salad? Hmmm... is that the one with tomatoes, onions, green mango and red egg?:)) Crispy skin is yum!

That's my favorite too. I really love chicken adobo. I love tinapa too. I missed all Filipino foods. I just cook chicken ado, sinigang, or monggo when I missed Filipino foods. Luckily, there is a store where I can buy the recipe near in my house here in Korea. I missed the grilled tahong with butter. Hmmm. yummy. I can say that I love all Filipino foods.


myLot reputation of 77/100. kareendj (125)   ranked 426 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Hi jaja22! Thanks for the response:)) So you are based in Korea? That's such a good thing that there's a store nearby that sells Filipino recipes. I'm sure you get homesick sometimes and eating Filipino food would definitely make you feel closer to the Philippines! Have a great day!:))

Well, you've listed a lot of good Filipino food there. I think I'm hungry. Lol. I'll add some, Sweetened adobo is also good, the famous Sisig of Pampanga, and Crispy Pata!


myLot reputation of 77/100. kareendj (125)   ranked 426 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Hi there charmz1005!:)) That's a good list you got there. Sisig of Pampanga is actually quite different from what we eat here in Manila right?:)) I've tried Aling Lucings (who apparently was the one who invented it) and it was quite hmmm... mushy? Well, I don't know how to describe it but it's not crispy like those I have eaten here in Manila. Oh no, Crispy Pata. So goood with soy sauce, vinegar and onions.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2278)   ranked 56 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

yes sisig is also great & i also like it specially if its a little spicy!


myLot reputation of 96/100. charmz1005 (302)   ranked 1,844 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

This discussion makes me hungry. Yup, and Aling Lucing is now on heaven. Thanks to her we had a very known and delicious food. Many are trying to experiment things and try different styles. The Sisig here is not crispy but I've eaten some of them here, some used "tokwa" to be another ingredient but still I liked the original.:D


myLot reputation of 77/100. kareendj (125)   ranked 426 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

You're from Pangasinan then?:)) My parents hail from San Miguel, Bulacan which used to be part of Pampanga and our food there is somewhat like that of those in Pampanga. Yeah, I've heard about those tofu sisigs. Does it taste the same though? Also, I didnt know that she has died already? Does the sisig still taste the same? The Aling Lucing's I've tried was in Makati and I'm not really sure if it's the same in Pampanga.

wow! you are a true blue Filipino! haha... well i also like adobo, chicken-pork adobo! hmmmdrool specially with lots of garlic & with very little sauce...hmmm makes me hungry! the aroma is just appetizing!

but my real favorite is sinigang! specially shrimp sinigang... i just like its sour taste and a little chili...hehe & lechon manok! (roated/grilled chicken) haha i don't know but i really like chicken!
my husband loves kare -kare more than anything else!

i like dried fish & sinangag (fried rice) in the morning with coffee! haha

and also those street foods you mention i also like them... isaw (pork intestine) is one of my favorites but i don't usually buy on streets coz im afraid of the disease that i can get...i just bought those if i know the vendor & saw how it was prepared...and don't forget the kwek kwek! (quail eggs)


myLot reputation of 77/100. kareendj (125)   ranked 426 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Kare-Kare with Bagoong, OMG. I forgot about that, one of my favorites as well. Dried fish paired with Champorado's yummy as well. I also don't buy Isaw just about anywhere else. I buy it from my trusted vendors. Haha!:)) Kwek-kwek though I am not fond of ever since I knew that each quail egg is equivalent to one regular chicken egg.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2278)   ranked 56 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

hehe...high in cholesterol? haha but anyway, im just missing that one coz i think its been years since the last time i have that kwek kwek! hehe
champorado & dried fish during rainy days...hmmmm drool

Oooh I looove BOPIS (I think it's made out of pig's lungs... though I'm not sure.), I love the one served by Kamay Kainan! It's my ultimate fave. Also barbecued gizzard (baticolon) i love it! I also love isaw (chicken interstine), but only when there's no filling, sort of just the skin. Of course, lechon is also on the list, and chicken inasal, though it has to be the real thing, not those counterfeit Mang Inasal ones or whatever LOL!


myLot reputation of 77/100. kareendj (125)   ranked 426 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Hi mymelodake! thanks for the response. I haven't tried BOPIS though. How does it taste like?:))


myLot reputation of 97/100. mymelodake (892)   ranked 1,049 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Hmmm, I honestly cannot describe it accurately, but it's spicy for one thing. I think much of the flavor comes from the spices though and not the meat itself...


myLot reputation of 77/100. kareendj (125)   ranked 426 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Thanks mymelodake. Maybe, if I do one day have the courage to try pig's lungs, I'll try bopis. Haha:)) Have a great day!

happywow! those are my favorite food as well. and when ever it strikes around three of four in the evening, i would always try to go in the market and either buy some barbeque or bbq hotdog. or simply just buy fishballs and kikiam for cheap meal, it's really really cool and spicy at the same times, i like spicy food you knowlollol
