FAVORITE FOOD

PORK SINIGANG:

Pork Sinigang or Sinigang na Baboy is a sour soup native to the Philippines. This particular soup dish uses pork as the main ingredient though beef, shrimp, fish, and even chicken can be used. Bony parts of the pig known as “buto-buto” are usually preferred for this dish.

There are several ingredients that can be used as souring agent. The most common and widely used is the "sampaloc".

I grew-up eating pork sinigang with a saucer of "patis". Hehehe!

PORK ADOBO WITH BOILED EGGS:

As we all know, Pork Adobo has been one of the favorite Filipino Recipes. In adobo, which is the manner of cooking this dish, has been regarded as a traditional method of cooking meat and vegetables. This Pork Adobo Recipe is another unique version of the same dish that all of us love.

What make this dish stand out are not the eggs. I must admit that having boiled eggs with pork adobo is a good idea. 

Aside from having a good taste, the secret in preparing the best adobo dish is all in the meat. Make sure that the pork is as tender as it can be. You can simmer the pork for about 1 hour to make it tender and to extract the entire porky flavor.

GINATAANG TILAPIA:

Ginataan is a Filipino cooking method that means “cooked in coconut milk”. Ginataang Tilapia is a dish where Tilapia is cooked in coconut milk. This method is popularized by the Bicolanos.

There are many other ingredients that can be cooked with Coconut milk but my taste buds are craving for Tilapia as of the moment. I can’t wait to put my hands on this yummy fish.

KARE-KARE:

Kare Kare is a traditional Filipino stew complimented with a thick savory peanut sauce. Besides the peanuts, this dish depends on the shrimp paste in order to be fully enjoyed.

BEEF CALDERETA:

One of my favorite Filipino dishes is the Kaldereta or Caldereta. It is a hearty meat dish using beef, or pork combined with potatoes, carrots, tomato sauce, and liver spread or liver paste. This is a popular dish served during special occasions and a regular in every Filipino cookbook. My family loves Beef Kalderata. As special at it may seem, preparing something like this takes some time and patience but it is all worth the wait.
