| Common Filipino Food |
| 28 August 2007 | Posted in Announcements, Home Cooking by Peachy Galias |
I honestly find it hard to describe Filipino food. I mean, I find it hard to put into words stuff like dinuguan, sinigang, and bagoong.
This is why I am writing this post. I came across a really helpful article to help all those who are having a hard time describing some of the most common Filipino foods. Here are some of the most popular Filipino foods that I find hard to describe. |
 |
Adobo. It is a stew of meat or vegetables cooked in soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar. |
|
Dinuguan. A thick stew of pork cooked with pig’s blood and tamarind or vinegar. |
|
Halo-halo. It is one of the most popular desserts in the country which consist of crushed ice, sweetened beans, fruits, and milk. |
|
Kare kare. It is a stew of ox tail or maybe even calf’s feet. The sauce is made with peanuts and it is eaten with fermented shrimp paste. |
|
Lechon. It is a roasted pig or chicken and is best when the skin is extra crunchy. |
|
Sinigang. A sour kind of soup that is mixed in with meat or fish and has tons of various vegetables. |
|
Bagoong. Fermented shrimp paste. Could also be fermented fish paste. During the summer months, green mangoes are eaten with this. |
|
Balut. It is fertilized duck egg that has been boiled just like how you would boil an ordinary egg. |
