Welcome to this mouth-watering blog. Our goal in these posts is to show you our favorite filipino dishes as well as describe them to the best of our abilities to where the next thing you want to do after reading is run to a filipino store or a make a new filipino friend and hope he/she invites you home for dinner. Now we have more than just a couple favorites so look forward to this blog to have posts added frequently and as always if you guys have any requests or questions, comment and we will get back to you at our earliest convenience. Thanks and enjoy.

Sinigang

Yaaaaaaaay! My number one personal favorite Filipino dish. Sinigang has a tangy flavor that's backed up by soft and tender pork or chicken that just melts in your mouth and not in your bowl. Besides the fact that sinigang tastes sooo great a lot of Filipino's believe that the sauce is one of the best remedies for nasal decongestion and great for sore throats. Sinigang is one of the few meals that I will save and finish rather than throw away if there are leftovers especially the broth. Now just because this is my favorite and also the fact that it doesn't take long to make at all I give this dish a 10/10. Please take the time to try this if you haven't yet. Thanks and enjoy :)

Lumpia Rolls



Mmm-mmm! Great! You definitely don't have to be Filipino to know this treat. Lumpia is the Filipino version of the eggroll except we throw all kinds of things in there depending on your taste. You can just have ground beef and corn or even make it a type of dessert by throwing in diced sweet banana. Vegetable lovers can also make it so their lumpia contains just that with no meat and still have that good fried tasting meal. I'm not into vegetables myself so I'll stick to the meat filled and bananas for dessert myself. Being that this is a real popular finger food that's more addicting to pick-up and eat than a container of Pringles I give this a 9/10.

Pansit


Aahhh! Pansit is the type of dish you want to have when you want to just sit and relax and enjoy great tasting food. Definitely not the kind you can eat quick and run, pansit is made with angel hair like noodles, beef, chicken, pork, carrots, peppers, and lemon. You can also add other things to it or take some things out. One things for sure it's a meal that you want to take time and enjoy the taste. I like pansit because its a meal that tastes great both hot and warm. You know those dishes that just doesn't taste as great when it warms, well you don't have to worry about that here. My personal rating 8/10
