LAING

It might look super appetizing but laing is a wonderful dish from the Bicol region of the Philippines, an area that specializes in all dishes cooked in coconut milk.

TAPSILOG

Filipino breakfasts will always be my favourite. And who knew how simple they were to make? Tapsilog is no different. A nice overnight marinade, thrown onto the stove in the morning, and fried up with some sunny side up eggs. Always.

MENUDO GINILING

Menudo giniling: Filipino stew with carrots, potatoes, green peas, minced meat, raisins and liver. Don’t knock it til you try it - it was one of my favourites growing up!

POQUI POQUI

In need of a new breakfast idea? Try poqui poqui. It’s a Filipino scrambled egg dish with mashed eggplant and tomato. Lots of aromatics involved here and it’s very delicious with a bowl of garlic rice! Who says you need meat at breakfast time?

CALLOS

I’ve finally took the chance and made my dad’s recipe for callos, the Spanish-Filipino dish consisting of tripe, pork hock, chick peas and chorizo in a tomato sauce. Total comfort food.

BINAGOONGAN

Binagoongan is such a classic Filipino dish. Fermented shrimp paste, a little heat, and a lot of rice to go with it.

CHICKEN ADOBO

It’s been possibly a decade since I have made chicken adobo. 10 years is a long time. It’s a mashup between my mother’s, my friend Michelle’s and my own version of this classic Filipino dish. So much better than the original!

GINATAAN KALABASA AT SITAW

Woot, another Filipino dish I can cross off the list! Who knew how easy Filipino dishes are to make from scratch? I made ginataan kalabasa at sitaw - a butternut squash and long bean stew cooked in coconut milk and shrimp paste.

ARROZ CALDO

I was going to make congee but I’ve done that so many times before. I thought why not make arroz caldo, a Filipino rice porridge filled with delicious aromatics like ginger, garlic and onions. It’s the best thing on a cold, rainy day and the only thing I want to eat when I’m sick. It certainly helps that this recipe is easy as pie.

PANCIT PALABOK

Pancit palabok is my favourite noodle dish in Filipino cuisine. I had this a lot growing up cut my aunt always made it for parties and as you’d expect, it’d always be the first dish to be finished. I decided to try my hand at making it from scratch without a mix or shrimp bouillon and it was a little challenging…but I did it, yay!
