My family loves this dish. Even my picky American wife likes it and definitely a favorite among Filipinos. It is somewhat pricey for most families to serve on their table all the time, but it sure is a treat when they do. I have eaten this dish many times, but I liked it even more [...]

There are only a few Filipino I have met that didn’t care for this particular dish. A lot of times people judge this dish before tasting it.

White steamed rice, fish sauce with calamansi, and thai chili peppers for condiments makes this dish a true wonder when it comes to lunch time.

For this episode of Lasang Pinoy I was honored to be invited by Kai to participate in the 24th episode.

Well, fall season is here in America and winter is just around the corner. Having said that for most of us Filipinos here in the U.S. or abroad our bodies are starting to look for something warm to eat to compensate for the cold weather outside. So, of course, what is better to have than [...]

Filipino Fried Wings v.2

I almost forgot how much I love this dish. When I was a kid and until now this dish is still my choice of fried food when I want something quick and of course delicious. This is pretty similar to fried adobo except this does not have vinegar and bay leaf. Most of the time when [...]
