FILIPINO STYLE DINNERS

It's a popular cuisine, Filipino foods are gaining popularity in lots of metro locales around the country, Vietnamese, Thai and Indian foods are popular too. A watered down version of Filipino foods with less fish sauce (Patis) and easy on spices can make eating this type of food easy to digest.

Call for a dinner at home, some of the popular Filipino dishes:

Pinacbet: Slow cooked pork, with ginger and garlic, tomatoes, eggplants, onions, fresh green beans, and other greens, and of course the fish sauce is utilized, this is when you really need to air out your house and spray some Lysol, but if you are familiar with this dish, you know it's actually very tasty, I've seen friends that cringed when they got a whiff of this, but once they took time to get familiar with this dish or any Filipino dish, they started to buy it regularly for lunch or dinner.

Lumpia: Deep fried egg rolls, crispy rolls with variety of fillings, pork, chicken, bananas, and dipped in a vinegar based sauce or fish sauce.

Dinuguan: Hogs Blood stew, that's right, real pig's blood is used for this slow pork braised dish, hints of chives, bay leaves, vinegar, garlic, ginger.

Lechon: Roasted pork.

Chicharones: Deep fried pork bellies, crispy and sliced thick with a fish sauce dip or vinegar dip

Pansit: A Filipino type of noodle dish, like a chow mein from the Chinese, with hints of garlic, chives, annato seeds. Pork, beef, chicken can be used or tofu for a vegan pansit.

Halo Halo: a dessert made with lots of fruit and chilled with ice cream or cream, hints of coconuts, and pineapples.
