What is your favorite ‘ulam’? Filipinos love good food. And we’re blessed to have a well-rounded cuisine with a variety of dishes to choose from.
There’s something spicy, something sweet and sour, something salty, something refreshing, something ma-umami. There’s always something for everyone!
Among these dishes, what’s frequenting your dining table?
The best thing about Filipino dishes is that they are not complicated to prepare. The ingredients are readily available in the local market and once these dishes are cooked, they’re simply satisfying!
These are the yummiest Filipino dishes we all love.
Adobong manok – nothing beats the simple goodness of this dish
Bicol express – actually, this is my dad’s version and he’d rather call it Batangas express since it’s not extremely hot and he’s added some twists to Bicol’s star of dishes
Gulay na balatong (munggo) – this is a carinderia staple. Simple, inexpensive, Pinoy na pinoy! Perfect if paired with something fried like this chicken fillet or crispy fried tawilis!
Chicken tinola – comforting chicken dish that’s best for cold months. Sabaw pa lang, ulam na!
Gulay na mais na may malunggay at kalabasa – looking for something healthy and tasty? This one’s on top of the list of local vegetable soups here in the Philippines.
Beef caldereta – one of the tastiest and most flavorful dishes in the Filipino cuisine
Pininyahang manok – simply put, chicken with pineapple. Perfect summer dish! The pineapple chunks add sweetness to this meal.
Pork adobo – ang tunay na dugong Pinoy, hindi tatanggi sa adobo!
Sinigang na baboy – another dish to comfort our tummy when the weather’s freezing cold. Because of its tangy flavor, this one is best if you’re sick and your taste buds are kind of sleeping. 🙂
Beef and mushroom stew – does not seem too Pinoy, right? But this one’s another easy to prepare dish you should try at home.
Hungry? Prepare any of this today! 😉
