Bulalo is good. And of course so is fried lumpia. I like sinigang too. Uhhh... Their adobo is nice but usually pretty salty. Pancit noodles are a good side, plenty of flavor. And kids always love their spaghetti.

Sisig and lechon are also great. I am more than happy for /ck/ to keep pushing the meme that Filipino food sucks so that it stays cheap. Last thing I need is for it to become the next Reddit meme and drive up the prices because all the hipsters start eating it.

what are some good Filipino dishes?

[Anonymous No.19344187]

>>19344160
Adobo, salpicao, sisig, lechon, bulalo, sinigang and their bbq comes to mind. They don't really have anything amazing in terms of dessert, halo-halo is so varied some of them can be decent. Don't bother with their versions of Western food. Due to a lack of easy access to proper Western ingredients they're never as good.

for me, it's the Filipino breakfast, tosilog or longsilog. It's really basic but I guess that's what makes it classy? Like I'm a hapa Jap-Flip that grew up stateside and it's difficult to find Filipino food "classy" but it does make great bar food (pulutan). The exception IMO is tosilog, as I said, it's basic af, just garlic fried rice, anise seasoned meat, either tapa (slice of beef) or longanisa (anise seasoned chorizo), and a fried egg. It's the dish that combines Eastern and Western influences of the Philippines.

[Anonymous No.19344238]

>>19344230
Tapa is pretty good. Longanisa is hit or miss depending on the variety.

It's the same inferiority complex blacks have, except they have the intellect to articulate it in very funny ways. Not sure why they have one, though. Must be the small penis meme.

Not really true, the precursors to many of their dishes already existed before the Spanish showed up. They were using vinegar to preserve food and already had adobo and other similar dishes. The only Spanish influence in that dish is the bay leaf (which half this board would tell you doesn't do anything anyway)

i guess they sometimes use anatto seeds, which also does nothing.
i think tomato sauces are more common than the rest of south east asia, but not like we say indian cuisine is mexican/spanish influenced when they use tomato or chili, and we don't say pizza and spaghetti with tomato sauce are spanish-mexican influenced.
i think the spanish/mexican influence are more seen in desserts.

yeah, the name tamarind means indian date, which is how i suspected it's old world. the non-hispanic countries also use its different levels of ripeness. when it's really green it can be made into a kind of dipping sauce even including the seeds and skin. i've seen some snack on it green with just a dip. when i got green tamarind at the filipino store the wagie told me its used especially for cooking sinigang to make it more sour.

It's not so much that I really care what people "think," but I can somewhat anticipate people changing their behavior around me for the worse if I come back to work and I'm like, "I enjoyed the past few weeks in Manila" or whatever.

no no, plenty of poors eat it off the street, but from my experience a lot of people who aren't in poverty cannot stand it. not just the smell and look but the idea of eating a fetus cannot be ignored by those people. some people even look down upon those who do eat it, from a morality standpoint (like my mom)

I am not sure if it's just because there's heaps of Philippinos in America (and so you guys are exposed to more of their food) but Philippino food is easily the bottom 3-4 of South East Asia .
The undisputable trifecta is Malaysian(all ethnicities so kinda cheating), Thai, Viet.
All others might have a couple of dishes here or there but essentially not as refined as a cuisine.

[Anonymous No.19351610]

>>19351565
when you go to a thai restaurant it's food not for thai people but for westerns to want to go to thailand. the same to an extent with viet, which is why a lot of viet restaurants just specialize in pho or bahn mi. filipino places are for filipinos who want a taste of home, even the disgusting ones.
it's actually easier to get into thai food because there are so many restaurants even in places without thai community and because they've narrowed the menu down to ones they know will sell to westerners instead of a nearly non-existent thai community.
