Evolution of Traditional Filipino Dishes

     Common Filipino foods are still one of my favorite foods to search for. Those Filipino foods evolve giving the people unique taste. I’m going to share with you six Filipino foods that were transformed by different restaurants in the Philippines.

1. Crispy Dinuguan- Kanin Club

     This is what I order most of the time at carinderias. But it is not an ordinary dinuguan. It is crispy and the best-seller food in that restaurant.

2. Crispy Kare-kare- Classic Cuisine

     Kare-kare! Remisnds me of my childhood. I didn't eat kare-kare for a long time until I discovered this. Best matched with adobo rice.

3. Filipino Pork Liempo- TGI Friday’s

     Pork liempo served with java rice and vinegar. Not only the pork that taste good, but even the java rice that has a unique taste.

4. Fried Kesong-puti- Sentro

               

     Organic native cheese coated with breadcrumbs and deep-fried until golden brown. It is served with sweet chili guava sauce and garlic dip. We order it as an appetizer before moving to the main dish.

5. Fried Suman and Mangoes- Sentro

    

     Crispy fried suman topped with ripe mangoes and served with coco jam (Latik). I need to try this at home.

6. Sinigang na Corned Beef- Sentro

               

  
     Sounds weird? You’ve got to try it to believe it! It has a large serving. You can tell them how sour you want the soup would be.

 

     Some of these foods may sound weird, but you need to try it to believe how good it tastes. Give it a try! And be proud how Filipino transforms the traditional Filipino dishes.
