what to eat when you are in manila

Manila manila manila!

Traveling is so much fun! Especially when you get to try something new! =)
I will now tell you what you should try when you arrive in the Philippines.
Don't worry! The food that I am going to recommend are all cooked.
hahaha If you are paranoid that the street food might be dirty then at least try it out at a restaurant okay?
This is a partial list, I shall add more later on.

1. BALUT! - boiled duck egg. oh yes, this is good! if you're lucky you might even get to buy balut from the vendor walking down the streets at night shouting "baluuuuuuuuuuut!". Crack the egg a little bit from the top, then sip the juice then eat the rest! Good with rock salt.

2. Dinuguan - maybe i should leave the ingredients as a surprise. haha. order this dish from a restaurant like Aristocrat (you must go there and try the delicious Chicken Barbeque!) or you can also order Dinuguan from other Filipino restuarants.

3. ADOBO - this is probably the dish you wouldn't hesitate to try. Ingredients- chicken and/or pork, soy sauce, etc. just basic cooking ingredients nothing out of the ordinary BUT it is still DELICIOUS. ADOBO FLAKES are good too! This is a variation of the usual adobo. Some Spanish restaurants sell adobo flakes too (Like Mingoy's for breakfast)

more to come later! =)
