      with the exception of noodles, filipino dishes are cooked to be always paired with plain white rice. so when they eat it with rice, it elevates the flavor because the sauces are meant to flavor the rice. its only in the US that i see filams eating those dishes without rice.

      Yeah because most of these dishes are Spanish-related food. Philippines was conquered by Spaniards for 333 yrs. So therefore, they left their footprints in our country, the food, the language and some ways of living. So it's no surprise that you Mexicans would love Filipino food. Adobo(from Pollo de Adobar- but just the name. Because it looks something similar to Spanish food), lechon kawali, chicharon, sisig, those food were just cooked to suit the Filipino palette but they're influenced by the Spaniards.

    That sisig needs to come out on a sizzling plate. Man these Mexican dads would love the fusion Mexican-Filipino restaurants we have in the Philippines. Kare-kare burritos, sisig tacos, sisig burritos, adobo nachos, kaldereta birria. They should know we like to put toppings of crushed chicharron on pancit palabok, or batchoy noodle soup. The best panciterias also have pancit con lechon, which is pancit with lechon kawali on top. We also have chicken skin chicharon at night markets and just all other kinds of chicharon like chicharon bulaklak (ruffle fat), chicharon bituka (chicken esophagus), etc. Sad that US Filipino restaurants don't offer those.

    While most Filipino dishes you can just eat it as it is and pair it with rice to cut the saltiness, kare kare is one of those dishes that you need to explain to people how to eat properly cause it could be a hit or miss. Without the shrimp paste, the stew itself is usually bland, while adding too much shrimp paste could overpower the taste..

      Or mix a little _bagoong_ into the stew while cooking itself. Idk why but I don't like kare-kare without bagoong cooked into the stew. The bagoong gives it a bit of a oomph without making it overly salty. To me, it's like cooking something without MSG or bay leaf: you may not notice it when it's there, but you will notice when it's _not_ there.

      Not to mention that there are several shrimp paste (bagoong) recipes that go really well with Kare-kare depending on the person's preference of taste. Some like salt and sweet taste of some shrimp paste while others like just the salty ones. That's why Kare-kare is really hit or miss if you don't know what the preference of the person tasting it is.

    Protip for spicy - Filipinos do spicy vinegar for dipping, usually coconut vinegar but can be any vinegar, mixed with fresh chopped chilis, garlic and onion. Some even crack some black pepper into it. Serve with ANY deep-fried Filipino food. I prefer this sauce over the sweet and sour for lumpia.
    If you got either bird's eye chili or siling labuyo, you are set. If not, serranos do well as a substitute (imo) - good balance between the freshness of the pepper and a strong spicy heat.

    Kare Kare is the kind of dish you have to explain to someone who doesn’t know how to actually eat it. Its definitely hit or miss food coz It’s bland in taste so you have to eat it with the shrimp paste- and it’s now up to your preference how salty you want it to be-
    And you can experiment with the shrimp paste as well, I preferred it to be cooked spicy with a hint of sweetness!!

    For sisig, actually the correct citrus fruit to use it with is calamansi, which I understand is very hard to come by outside Southeast Asia or even the Philippines, so lemon is like the very far best substitute to it, which explains why one of the dads did not like it for the sisig. Calamansi is a citrus fruit not eaten on its own, but makes for great seasoning for certain food such as pancit, and as juice. Calamansi juice works effectively for flu and colds.

I was curious but suddenly, some guys in a table next to me (it was a food festival) started talking to me in English and they told me they approved of the food, so I told them "if real filipinos approve this food, then it means it's authentic filipino food". It was AMAZING. No idea the name of the dishes, but the "standard combo" included deep-fried dumplings, noodles with pork and vegetables, and rice with a special sauce. Looking forward to this next Saturday because I'm totally going to the last edition of the year of that food festival and I got totally addicted to filipino food.

      Yup! Interestingly, history books further indicate that some of the 🇵🇭Filipino ⚓sailors aboard the ⛵Spanish galleons, circa 1620s, wound up settling in Acapulco, Guerrero state, Mexico🇲🇽. Their descendants still remain & have assimilated & miscegenated with the locals & local culture.
      Because the Philippine Islands (P.I.) is a crossroads in Southeast Asia...The food & spice connection is also fascinating: adobo (derived from "adobar", Spanish, "to marinate"), ensaimada (Ensaimada de Mallorca, similar to French brioche), arroz caldo (similar to Chinese congee), "empanada" (baked or fried half-moon hand-pie/turnover with various sweet or savory fillings common in Spain, Southern Europe, Latin American countries, the Philippines; "curry puff"\"kari puff"/"karipap" (Nyonya) in Malaysia/Singapore/Brunei/Indonesia/Thailand/Myanmar/India("samosa"), or in Brazil empada, empadão/empadinha depending on the size), or pastel (Portugal); "kare kare" (a slight derivation of Indian curry), "Lumpiang Shanghai" [variations also found in Indonesia, China (Fujian version, "Popiah"), & Vietnam]; "polvorón" (Spanish & Filipino shortbread cookies), "bistek" (derived from Spanish bistec, or English "beefsteak"), "lechón" (roast or fire-pit suckling pig in Spain & Portugal, Polynesia, the Philippines, Guam-Chamorro), achiote/annatto (originated in the Americas/Caribbean, & is used as a flavor, medicinal, & coloring agent in Filipino, Asian, Central American, Latin, & Western foods) are a few examples.
