Lumpiang Togue: A Crispy and Healthy Filipino Favorite

Craving something crunchy yet healthy? Lumpiang Togue, or Bean Sprout Spring Rolls, is a delicious, nutrient-packed Filipino dish that hits all the right spots. These fried spring rolls are filled with fresh bean sprouts, vegetables, and sometimes a bit of ground meat or tofu, offering a balance of crunch and savory flavors.

Ingredients:

- Bean sprouts (togue)

- Carrots (julienned)

- Green beans (sliced thinly)

- Garlic and onions

- Ground pork or tofu (optional)

- Lumpia wrapper

- Soy sauce and fish sauce

- Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Method:

Start by sautéing garlic and onions in a pan until fragrant. Add the ground pork (or tofu) and cook until lightly browned. Stir in the carrots and green beans, then add the bean sprouts last to keep them crunchy. Season with soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Once the filling is cooked, let it cool before wrapping it in lumpia wrappers. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with a side of vinegar dipping sauce for that perfect tangy complement!

Lumpiang Togue is a great snack or side dish, loved for its fresh, crunchy interior and crispy exterior. It’s light, satisfying, and perfect for any occasion!

Manam Comfort Filipino, Greenhills: A cozy culinary hourney through Filipino comfort food

One of the things I look forward to every weekend is Sunday brunch with the fam. After attending mass, we usually enjoy a meal at restaurant that gives us a welcome break from our usual lutong-bahay viands and fast-food delivery fare. One particular Sunday gave me the chance to revisit Manam Comfort Filipino. During my pre-pandemic era, I enjoyed a HappyLunch at its Trinoma branch with my…

one of my coworkers is from the phillipines and we were talking about food and i asked him about balut and he said the flavour is very rich and almost creamy?

LOL omg if someone paid me like, idk, $100 dollars to try it, i would. otherwise, no. i love animals and seeing that poor lil baby fetus all dead inside the lil egg does not look appetizing. but i love filipino culture and people tho, i just would not try balut! hahaha.

"Sweet Nostalgia in a Cup"

Taho is more than just a breakfast food in the Philippines. It's a warm, comforting memory of early mornings and the familiar call of the taho vendor echoing through the streets. It's a taste of home, a little slice of Filipino nostalgia.

The creamy tofu, the sweet syrup (arnibal), and the chewy tapioca pearls (sago) create a symphony of textures and flavors that always satisfy.

When I was a kid, taho was a simple treat. But now, there are many new kinds! I tried strawberry taho recently, and it was delicious. It still tasted like the taho I loved as a child, but the strawberry added a fresh, exciting touch. The sweetness of the strawberry blended perfectly with the sugar in the syrup, and it wasn't too sweet. It was a fun new way to enjoy a classic.

Whether it's the familiar comfort of the original taho or the exciting twist of new flavors, this Filipino treat continues to bring joy and warmth to every generation. Taho is a reminder that simple pleasures can be the most satisfying, and that a little bit of nostalgia can always make life sweeter.🤎

Adobo:My favorite food

Filipino food

Adobo (4.3 stars) came in 81st place, beating France’s Fondue Savoyarde in 85th place, China’s Kung Pao chicken in 86th, and Italy’s puttanesca, which was in 92nd place. Taste Atlas mentioned that the one of the “best adobo” can be found in Manila’s Cafe Adriatico. They also described the salty-sour meat staple as the “closest thing to a national dish in the Philippines,” consisting of browned chunks of meat (usually pork and/or chicken, sometimes seafood), mixed with white vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaves, garlic, salt, sugar, oil, and black pepper.

Adobo: The Filipino staple that’s never quite the same

“The combination of these ingredients is left to simmer over low heat, resulting in succulent, juicy, and tender ingredients covered in thick, rich, and savory sauce. Adobo got its name from the Spanish word adobar, meaning marinade or pickling sauce,” Taste Atlas wrote, also nothing that there are a number of varieties of the dish – from spicy, mild, to saucy, or dry versions. Additional ingredients can also be added, such as onions, ginger, lemongrass, chili peppers, atsuete, and/or coconut milk.

Books I Read in 2024

Arsenic and Adobo

In typical Filipino fashion, my aunt expressed her love not through words of encouragement or affectionate embraces, but through food.

Food was how she communicated. Food was how she found her place in the world. When someone rejected her food, they were really rejecting her heart. It crushed her.
