----------
FILIPINOS' LOVE THE GOOD LIFE AND GOOD FOOD. DINING IN THE
PHILIPPINES IS AN TOTALLY NEW EXPERIENCE. THE FILIPINO
PALATE IS VERY COSMOPOLITAN AND THERE ARE MANY RESTAURANTS
IN MANILA, SERVING FOOD OF ALL KINDS AT ALL PRICES.
TYPICAL MEALS
-------------
PHILIPPINES DISHES ARE NOT AS SPICY AS SOME OTHER ASIAN
DISHES. THE BEST INTRODUCTION TO PHILIPPINES CUISINE IS THE
ADOBO, A CHICKEN STEW AND PORK IN GARLIC, SOY SAUCE,
VINEGAR AND LAUREL LEAVES. A FAVOURITE SOUP DISH IS
SINIGANG, A SOUR BROTH OF VEGETABLES, MEAT AND SHRIMP.
OTHER COMMON DISHES ARE:
KARE-KARE -A STEW OF VEGETABLES AND MEAT IN A PEANUT SAUCE.
THE LECHON - A WHOLE PIG STUFFED WITH LEAVES AND ROASTED
OVER A CHARCOAL FIRE.
RICE IS THE STAPLE FOOD OF THE FILIPINOS, AND IS SERVED IN
GENEROUS HEAPS.
THE SEAFOOD IS EXTREMELY COMMON, AND IS BETTER RAW IN A
VINAIGRETTE, OR MARINATED IN COCONUT MILK.
DESSERTS: THERE ARE MANY SWEETS AND CAKES TO CHOOSE FROM,
INCLUDING THE DELICIOUS RICE BASED BIBINGKA.
TYPICAL DRINKS
--------------
JUICES, SOFT DRINKS AND LIQUEURS ARE AS EXCELLENT. THE BEER
IS VERY TASTY AND IS CALLED SAN MIGUEL BEER. PHILIPPINE
RUM IS ALSO VERY GOOD.
