These spring rolls/eggrolls/lumpia were not made by me. A friend made it for a picnic gathering, and we all partook of the delicious fruits of her hard work. I have featured lumpia in a previous post, though rice paper was used there. You can follow the same recipe, but use spring roll […]
Bistek, for “beef steak”, is a favorite Filipino dish. It is typically made using tender steak cuts, sliced thinly and marinated in soy sauce and kalamansi, then fried briefly as to maintain tenderness, and served with onions (and sometimes, potatoes) — also fried — along with its marinade, reduced to a syrupy salty sauce. […]
If you’re lucky enough to be in Manila, I suggest you visit Marketman’s post on lechon to get “the real thing”.
For those of us who need to content ourselves with the homemade version, you can find recipes at All Favorite Recipe, dyaryoboy, and Pinoy Cook.
Mine is simply made with pork shoulder […]
Pandesal is a Filipino bread characterized by its size and shape, but mostly by the crumbs that hug its exterior. Straight from the oven, the thin crust can vary, depending on the maker and the recipe, and ranges from crisp and substantial to soft and pillowy. But always, the salty grittiness of the […]
This fresh spring roll is one of my favorite spring/summer dishes. It can be served warm or at room temperature, or even cold; and because it’s individually wrapped you can choose to eat it with your hands. Bring it in a basket to the park for a delicious change to your usual picnic […]
Lasang Pinoy 18 is being hosted by Toni of Wifely Steps. The theme?
Oh My Gulay!
Gulay is the Filipino word for “vegetable”. (See Toni’s post for a more detailed explanation of the expression.) So if there’s a Pinoy vegetable dish you love, or any type of vegetable dish cooked the Pinoy way, come […]
Maricar at Filipina Soul posted about two restaurants in Philadelphia, PA. We ate at one of them pre-blogging days, but the other one — Cebu — is new to me. Note to self: gotta try that one next time we’re in Philly! I hope they have lechon! Whoops… just […]
Today’s post is a contribution to the 17th edition of Lasang Pinoy, a monthly food blogging event highlighting everything that’s yummy about Filipino (Pinoy) food. Angelo of Eat Matters is hosting, and LP is back on after a brief hiatus caused by hurricanes and busy lives :D; so it’s unquestionably appropriate that the EGG […]

Pork hocks, simmer ’til tender (but not falling apart) in water, bay leaves, aromatics like onions, carrots and celery if you like, a few peppercorns, just a bit of salt. Drain, and allow to somewhat dry overnight in the refrigerator, on a colander or rack for maximum air circulation. Deep-fry or oven-roast on […]
