You think snacks are unhealthy? That doesn’t apply to Filipino products! The Manila-based manufacturer Leslie, founded in 1960, adds vitamins to snacks! This Cheezy Corn Crunch is loaded with vitamin B! The taste is simply hard and bold, like Cheetos. Eat to your heart’s content with San Miguel Light and stay healthy!
Beer can be competitive beyond just taste. One of the Philippine beers, San Miguel Light, is extremely light and almost like water. Too light to enjoy on its own, but this lightness is essential. It only has 100 calories, so you can add more food without guilt, the secret plot of the restaurants (conspiracy theory).
Can’t stop eating and drinking even back at the hotel. A San Miguel beer as a lullaby. Also popular with women, this lemon-flavored beer has a low alcohol content of 3%, making it easy to chug like a sweet juice. But for Japanese, the sweetness is a bit strong, surpassing beer itself. But I’m happy, so it’s okay.
Found cheap and delicious offal! Isaw Baboy, grilled pork intestines. Equivalent to Japanese Shiro Hormone. With a light bite, the meat juices burst out like fruit, mixing with the sweet and spicy sauce. It’s like eating slow-cooked motsunabe. This deliciousness for about 60 yen is surprising. The Philippines has captured my stomach, just like the offal (motsu)!
When unsure about a recommendation, look at the person. White corn boiled dish, Binatog, has a texture like cooked beans when bitten. Following the recommendation, I added milk, coconut, and sugar. It was extremely sweet, and I regretted it, realizing the shopkeeper was Filipino.
Cold days call for hot tofu with jam. Setsuko, that’s not hot tofu; it’s Taho. In Baguio, Philippines, which is cold due to its high altitude, warm Taho is common. The sweet taste of Ube jam, like sweet potato, pairs well with the hot, soft tofu. The small tapioca pearls at the bottom add texture, creating a perfect balance in this dessert!
Whew! The cathedral shrouded in Midnight fog. A vivid red silhouette moves, and it’s unmistakably him. Cobra, the masculine energy drink. Though it’s medicinal, its gentle low carbonation makes it go down smoothly. One sip makes you want to lay your bones in the Philippines.
Sweetness is challenging, as I realized eating Roti Canai. It’s crispy, fragrant, and has a hotcake-like sweetness. The curry sauce is also quite sweet, leading to a slight clash. Hmm, what makes a good sweetness? Pondering sweetness for a while. By the way, philosophy is handy. It helps eliminate the desires of sweet cravings and calmly appreciate the goodness of food culture. Alright, bring on the sugar!
Can’t stand pineapple in sweet and sour pork? You’ll love pomelo salad! The bright pinkish-red plump fruit touches the tongue with a cool, juicy, sweet and sour burst! Surprisingly, this fruit goes perfectly with salty dressing, crunchy carrots, and chewy shrimp. Pineapple haters in sweet and sour pork, it’s time to move to Southeast Asia!
Foods with sound are delicious. Arriving at Baguio at 5 AM, it was very cold, so I bought Cloud9 chocolate, which signifies bliss. The texture is crispy and melty, like a nut-free, low-sugar Snickers. Foods with sounds like “crisp” and “melt” tend to be delicious, in my opinion.
