I HAVE A HUGE FAVOR TO ASK ALL OF MARKETMANILA’S REGULAR READERS… PLEASE READ THIS POST AND LEAVE A COMMENT WITH YOUR TOP 10 PINOY FOOD FAVORITES!!! I’D LIKE TO HEAR FROM AT LEAST 100 OF YOU, THINK WE CAN MANAGE THAT? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Happy Independence Day!!! This holiday is generally a non-event here in the Philippines… Why that is, I am not really certain. Is it because the date is contentious, being one of at least 4 or 5 dates that we could have legitimately used as our “Independence Day?!†Or is it because the local school year is just starting up and everyone is bummed that the summer has reached an end? Is it because the weather is often in between the hot summer and the wet monsoon season? We don’t seem to have a tradition of a large family get together, a special meal, or even a special food that is associated with Independence Day. On our street, we are the only home proudly flying a Philippine Flag! Perhaps the President will lay a wreath at the Rizal monument and some canons will let loose but that’s about it… I read once somewhere that the meal served at the Malolos constitution or one of the dates when we declared Independence was made up of a long list of European dishes, fancy shmancy things with difficult to pronounce French names. Outrageous! Shouldn’t we have been munching on something more Filipino, perhaps??? Having said that, the photo above is of an Independence cake that my daughter made herself. She thought we should do SOMETHING for Independence day and even dragged me out to the grocery to get the toppings… Unfortunately, there were no local red and blue fruits so it’s about as Western a cake as you can get with raspberries and blueberries…but it’s the thought that counts, right?…
So this made me think. If we were to put out a food spread on Philippine Independence Day…what would/should it include? What Top 10 Pinoy dishes would make it onto the table? Let’s not include desserts or kakanins for the moment and let’s focus on soups, salads, meats, fish, starches, etc. I know it’s a difficult task to find the Top 10 but I want to hear what you all have to say. But more than what should be on the table, what would you personally want on the table? What are your 10 most favorite Pinoy or Pinoy-ized dishes? I thought this would be easy to answer and I asked my wife and daughter to help me with our list but it kept getting longer and longer! Picking out the Top 10 was REALLY hard to do… I seek your answers to this question for another reason as well – if a dish makes it onto our list, but I have not yet featured it on this blog, I will try to hunt down or test a recipe and make sure I keep a running list of Pinoy favorites! My archives have a lot of stuff that I like to eat and here are some of the dishes that would make it onto my Top 10 (or 20) list. I’d probably have some kinilaw (tanguigue, malasugi or even dilis) to start with a nice cold San Miguel Beer. Others might pick sisig, some chicharon or kuhol sa gata. Sinigang na sugpo using sampalok is a house favorite, but other soups that we like include sinigang na bayabas, nilagang baka, pesang manok, sinampalukang manok, chicken binakol or Marketman’s stylized version of pinikpikan. There are lots of local salads that would make it but if I had to choose just one, it would probably be an eggplant and tomato salad (best with sinugba), though tomato and red egg, green mango with bagoong or even an ampalaya salad would be close behind. Arrgh, I forgot to include a fresh lumpia ubod up top with the appetizers… I love bistek tagalog made with a LOT of kalamansi, pork adobo, fried bangus, sinugbang spareribs, crispy pata and paksiw na lechon (more than lechon itself). Grilled fish or other seafood are up there as well. For vegetables, a fiery laing would be nice, but what about pinakbet, munggo or sitaw and kalabasa in gata? And I haven’t even started with the noodles…a pancit or sotanghon of some kind, dried fish or lamayo, tapa, tocino or longganisa… Yikes, is it impossible to pick just 10? What would be on your list? Help!!!

Hi, another lurker here. Nice Phil. flag cake (kudos to your daughter). About that challenge, hmmm… here are my favorites,
1. Sinigang na baboy
2. Lumpiang sariwa

Here’s my top ten.
1. Pritson – Lechon de leche deep fried to a crisp, chopped and served in soft tortillas with different kinds of sauces to everyone’s taste. I like the one with Hoisin sauce. It’s the new way of eating lechon. You could order from the Esguerra’s at 09185318851. Yum! We usually have this during family celebrations.
2. Inasal Chicken- The petso please! But if they could come us with the whole chicken cooked the inasal way, that could replace my turkey anytime. I’m crazy over JT’s and J-jay’s chicken Inasal. It so juicy. Don’t even try the Kenny Roger’s version, what the heck were they thinking, it doesn’t even come close!
3. Chicken or Pork Adobo – I think if there’s a National dish… this should be the one. I even like it flaked.
4. Steamed Crabs – No fancy flavoring but plainly steamed keeping the juices in and eaten the Filipino way, with vinegar, garlic and sili.
5. Green Mangoes, Tomatoes and Bagoong. – A classic sidings to any Filipino dish.
6. Kare-kare. -Yum! You should try the new Seafood version too.
7. Rellenong Bangus. – But just be sure to remove all the fishbone.
8. Sinigang na sugpo. – Maasim enough to make you smile. And with lots of kangkong.
9. Bistek Tagalog – With lots of sauce and cooked til tender.
10. Pancit Malabon = A Filipino celebration wouldn’t be complete without pancit. However you want it, it just has to be on that buffet table.

I love the dish Paete, Laguna locals called “Minanok” This dish is made of grilled eggplant mixed with juice squeezed from partly burned coconut meat seasoned with salt,garlic and vinegar or dayap juice. This is eaten as the condiment salsa. It’s good with grilled (in coconut husk) kanduli (catfish). I’ve lived with my family in California for the past 27 years. Thank you for maintaining your very interesting and enjoyable website.

My thinking as to why Independence Day is no big deal here is that we never really were independent after 1946. we were ‘given’ it by the americans. we didn’t earn our independence through any sort of military victory as is the norm.
(Indeed in 1898-1901, the US aborted our real revolution against 400 years of Spanish rule by conniving with the waning Spanish empire and becoming our new rulers, in the process killing off 10% of our then population of 7M– that’s 700,000 men, women and children– in the horrendous [but conveniently underreported] Phil-American War, the first major war of the 20th century. Many of the atrocities committed and torture techniques used by the Americans in Vietnam were first tried out in the Philippines more than half a century earlier in America’s quest for empire.)
Also, after we were ‘allowed’ independence after WW2 the americans made sure that the old colonial unbalanced relationship was still in place by enacting extremely one-sided trade pacts, such as the Laurel-Langley agreement, which basically allowed the Yanks to exploit our resources without allowing Filipinos access to theirs.
As late as 1991 the Americans were still interfering in our affairs, mainly to protect their precious military bases. Thank God for the Pinatubo eruption. That, plus our Senate’s wholesale rejection of the Bases Agreement, did the trick.
To this day the American legacy remains strong, what with so many Filipinos still dying to reach American shores for better economic opportunities, and not a few pinoys actually still believing that the Yanks are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Thankfully, the rest of the world is more objective, and disagrees.

Happy Independence Day to All!
Gonzo,
Thanks for that historical tidbit. ;o)
MM,
I think independence day is too… uhhmm political as a term. And besides, there will always be the contention on whether its actually June 12, 1898 or July 4, 1946. In any case, I’d like to think Independence day’ more beyond its historic-political significance but as a celebration of our country and being Filipino. I think the term National Day applies better. But I digress. Here is my answer to your post.
1. Orangge Sotanghon Soup
2. Chicken curry with Gata
3. Sinigang sa Sugpo
4. Pinakebet with Bagoong
5. Binagoonang Baboy
6. Bicol Express
7. Ensaladang Talong
8. Sinangag at Tuyo (with suka)
9. Kapampangan longanisa with chili suka
10. Mami
ayan kakapost ko pa lang may naalala na ako agad. eto pa:
kare-kare, dinuguan, sisig, menudo, picadillo, tokwa’t baboy, ginisang mais, munggo
eto na nga lang. haba na eh. gutom na ako!
If there is one thing that unites us Pinoys, it’s food! We are passionate about it but also inclusive and tolerant of everyone else’s preferences. (Not like some folks out there who insist that their ways of cooking and eating are the only ones that matter). Congratulations on thinking up this awesome way for all of us to celebrate Independence Day. (Someday, we truly will be. Thanks for the background, Gonzo!).
Top Ten ni Kate: my Dad’s Gulay na Natong (aka Laing), my Lola’s Bangus En Tocho and Bistek-flavored meatballs, my Mom’s Pesang Bacoco and , my cousin’s Bicol Express and shatteringly crisp-skinned but moist and tender lechon, my Aunt’s kare-kare and sotanghon guisado with tengang daga, my Uncle’s fried Abo (ask anyone from Naga what fish that is) eaten with blanched pili (the outer balok) seasoned with patis and calamansi, my mother-in-law’s tokwa’t baboy and ampalaya shrimp salad…

I just went to a Filipino Fair here Brisbane last sunday, suffice to say naubusan sila ng dinuguan before 12, and rice. But there was an abundnce of bbq pinoy style. I was disappointed that they didn’t feature food coming from our 13 regions. It was VERY limited. And the halo halo was ordinary, not worth queueing for. But inspite of that, it was still a nice outing. A perfect excuse to have a barbie with your kababayans. Daming Pinoy pala sa Brisbane. =)

First of all, THANK YOU, MM, for making me realize just how many Pinoy dishes I love. I’ve always said Filipino food is not on my Top 5 list, yet despite that, and even after excluding desserts, snacks and food that I could get in another country (e.g., Lengua), I still had great difficulty trimming my list down to 10! So, if for no other reason, I believe you’ve made this year’s Independence Day special by reminding me that we have a cuisine we can truly be proud of. :-)
10 Pinoy dishes I absolutely cannot resist:
1. Sinangag!!! Whether fried in regular oil, or the oil from Longganisang Lucban. (I’m not a big fan of rice, but put garlic rice in front of me and suddenly, it’s “kain karpintero†time!)
2. Adobo flakes
3. Beef tapa flakes (like the one served in Windows)
4. Ginataang puso ng saging na may kalabasa at hipon
5. Ensaladang manggang hilaw, kamatis, itlog na maalat at bagoong
6. My brother-in-law’s Crispy Pork Binagoongan with a sauce made from chopped tomatoes and manggang hilaw
7. Lumpiang Shanghai – but only if very crisp! No soggy lumpia for me.
8. Longganisang Lucban, pierced and fried till crumbled and crunchy
9. Sugpo sa aligue
10. Chicken skin chicharon
And…I’m gonna cheat and include one more that’s not really a dish but I just can’t leave it out: Pan de sal topped with my Lola’s Quezo Reina (quezo de bola grated and mixed with butter to make a spread), toasted till the cheese melts & browns
Happy Independence Day, MarketMan!

1) Ginataang Bilo-bilo
2) Sapin-sapin

6) Pinangat na Salay-salay

Sige, here are mine:
sinigang na bangus
sinigang na pork spareribs
daing na bangus
tinapang bangus with kalamansi
tosilog (tocino is not too fatty)
longsilog

bulalo – relative of nilagang baka???
grilled liempo
lechong kawali (boiled, baked, then deep fried!!!)
halabos na hipon
Fried hipon with oyster sauce, ginger and green onions.
Its funny. There are all these dishes that we like to prepare, all these recipes that we want to learn, but in the end, most of top 10 are your basic adobo, sinigang and tinola. Sarap isipin that when you get down to the core, your love for things (food that is) Filipino still shines through.
Looking forward to the tally of these top 10’s!
acmr, that’s exactly what i was thinking — the bottom line is that the food that we grew up eating still rule! :)
Very nationalistic cake, MM! The Independence day celebration here in New Zealand was not really that exciting too. There were round about 400 Filipinos in attendance. Nothing spectacular. Funny, that while everybody else was trying to have a semblance of Filipino-ism in their clothings, one Philippine embassy personnel was wearing a cheongsam!!!
Anyway, here is my wish list for a Phillipine Independence day meal:
Soups:
Bulalo
Pork spare ribs sinigang sa bayabas
Sinampalukang Manok
Guisang Sale Manok
Main dishes:
Asadong Sta. Rita
Rellenong bangus
Rellenong ampalaya
Lumpiang ubod
Lumpiang sariwa
Sisig
Tapang Kalabaw (with ripe fresh tomatoes)
Tocino (with ripe fresh tomatoes)
Pinakbet
Grilled Stuffed Bangus (with calamansi and soy sauce)
Dessert:
Leche flan
Macapuno with ripe mangoes
Buco sorbet
Here’s my independence menu in no particular order… (drumroll please) =)
1. Lechon baboy
2. La Paz Batchoy
3. Kare kare
4. Lumpiang Sariwa
5. Tinolang Manok
6. Inihaw na Panga ng tuna
7. Rellenong Bangus
8. Kinilaw na Blue marlin
9. Longganisang Kapampangan
10. Pancit Chami
Desserts:
1. Leche Flan
2. Halo Halo
3. Yema
Looking at the lists above i reckon limiting pinoy favourites to just ten dishes might be an exercise in futility.
Why don’t you just sub-divide into categories na lang: top 5 starters/pulutan, top 3 noodles, top 5 merienda, top 5 seafood, top 5 main dishes, top 3 soups, top 3 gulay, top 3 breakfasts, top 5 desserts, and so on and so forth?
Greetings All, thanks for all of those responses…keep them coming if you like, I will try and compile the list in a few days…gonzo, I think what will naturally emerge are about 20 top dishes, then lots of interesting, hmmm, I forgot about that dish… On desserts, I specifically left that out this time around, despite many responses, as that is another effort all together…I think we have a fabulous selection of desserts/snacks/etc. At any rate, it’s nice to see people putting some effort into this…as I said up top, it wasn’t so easy to come up with a Top 10!

MM, I bet you were majorly overwhelmed with this list! I shudder at the thought of having to compile and choose the Top 10. There are just so many entries! Anyway, just reading the entries made my mouth water imagining the special delicacies with matching sawsawan listed here. Happy Independence Day!
wow, i can’t believe i haven’t seen binagoongang baboy in any of the lists yet!
but Marketman, this is a great Independence Day post. i wish pinoy food would break into global cuisine consciousness in the same way chinese, japanese, mexican and indian food are practically staples everywhere now.
and though i was hard-put to come up with it, here’s my list in no particular order:
– kahit ano na inadobo sa gata, haha
– sinigang na baboy
– laing (the old-fashioned quezon way)

6. lumpiang ubod, or togue
7. okoy
8. really great LUGAW eaten with #’s 6 and 7
9. Kare kare made with lily’s peanut butter. thick and rich! that’s the only kare kare i eat.

hi, i would just to request if you have a great recipe to cook crispy pata. i would really appreciate it. thank you…
jeff, I have not personally cooked crispy pata as it is too messy and scary…but from what I can tell, the whole pata is boiled until tender (or in a pressure cooker) in water with peppercorns, bay leaves, onions, garlic and other aromatics then just before deep frying in lots of fat, pull it out of the broth and fry it until a crispy skin forms. Be prepared for fat firecrackers is all I can say…good luck!
