What do you order at Pinoy Restaurants???

I more or less know what Filipino dishes are your (reader) favorites, from a poll I took on dishes and desserts last year. But I am curious if you order the same dishes when you eat out at Filipino restaurants. I ask this because MM & Family recently ate at several Filipino restaurants and noticed that the menus were incredibly long and included a huge number of dishes, say up to 100 or more, and we wondered if people really ordered that much variety while eating out. As creatures of habit, we probably limit our own orders to say a few dishes out of 20 popular dishes for our family. We certainly like to experiment, so the question is, are we so different from other folks at these restaurants, in that we order such a small fraction of the offerings? So if you care to share the information, can I ask you what 5 dishes are you most likely to order when you go to a Filipino restaurant? Thanks!

  1. If the restaurant offers these: fresh lumpia, pancit palabok, chicken barbecue, dinuguan and pork sinigang. I was told by lots of people when a restaurant’s menu runs to more than 20 selection stay away from that place – they said the food is not fresh regardless how good its turn over is.

  2. Only 5?

    1. Crispy Pata!!!
    2. Sisig
    3. Kilawin
    4. Laing/Bicol Express (Wow…I’m cheating and giving a two for one answer…sorry!)
    5. Kadios

    These are things I don’t usually (Laing I have made once) or ever make at home…so that’s why I order them from a kitchen better equipped to make them and clean up the mess afterwards! :) With regards to laing/bicol express/kadios…these are reginal favorites that I love, love, love…and when I find a place (or purveyor) that makes them well it makes my month! I haven’t included pulutan in this list (except maybe for the sisig)…Also, would have liked to include pancit molo…another fave!

  3. wow, my first time to post!! :) Love your blog!!

    we rarely eat at Pinoy restos because the food is something you have at home. So when we eat out we order food that we can’t cook well at home like – binagoongang baboy, kare-kare, crispy pata, lechon kawali, sisig.

  4. I usually order (a) dishes I love, period, and/or (b) dishes I love but cannot cook at home. So, with that in mind… top 5 in no particular order:

    1) adobo (preferably pork, but chicken will do in a pinch)
    2) sinigang na baboy
    3) dinuguan
    4) beef caldereta
    5) crispy pata

  5. Hi, MM.

    When we eat out and go to a Filipino restaurants, these dishes are the ones we always order.

    1. Crispy pata (do you have a recipe for this? If yes, please share?)
    2. Inihaw na pusit/baboy.
    3. Sinigang (either baboy or kanduli–to go with the crispy pata)
    4. Pancit guisado (bihon or miki-bihon)
    5. Kare-kare

  6. Never really thought about it, but since the Filipino restaurants we frequent are mostly the “Dencio’s-Trellis” type…=)

    1. Sinigang na fish
    2. Inihaw na Tuna Belly OR Pusit
    3. Sisig
    4. Crispy Pata
    5. Mangga’t Bagoong! =)

  7. 1.Tinapa Rice
    2.Beef Sinigang
    3.Crispy Pata
    4.Salted Eggs with Fresh Tomatoes
    5.Halo-Halo for dessert

  8. since i live in the phil. and the wife is a fantastic cook, we only go to filipino restaurants in a pinch. what we order is dependent on what resto we’re in.

    for instance if it’s barrio fiesta or kamayan, it would be crispy pata, kare-kare or lechon de leche. at aristocrat & colasa, it’s invariably their chicken or pork barbeque. at dencio’s or gerry’s, the ihaw-ihaw. at trellis, the sisig.

    it’s a different story when i’m in the provinces. i would always see to it that i am able to sample the local fare.

    and from ilocos to mindanao, i am happy to note, i’ve seldom been disappointed.

    obviously, PILIPINO AKO!

  9. We order what is NOT normally cooked at home.
    1. Cripy Pata
    2. Kare-Kare
    3. Lechon Kawali
    4. Camaron Rebosado
    5. Pochero

  10. We homecook often so it’s really rare for us to go to Filipino restaurants around here in the SF Bayarea. Recently, however, we’ve been frequenting this newly opened resto named Gerry’s Grill in Union City, Ca. But when we do go there, we mostly order appetizers plus some of the popular fare. Some of our faves are:

    1. Grilled Squid
    2. Sugba Kinilaw (a tuna ceviche topped with grilled pork cubes)
    3. Tokwa’t Baboy with Lengua cubes
    4. Crispy Pata
    5. Binagoongang Baboy

    Their Sisig dish leaves a lot to desire though so it didn’t make it on our list.

  11. Like Eileen, the restaurants we frequent are the “Dencio’s” type so our choices would be:

    1. Sizzling Sisig
    2. Inihaw na Pusit or Tuna Belly
    3. Sinigang na Hipon
    4. Kinilaw na Tanigue
    5. Crispy Pata

    Just thinking about these dishes makes me hungry!

  12. 1. Crispy pata
    2. Adobong kangkong
    3. laing/Bicol express
    4. Inihaw na pusit/baboy/isda
    5. Green mango salad/ eggplant salad

  13. my top 5 would be, i)crispy pata, ii)fish kinilaw, iii)kare-kare, iv)bulalo, and iv)sinigang na hipon.

  14. 1. grilled pork, chicken, squid, or fish.
    2. crispy pata
    3. sinigang (pork, fish, or shrimp)
    4. baked mussels (or tahong)
    5. special rice (tuyo, alique, or paella negra)

    But we do try the resto’s house specialty (if not on our list of staples) once in a while.

  15. Hello Marketman,

    It depends, the norm would be (this is how I gauge how good the restaurant.)

    a) Crispy Pata
    b) Kare-kare
    c) Siningang (baka, baboy or hipon)
    d) Steam Bangus Belly w/black bean sauce or any White Fish that’s available
    c) Veggies that are in season
    e) Lots of Rice
    f) Dessert if there is room

    If all of the above is good or better than my cooking? Then difinitely the resto and crew would received a 25% tip to make sure they remember my family and I the next time we comeback.

  16. 1. Salted eggs with tomatoes and green mango
    2. Gising-gising
    3. Sinigang na sugpo
    3. Lechon kawali
    4. Kare-Kare

  17. 1. Sinuglaw – grilled pork and fish kilawin
    2. crispy pata
    3. grilled stuffed pusit
    4. halo-halo
    5. banana with heavy syrup and coconut cream

  18. We usually order dishes that we don’t get to cook at home:

    1. Lumpiang Ubod
    2. Sisig
    3. Tokwa’t Baboy
    4. Inihaw na pusit
    5. Kare-kare (we make this at home but we like trying different versions of the dish)

  19. our usual order is as follows:
    1. halo-halo/haleyang ube
    2. grilled seafood platter
    3. pancit guisado (canton, miki-bihon, sotanghon)
    4. a fish dish (s/s lapu-lapu, sinigang bangus etc)
    5. lechon kawali/caldereta/bistek

  20. Our Fave Pinoy Resto…Barrio Fiesta!

    1. kare-kare
    2. crispy pata
    3. pinakbet
    4. inihaw na liempo
    5. fried chicken

    Kamayan and Cabalen…Eat-All-You-Can Buffet!!!

  21. Must-haves when the craving to indulge proves insurmountable:
    1. crispy pata
    2. binagoongang baboy
    3. lechon kawali
    4. kare-kare
    5. grilled tuna belly

  22. 1. crispy pata
    2. kare kare
    3. sinigang na (baboy, tyan ng bangus or corned beef of centro)
    4. sisig
    5. Fried chicken (when in max’s, of course! :D)

  24. it really depends on the Filipino resto because they do have their specialities…although I find myself usually ordering pancit palabok, dinuguan, kare-kare, fresh lumpia and chicken inasal.

  25. My mom-in-law cooks Pinoy classics very well, so I tend to order fusion dishes created by innovative chefs when I’m back in Manila. These are the things I miss most, though, so they will definitely be on my to-order list!

    1. sisig (pork, chicken or bangus)
    2. sinuglaw (kinilaw na isda with inihaw na baboy)
    3. grilled tuna belly or crispy buntot ng tuna
    4. bbq (pork or chicken)
    5. a regional or provincial specialty of the resto

    As part of the foodservice industry I can attest to what Maria Clara says, the more a resto has to offer, the more frozen and pre-cooked stuff they have in that kitchen! I am a fan of hole-in-the-walls, private kitchens, seafood markets or smaller places that offer few, yet exceptional dishes.

  26. all time favorites include dinuguan, beef caldereta, pork/chicken barbeque, palabok, halo-halo, crispy pata (for the hubby), lechon – mostly dishes we don’t cook at home…

  28. Hi MM!

    When it’s Filipino food our family usually orders:

    Pinakbet
    Laing
    halo-halo
    Gulaman

  30. Hmmmm mostly stuff not typically served at home

    crispy pata
    grilled marlin/tuna
    sisig
    sinigang
    kadios

  32. 1. crispy pata
    2. kare-kare
    3. grilled tangigue or kitong or tuna belly
    4. adobong kangkong
    5. sizzling/grilled pusit

  33. (1) sinigang
    (2) crispy pata
    (3) lumpia (fresh and fried)
    (4)rellonong bangus
    (5)pansit

  34. We always order the same food when we dine in Filipino restaurants:
    1. sisig
    2. crispy pata
    3. kare-kare
    4. sinigang na salmon
    5. grilled squid/tuna belly

  36. WHEEE! FOOD SURVEY!

    1. sinigang (just because it’s my favorite and i like to do reverse engineering of diff kinds of this dish)
    2. cripsy pata (because it’s a drag to make it at home)
    3. laing (because my mom doesn’t cook good laing)
    4. ginataang tilapia (same reason as no. 4)
    5. kinilaw na tanigue (because i’m too lazy to make it myself)

    :)

  37. 1. pork sinigang
    2. crispy pata
    3. sisig
    4. kare-kare
    5. anything inihaw (most of the time, inihaw na pusit)

    :)

  38. The restaurant’s specialty or whatever they are noted for, their specials of the day, anything labor-intensive or too smelly to cook at home, otherwise:
    1. Pancit Malabon;
    2. Lechon or ham hocks;
    3. Grilled fish;
    4. Pork barbicue;
    5. Okoy or fried vegetable lumpia.

  41. this topic is super yummy! =)

    1. lechon paksiw (my favorite!)
    2. sinigang na baboy
    3. inihaw na pusit
    4. chopsuey
    5. chicken (fried or roasted)

  42. my only rule when eating out — NEVER get something that i more or less regularly cook at home, no matter what kind of cuisine.

    so for Filipino dishes, the list would only include Dencios’s pusit a la pobre & sisig, and Max’s fried chicken (Pinoy ba yun, teehee?). outside Manila’s a different story — i’d haunt the local nooks and crannies for the local specialties (CDO’s lechon manok, Cebu/Catarman’s lechon baboy, Davao’s sinuglaw, Legaspi/Naga’s baby back ribs, Baguio’s walongsilog at Goto Baden — yumyumyum).

    oh, Cafe Adarna’s piassok (beef dish from Sulu) is to die for, for me, and i’d order it every single time :-)

  43. 1. Crispy Pata
    2. Sinigang
    3.Inihaw na baboy
    4. Bangus (cooked any way)
    5. Ensaladang mangga (green mango-bagoong salad)

    Thanks for doing This MM… you can really see a trend in what people order :)

  44. chicharon bulaklak
    sisig
    crispy tadyang
    kinilaw na tangigue
    inihaw na blue marlin

  45. My top five would be crispy pata, corned beef or salmon sinigang, an authentic pinakbet, gulaman & sago and leche flan or halo-halo.

    Looking at the survey results, isn’t it funny how the answers seem to reflect the longing for comfort food (sinigang), the yearning to eat the forbidden/decadent/too fussy to prepare (crispy pata), the quintessential carbs (rice/pancit), the dish which indicates regional affiliation (pinakbet, laing, pancit molo, kadios), the panghimagas or dessert. And don’t forget – it has to be shared with family/firends, otherwise everything tastes flat. ‘Yan ang Pinoy

  46. I prefer home-made Filipino dishes because it is a lot better than those served in the restaurants and cheaper. But if we do eat out, I order the restaurant’s especialty. Here are the foods na binabalik-balikan ko at certain retaurants:

    1.) Pancit Palabok from my home town
    2.) Sisig from Pampanga
    3.) Barbeque from Pampanga or Aritocrat
    4.) Silog
    5.) Lumpiang Sariwa

    There’s more but you asked for only five :)

  47. Our favorites to order:

    1. anything grilled – tuna, pork, chicken (inasal), squid
    2. chili crabs
    3. guinatan kuhol
    4. sisig
    5. halo-halo or sago’t gulaman

  48. embutido
    pancit malabon/palabok
    tapsilog/losilog/bangsilog, etc
    inihaw (chicken/beef/pork/bangus) w/ atcharra
    sago’t gulaman

  49. Goodness me, only 5? While I ponder that let me reply to Maria Clara (in her eerrr… nubile form – in my mind anyway)regarding staying away from restos with more than 20 items on their menu: I absolutely agree. Not only can you not guarantee the freshness of the ingredients but (as Lori from dessertcomesfirst said in her blog) the resto could be of the “jack of all trades, master of none”. I would rather visit a resto that specializes in few dishes… like Kansi on Sampaguita (?) corner Kamagong in Makati for their cheap but good bulalo. Hehe…

    So on to answering the question. I would definitely order these if they were available (in no particular order):

    1.) Crispy Pata or Lechon Kawali – Lety, I have a recipe for Crispy Pata/Lechon Kawali ;)Easy to pre-boil but a pain in the behind (and the hands) to crisp up!
    2.) Sinigang ANYTHING
    3.) Kilawin na isda of any sort
    4.) crispy crablets
    5.) Lumpiang sariwa

  89. Being here in Canada, there are a few things that would just be too onerous to cook at home, wether it be from an ingredient perspective or finding others to consume what is made, so I tend to order those things when I am in a Pinoy Resto:

    1. Dinuguan
    2. Sisig
    3. Palabok
    3. Paksiw
    4. Calabasa w/ Gata
    5. Pinakbet (although I may start doing this at home)
    6. Kare-kare
    7. Lumpia Shanghai
    8. Halo-halo
    9. Chicken Skin Chicharon
    10. Various Pinoy Desserts

  92. eej’s Top 5:

    1. Lumping Sariwa
    2. Palabok
    3. Pinoy spaghetti
    4. Kare-Kare
    5. Halo-Halo

  93. I order things that I either don’t know how to make, too lazy to cook, or too “stinky” (according to my husband).

    1. Crispy pata
    2. Lumpiang ubod
    3. Binagoongang baboy
    4. Caldereta
    5. Chicken inasal

    Luckily for me, my mom is a fabulous cook so I don’t have too eat out at Pinoy restos very often :) Besides, Seattle has only ONE Pinoy resto that I would (half-heartedly) recommend–the others are not good at all.

  94. Wow- Lots of responses to this topic.
    Unfortunately, we don’t have a single Filipino restaurant here in Dallas, but when I’m back home visiting, I like Filipino comfort foods which my sister cooks. But I also like Filipino merienda fare, so this is when we eat out, to have bibinka, palabok, halo-halo, and the like.

  96. Definitely none here in New Caledonia. When back in Manila, like everyone else, I go for something not usually prepared at home or it’s the specialty of the restaurant.

    1. Crispy pata/lechon kawali – though have to admit, my late mom & aunt do mean versions and via (old) turbo broiler
    2. Anything from Alavars
    3. Anything inihaw-baboy, seafood
    4. Local cakes, sweets, desserts offered by restos

    Pancit Malabon from Rosie’s,
    Feriño’s Bibingka,
    Misua with Patola, prawns and pork meatballs,
    Tapsilog,
    Laing.
    We find the best food is usually at private homes, where we are served such an amazing variety such as lengua, morcon, galantina, camaron con chicharo, amargoso con tausi.
