Filipino restaurants in Manila with fun Turon desserts

Top Banana: 9 Filipino restaurants in Manila with fun Turon desserts

by The Click List

Turon, your every day crispy and warm banana merienda, is amped up in flavors and presentation by some of our metro's Filipino restaurants. This typical mid-afternoon snack served in street carts, school canteens, carinderias--or lovingly prepared at home by your favorite lola for you to munch on when you get home from school--consists of sliced saba bananas wrapped like a lumpia (spring roll), coated in sugar, then deep fried until golden crisp. Oftentimes, slices of langka (jackfruit) finds themselves stuffed in these dessert spring rolls, and it has become common (and a favorite for summertime) to pair them with ice cream. Other popular local preparations of banana for snacking on are skewered banana cue (caramelized and deep fried), maruya (battered and deep fried), saba con hielo (served with crushed ice and milk), and of course--sliced and sweetend to be part of the many colorful ingredients in our beloved halo-halo.

12 Restaurants Serving Filipino Dish Sinigang

Your Sinigang Cheat Sheet: 12 Restaurants Serving this Filipino Comfort Food

by The Click List

Just like a breakfast of tapa and longganisa, a hearty lunch of adobo, kare-kare, and nilaga, the Filipino dish Sinigang has nostalgic flavors that lure us back to our favorite mealtime memories of yesteryears, making it a quintessential comfort food. Sometimes, all you need to soothe your weary soul is a bowl of savory and sour, hearty stew, strewn with vegetables, bursting with flavor in every sip.

 

Traditionally, sinigang's broth is made sour by tamarind, but many souring agents also lend their flavors in the soup--fruits like calamansi, kamias, and guava are  common ingredients used for their sourness. The meats and seafood in the soup vary as well: pork, beef, fish, and shrimp are common proteins used, stewed with assorted fresh vegetables such as gabi, eggplant, kangkong, and okra. Modern recipes get even more playful with their sinigang creations, deconstructing some of the ingredients for crispy versions, or adding different fruits to make the flavor of the broth more complex. Another popular sour stew is the sinampalukang manok, loosely considered the chicken counterpart of sinigang, still using tamarind as its souring ingredient, but distinct with its addition of ginger.

Filipino Restaurants in Manila: Where to bring Balikbayan and Foreign Guests

by The Click List
With hundreds of years in history spent under Western and Eastern colonial rule, The Philippines has, throughout the years, developed a cuisine that's pretty distinct from the rest of what can be had in Asia. The cuisine is often described as a melting pot of  Malay, Spanish, Chinese, American, and Latin flavors and techniques. Some examples of quintessential Filipino dishes include Adobo (chicken or pork braised in garlic, vinegar, oil and soy sauce, or cooked until dry), Kare-Kare (oxtail and vegetables cooked in peanut sauce),  Sinigang (meat or seafood in sour broth), Caldereta (meat in tomato sauce stew), Mechado (larded beef in soy and tomato sauce), and Balut (fertilized duck embryo).

In this article, we've rounded up the restaurants where you can devour traditional and modern Filipino favorites. You might also want to bookmark this page for when a balikbayan relative comes home craving Pinoy food or when you need to give a Filipino Cuisine 101 and impress foreign guests.

NamNam Restaurant at the Greenbelt 2, Makati City

'Malinamnam' at Namnam: Comfort Filipino

by Cityzen | Chris Mallari

 There’s nothing more comforting than eating food that is familiar to you, something that you’ve loved since childhood. As a Filipino born and raised in this country, I am extremely proud of our local cuisine.  From our leche flan up to our famous lechon, it’s all good and yummy.  It’s no wonder that we have a lot of Filipino themed restaurants catering to our cravings. One of the newest restaurants to fill this need is Namnam: Comfort Filipino at Greenbelt 2.  It’s located right below BurgerBar, another recently opened restaurant.  Both restaurants are owned and operated by the Moment Group, which also owns Cue’ Modern Barbeque in Taguig.  Namnam is the Moment Group’s third restaurant.

I arrived at Namnam around 4pm with a grumbling tummy, ready to take some great shots with my camera. From what I’ve learned doing these articles, it’s always a good thing to arrive hungry and ready to eat.

Aracama - A Restaurant that serve so-so Filipino

Looking for A Place to Treat Your 'Bisita'? Bring Them to Aracama!

by Alexis dela Rosa

I'm sure it has happened more than once: a foreigner asks you to recommend where he or she can eat great Filipino comfort food and you're at a loss for an answer. It's not that the metro lacks good Filipino restaurants. In fact, they are everywhere! But do you accompany him or her to your favorite (but kinda dingy) turo-turo that serves the best sisig and beer combo? Shall you accompany him or her to your go-to fishball stand? Or do you point your guest to “safer” Filipino restaurants that serve so-so Filipino food?
