]]> Manila is the capital of the Philippines and a city that’s grown in popularity in recent years as a fantastic destination for travelers. Much of the draw of Manila is related to its tastes and smells, and anyone who ends up visiting this Southeast Asia metropolis will undoubtedly spend plenty of time eating.

So, what are the foods that you cannot leave Manila without sampling on the streets? Check out these three that you have to taste!

Banana Cue

This funny play on words combines “banana” and “barbecue” is a sweet snack that Manila residents and visitors love. Saba bananas are fried in oil and then covered in caramelized brown sugar for a treat that’ll give you a sugar rush.

Kwek Kwek

Have you ever tried a deep-fried duck egg before? This might not be a popular food in many places, but in Manila, it is a common street food that is sold by vendors who often have their own special sauce to dip these treats in. It’s unique but delicious!

Squid Balls

Located in close proximity to the ocean, Manila has access to all kinds of fresh seafood. One product that is often eaten and consumed in the city is squid, which is commonly sold by street vendors fried in batter in little delicious balls.

]]> The rich history of the Philippines is recorded in the country’s dazzling array of culinary curiosities. From Spain and the USA to China, a myriad of international influence has informed these dishes. Let’s take a look at some of the most interesting dishes.

Balut 

Perhaps the most infamous Phillopino street food is Balut, a 17-day-old duck embryo. An intensely popular childhood treat, the egg is at its best when the embryo has not yet developed its beak, bones, feathers, or claws.   

Kare Kare: Oxtail Stew 

This is a stew made from ox tail, ox tripes, lots of vegetables, and flavored with roasted peanuts. The name Kar Kar refers to the Phillipino word for ‘curry’, which is a nod to Indian influence in the region.   

Adobo 

This is known to be the most popular dish in the Philippines and is an indication of the country’s rich culinary history. Made from chicken, pork, or fish braised in vinegar, the name Adobo comes from the Spanish word adobar, meaning ‘to marinate’. 

Lechon: Roasted Suckling Pig

Considered the national dish of the Philippines, ‘lechon’ originates from Spanish colonial influence and is also a favorite in Spain and across Latin America. Lechon, from the Spanish leche for milk, is a slow-roasted piglet that has only been fed on its mother’s milk.
