A Filipino grocery store opened up in the area, but I know nothing about the region. Apparently they even sell ready cooked food. Is there anything that would make it worth the trip? Any interesting regional ingredients? What should I order if I go there? How does Veeky Forums feel about Filipino food?

Order them down on the ground. When the comply, unload on them anyway. America is closed.

Filipino food is disgusting.

>does this store have anything i want?
We don't know their fucking inventory, you idiot.

>work with a young Filipino guy
>he's only 19, still lives with his parents and they make his lunch
>probably 3/5 days of the work week he throws his whole lunch in the garbage cause he feels the same way.

The only good thing about filipino food is their spanish bread. Think how vietnam has baller french coffee and baguettes, the Philippines has awesome baked stuff. Except vietnamee cuisine is delicious plus french skills, filipino food is garbage oily overcooked organ meat and chicken fetuses.

Spanish cheese bread and putok are good. Sweet breads but yummy as a dessert.

If it's anything like other Asian stores, they'll have plenty of whole plant foods at 1/4 the price of white stores :-)

their food is either super sweet or has a strong vinegar taste. think of it as a greasier version of chinese food.

i do like their ube ice cream and banana ketchup, but i can get that shit at chinese stores too

Do they have cheap tempeh?

>wasting food
>wasting food made by your parents
disgusting

The only good thing I've had from filipinos is pork belly, they do that pretty well.
Everything else is trash.

make filipino carbonara

Lumpia

Perhaps you have the downs?

>eating food that is horrible enough to cause psychological damage
>on a regular basis
>in your formative years

filipinos who don't love filipino food are whitewashed dogs. they are not proud of who they are

they're just as bad as those white weaboos moving to japan and pretending to be japanese

Basically this.

You are as bad as says. Try eating literally anything other than sisig. Adobo anything, roasted fish, pancit, lumpia, siopao, kare-kare, etc etc. Sounds like you're super white washed.

I just came here for the Filipino carbonara recipe

When I was in the Philippines I ate a lot of fried fish (especially "bangus") and fried squid ("pusit"). And lots of sinigang soup with the tamarind flavor. And also those halo-halo bowls from Chowking. I enjoyed the food. I liked how all those little restaurants would start putting whole cooked fish in the display counters at lunchtime, and you could just buy a couple of them with some rice and start eating immediately with no wait.

What are you trying to say? Siopao, pancit (if you mean pancit bihon which is what most murkins think of if you say pancit) and lumpia are chinese food with a slight flip accent. Adobo sucks, and roasted fish is something every culture has. Kare kare I can take it or leave it. Sisig though is one of the best dishes in flip cuisine. Are you saying he's right because sisig is not a good example of flip food?

Whitewashed flip here, in case you're wondering. I have no problem admitting that. Not the guy you're replying to, in case that's not obvious.

>because you don't have freedom of choice to eat something else

i get that if you eat the same things everyday you'll get tired but if you don't atleast have pride in your people's food you dont deserve to call yourself filipino.

enjoy your steak, mash potatoes and steamed veges then

Native food is decent. Pretty good for its cheap price and considering the quality of ingredients here.

Any "western" food here is absolute dog shit. Laughable quality but also pretty cheap so it's alright I guess. At least they have a McDonald's over here.

I'd never go out of my way to make flip food though.

T. Americanized Flip.

Whitewashed flip here again. The thing about flip food if you live in the west is that it's pretty dogshit. Like good luck making anything good with Heinz distilled white vinegar and like, 3 year old stale ground powdered tamanrind and so on.

It's gotten better in recent years with the internet and asian markets becoming more sophisticated, but unless you are quite young, have very recent immigrant parents, and live in an area with a lot of flips, if you're a murkin flip you probably grew up eating terrible renditions of traditional dishes, and you would have good reason to despise flip cuisine.

so youre blaming the ingredients then
that sounds like something a shitty cook would say

>ingredients availability is irrelevant when cooking
You've never actually left the US, have you

I'm a fresh off the boat flip and i haven't craved much for filipino food since I got here. Been in the US for two years now. Sisig, crispy pata, and bulalo are the only good stuff imo. I grew up poor and usually had dried fish, dried squid, adobo, bangus, paksiw... basically the traditional filipino food thats super fucking salty to make it so you eat more rice. I don't like a lot of filipino food because they usually smell bad. My parents like to use fish sauce on things that don't even require fish sauce, like soup. Even if I've lived with it for several years doesn't mean I'll ever get used to how awful it is

The sweets are good shit tho

Bicol Express (pork or chicken cooked in a coconut sauce) is great. Sinigang is a tamarind base soup that pairs well with salmon or shrimp. If they have fried bangus (milkfish), try that, too. Lumpia is basically eggrolls, but a mixture of lettuce and ground beef.

Also I like these longaniza sausages, but apparently Mexican chorizo are pretty much the same thing.

>things that don't even require fish sauce, like soup
Eh, I think that's pretty common across SEA food. You're right about the general saltiness, though. As much as I love Filipino food, so much of it is salty or greasy.

Tocino is really good too but Im pretty sure it's originally a spanish thing. Still liked the filipino variant

philipino here, can confrm philipino is fucking garbage

you can't even spell right you faggot
but then again most flips can't spell

Flips can't spell but that is not a characteristic misspelling, they would usually say pilipino. This guy is white

I married a Flip. We went to a Christmas party this past week and I helped my mother in law make macaroni salad. It consisted of cooked noodles that sat on the counter all night, mayonnaise, pickle relish and cheese cubes. I cringed as she gave me instructions
Flip food is literally just random shit thrown together

Fucks sake she did the cheap version of the macaroni salad. Never ends up tasting good. What a waste

are those instant noodles? Fucking savages I swear

google ' pagpag ' for authentic filipino cuisine

>I married a Flip. We went to a Christmas party this past week and I helped my mother in law make macaroni salad. It consisted of cooked noodles that sat on the counter all night, mayonnaise, pickle relish and cheese cubes. I cringed as she gave me instructions
>Flip food is literally just random shit thrown together

what kind of weird shit is this, both my parents are filipinos and neither side of their families do anything like this

I don't know mang. Apparently she makes it every year for a party and it's specifically requested by her friends (who are total MILFs). She makes goof pancit and kare kare and typical Flip stuff, but this macaroni shit was just too bizarre

doesn't really sound like a flip thing, i have had similar 'picnic salads' of similar description made by people of different cultures(like really shitty versions of them i mean)

Can confirm
t. Flip

fili boy here and i can tell you that filipino food is utter shite, i wish i was half indonesian like my cousins so i can have edible food

ITT: post filipino food
pic related

Pinoy here. Just avoid it entirely.

Filipinos are trash. My mom is trash. I absolutely despise my heritage and being related to parasitic lazy fuckups.

>typical Luzon """food"""
>literally no mention of food from mindanao or visayas
You're when plebs represent your country all people will know is shit food. These apes can't even roast a pig properly or make good dinugoan.

*You're right

I looked up sisig because you said it was good. Its pig hearts and brains!
What the hell are flips demons??

The Philippines is the worst nation in the world desu.
>worst people
>worst culture
>worst language
>worst cuisine
Stay away from anything and everything Filipino.

>think of it as a greasier version of chinese food.
How is that even possible.

Having worked in both East Asia and South East Asia, the Philippines was the only country where I needed an armed escort to do my day operations. This included the simple act of eating lunch. Apparently kidnapping for ransom is a big thing there. It was surprising really because they are in general, a friendly lot.

>they are in general, a friendly lot.
Nah they only want your money
>I needed an armed escort to do my day operations. This included the simple act of eating lunch.

sometimes i wonder if the flips saw indians success with the brits at throwing in random assortments of flavours and textures and praying for the best.

Except indians actually refined there dishes and flips are making gourmet hotdog meals.

t. has no knowledge of history

t. self-hating Flip

Why would anyone have pride in being the niggers of Asia?

I am American. I have lived in the Philippines for four years in the past. I am currently there again for a few months. I have never needed any kind of armed anything. Unless you were in the absolute shittiest part of Mindanao that shouldn't be a problem. I have gone all over Luzon without any issue. That's not to say that you can come here and be an idiot. Secure your wallet and don't wander around strange places at night.

The boys have asses like you wouldn't believe tho. Shame about the girls tho.

Bigger dicks than most of the others, desu
You underestimate the level of stupid shit that western travelers will get themselves into if they lack common sense. Doesn't matter if only 5% of employees act like morons, if it costs the company $16M a year in ransom payouts, that's still more than paying a local with a gun to follow the employees around.

I dated a American-Filipino girl for awhile. Shame I fucked up the relationship, because she was adorable and her family was extremely loving.

I liked the food, but I'll try just about anything. What is the banana filled treats? Those were awesome.Turon? Yep, I also liked Adobe

I don't agree with cafeteria style but still I would kill you with my bear hands..

Hapa, half flip. Got to share my love for sinigang. One of the best soups to have when you're sick.

So what your saying is your parents can't cook proper filipino food? No wonder they raised such a westernized cuck. Go suck Ronald McDonalds cock the way your sister would and then kys.

Are you a grill? Let's get together and make hapa babies together. I don't want to mix my genes with the unsavory purebreds.

Those two posts are made by the same person, you idiot. Sorry if my correct insights upset you, and I'm retracting the offer of my sperm.

Sinagang is a fucking gem. When I worked with Koreans here they were putting it down. Those fuckers put ketchup on their eggs though. Can't trust their taste.

Speaking of Filipino supermarkets I just had to run into one inside of a mall here in Manila. My gf was craving green mango with salt. If any of you fuckers are dating a Filipina that means she's either about to start her period or pregnant.

The Philippines somehow managed to be the only country in Asia without amazing food. I don’t know how they do it.

Technically, Russia is in Asia

How brown and smelly is your wife’s pussy?

Because

The Philippines is the worst aspects of Asia mixed with the worst aspects of Latin America. Complete garbage country that shouldn’t exist.

It was company policy. I'm not going to say no to a free bodyguard. I spent roughly 9-10 months there, it was okay.

Not really. It's pretty chill here. In Thailand if you piss someone off they will stab you repeatedly and leave you in a ditch. They will never be apprehended. There are all kinds of tourist scams there too.

Here most people are helpful and friendly. They don't want to kill you if you somehow insult their pride. It's third world and there's a lot of annoying things due to that but if you aren't broke you could live here barely aware of the crippling poverty that surrounds you. Try visiting makati sometime if you're a gigantic pussy and think this country is scary.

Detroit and Chicago go a fuck of a lot harder than any single place on the island of Luzon. The only places you should be avoiding there are travel advisories put out by your country telling you to avoid them. If you get yourself kidnapped by Muslim terrorists you were going places you did not belong in under any circumstances. I won't feel bad if I see your dumb ass on GMA news eating pancit canton.

The Philippines obvious has a crime problem if they elected a leader whose main plank was summarily executing criminals.

The Philippines is a nation of criminals tho
Their leader is no exception

There is a crime problem but it's probably not as bad as the one in your own country. Common sense is enough to avoid becoming a victim most of the time. There's a reason Filipinos wear their backpacks on their stomachs.

Killing people over drug related crimes is quite common in Asia. They're not usually executed without a trial etc like here but there's a lot of legal red tape in the way in this country. I wouldn't defend it but there was popular demand for it. Problem is most of the people who were killed were low level people selling to support their habit. The big fish never fried.

But as much as this shit dominates the media you wouldn't know anything about it if you came here and didn't pay attention. Unless you are the kind of retard who comes to Asia and goes out looking for drugs.

>There is a crime problem but it's probably not as bad as the one in your own country

This is certainly true with respect to US cities. In fact, I'm certain 1st world countries would issue travel warnings to their citizens for many areas of the US if it weren't for geopolitical repercussions.

This desu.

Fresh good ingredients are paramount, you've never had visayan kilala till you've had it with freshly made gata. Much of Luzon doesn't know how to cook either, barring a few exceptions like bicol.

Food culture is shit though, shitty palate only satisfied with fat/salt bombs and sweet shit. People forgot how to cook. This is the main reason for the shitty image the cuisine has.

At its best the cuisine has some interesting stuff to offer, bold flavors, original ingredients, a couple of good techniques, not that shitty compared to the rest of the world. You'd have to be in the philippines and have a competent cook to try it though, so all in all not worth the effort.

It's poor american style foods made by filipinos who don't know better.

This man speaks the truth. Luzon is terrible for food.

Sisig is made of leftover meat from the pig. My family makes it from the ears and intestines. I know that my aunt makes it from leftover lechon. It's double cooked pork.

Also, hearts and brains are delicious.

Dinuguan is delicious, but is an acquired taste.

>Visayans
Lol no
Only the Moros know how to cook desu

Truth. Most Americans seem to think they're immune to bad shit, but they are prime targets for the radical muslims.

>meat comes from the store omg it’s alive when u kill it?!?
t. snookie

the best sinigang is sinigang sa miso with red snapper then sinigang na shrimp

the philippines has a huge inequalitu problem, almost all kidnappings in the philippines are for money. the MILF stuff is practically irrelevant unless you’re in the habit of hanging out in bumblefuck sulu. it’s just a way for the government to get free handouts from the US because “we’re poor” doesn’t cut it contrary to how americans think foreign aid works
