Hi Eva,

Of course I’ve tried Dinuguan. :) Although I must admit the first time I had it I didn’t know what it was…..

Scott,

You have a strong stomach!!! It’s quite rare for a tourist here in PI to try our local street foods. I guess if you plan to join the Fear Factor, eating exotic food will be a breeze for you. LOL

I wonder if you have tried “Dinuguan”.

Technically if you eat you will get thirsty :)
Lambanog sound like a must, thanks for the advice! Hope it taste better then Tanduay… He anyone got a link to the video with Steven Seagal – I found gold in the Philippines? Been looking in the fog for it..

Hi Magnus,
I missed a lot of foods as there are too many, I just described some of the more popular ones. Technically Tuba is not a food, it’s a drink. On the subject of drinks, I would suggest that you try Lambanog. :)

Isaw, Balout and kweck-kweck are all amazing dishes. They have a great thing in common, they are cheap to buy. I’ was actually going to try eating Bat and snake last time but we didnt see any snake and we had no time to shot our own bat. I’ve been visiting Zamboanga so maybe its not to common to eat Bat and snake there?

But you missed the far best thing about Philippines!
Tuba aka jungle Wine. Btw there is a great song about that by Verine Tejada!
Also check his song about NoyNoy. I listen to them daily.. (just google it).

Btw Zamboanga is the best city in Philippines :)

Hi Chito,

You’re right. About a year too late on that one, but thanks anyway. :)
