This bloody dish tastes so much better than it sounds.
It's the Philippines' national dish. It usually makes an appearance, and rapid disappearance, during special occasions.
Pinoy-style ice cream served "dirty" because of the dust it collects while it's exposed to the elements. It's street food, after all.
Why it’s in the list: Just the thought of a fresh plate of pansit palabok with all the “sahog” (rough translation: toppings) makes my belly grumble with anticipation. If you don’t know what to bring during pot-luck dinners, a “bilao” of pansit palabok won’t disappoint.
Never mind the aroma that clings to your clothes and announces what you had for lunch, this is a winner of a dish. Numerous varieties have evolved from the original Pampanga creation, but I prefer the plain, crispy, semi-burnt version with several drops of calamansi juice. Drool.
Crushed ice + milk + langka + macapuno + sago + jelly + nata de coco + a bunch of other ingredients = refreshing and filling Pinoy dessert.
