Slowly garnering the attention of the world are Filipino staples such as Kare Kare, Sisig and Dinakdakan. The Pinoy diaspora as well as social media are now helping in its popularization.

Vietnamese staples

It certainly looks like your ordinary bibbimpap but in reality is a fusion dish that incorporates the Philippine seafood paste. I reckon it was inspired by local telenovela that called the dish talangkanin. The pajeon or korean pancake was superb as well.

When dining out becomes somewhat a patriotic act that will help local industries devastated by the never ending pandemic. Trying out the Babaghanoosh Feast for lunch

No frills but with with savory dishes that has the element of surprise in it as they don't have a menu. All these for just 1080 pesos.

Rainy weather and looking for a great tasting dish that does not hit so much your wallet? Then check out the 99 peso ramen offering from Ramen99.

One of those days when you could not really decide what to eat and you are in a city that you are not really familiar with. Did a trip advisor search and it led me to this korean restaurant. Could not really do the eat all you can since I was all by myself. As such,I went for the next best thing and availed of the solo set. Aside from those in the pix, this one came with soup, one extra cup of rice, and a pitcher of iced tea. All for only 399 pesos (7.80 USD). Give it a try when you're looking for comfort food whenever you are in San Pablo.

My southern soujourn offers am exciting opportunity for gastronomic delights at very competitive prices. Having Tender Baby Backribs at P155 while not being able to resist trying the garlic parmesan flavored buffalo shrimps. Had to get another serving of rice thereafter. Cost me all in all 355 or US$6.91.
