I have been lucky in that I’ve known many Filipino Americans, and learned to appreciate them and their cuisine. My first time eating goat was at a christening party for a coworker’s son. Pancit and roasted goat was absolutely delicious.

I think what makes Filipino (American) food different from other Asian foods, and I’ve noticed this is such a recurring debate among each other, is that there is that there is NO uniform recipe for each dish. Rather, you have the taste profile, foundational concept, and preparation that characterizes each dish as Filipino. This is what I concluded after so many years of noticing how we almost never agree on how dishes are prepared BUT you can see the amount of pride we have when preparing our own.

Bryan is such a good reporter! This is as good as hunger pangs! The pandemic was good for something at least! 🥰

Filipinos remind me of Spanish people they are great human beings. Great comida.

I watch ATK a lot. Thanks Bryan for featuring some of the best of Filipino dishes!

Just wanted to say that pre-colonial, indigenous Filipino cuisine exists (in Ilocos, Cordillera, Mindanao, etc.). Spanish, Chinese, American, Japanese food barely influenced upland areas. Also, the OG sisig already began as a grilled, sauteed kind-of dish, it did not get created at a later time.

janice's sinigang with tomato sauce is very different I thought it would be Kinamatisang Sinigang (souring agent would be the tomatoes only) but she then added tamarind too! It's very unique but looks absolutely interesting and good. Would love to try it one day!

Thank you Bryan for showcasing Filipino food! Our food is one of the best! And you're the best!

I'm Filipino and the food looks good. I'm lucky I got a retired Navy cook as my dad. I can just about make anything he can make especially the Filipino recipes. There are certain dishes I avoid to eat like the sugary foods. Dinuguan if cleaned and cooked right I'll eat. Adobo, Sinigang, Kaldereta and the grilled dishes are easy to make. You gotta have fresh lemon grass for adobo and some soups to make it taste good. I wouldn't pay crazy prices for that food at the restaurant, I'd make it myself.

Wow! Glad Filipino foods are now becoming more popular. Hope to see more Filipino restaurants all over the US.

Thank you for sharing this story. Love it! Aloha!

Gotta have the sawsawan. It helps with the meat sweats. Sisig and San Miguel beer.

Now can this be a prelude to a new ATK season where Julia, Bridget, and the crew will finally streamline favorite Filipino dishes to the American table? I was born and raised in the Philippines, and I am a huge fan of ATK, yet you have not touched on the wonders of Filipino cuisine, emphasizing sourness, sweetness, spiciness, and more as represented by the over 7,000 islands of the archipelago… maybe for a series of Filipino foods, show adobo, halo halo, sisig, inasal (barbecued chicken), sinigang (pork or seafood), tinola, mechado, menudo, afritada, and more.

I don't get it. why do Filipinos who leave for another country suddenly put Ginger in their Sinigang, I guess, when its fish its a must, but still we normally don't put ginger in Sinigang. and only restaurant people sear meat like that, Ordinary filipinos don't (Millenials maybe). its basic, you put pork or beef cut into large cube bite sizes into sa pot fill it u with water (preferable rice water) until it covers the meet and boil it when it starts to boil add a couple of small whole onions and small whole tomatoes. the start simmering to tenderize the meat. when its tender you add the Tamarind sinigang mix or whatever sinigang souring agent you prefer to use like Guava fruit or Kamias fruit etc. adding more rice water at this point might be needed (remember this is a stew that is more like a soup., lowering the heat after it starts to boil again coz' it might overflow while boiling. simmer a little more then, add all the veggies one by one like like Gabi cut into bite size pieces, snake beans, okra, eggplant, patchoy and finger chilies (looks like Halapeno but its not). add salt to taste and simmer for 3 more minutes or until veggies are cooked. absolutely sauteing or searing needed.

@Diyel

Yeah, ginger would honestly fit in Sinigang sa Miso (especially if you use either Tuna or Tambakol or any other big, saltwater fish) imho, but I don't think it ruins the flavor profile so it can pass off as a rather interesting take instead. As for frying or searing the meat, it's not really that weird or off-putting and is just as authentic as simply boiling the pork. I always prefer the latter, but the former still feels good and I love eating it once in a while.

Sisig using mayones...is good
