What’s The Food Like?

This is a popular question but one that is all too often forgotten about. Filipino cuisine is not spicy at all except for one dish called ‘Bicol Express’. This is a coconut curry type dish that is pretty tame compared to Indian or Thai food, or even Korean Kim Chee or some of those spicy Mexican dishes.

Different regions offer different delicacies but everywhere you go you will find BBQ. Roadside stalls over tasty and safe to eat sticks of pork, chicken and seafoods. Sauces are tasty without being spicy so your ulcer should be safe! Not only are the offerings good to eat, they are cheap too.

In the cities you will find a wide range of restaurants and take away chains, many of which you would recognize from back home. McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut and Burger King are often located next to the local versions; Jolibee, Greenwich Pizza and Chow King. As well there are several restaurant chains that specialize in BBQ, especially in the Visayas where Lechon Baboy, roast suckling pig, is a regional speciality.

There are supermarkets in all towns and cities and these carry a wide range of local and imported fresh and canned goods. Beer, wine and spirits are very low cost and there are also specialist importers if you simply must have your prime US Angus steaks. The local markets also offer food and a travel experience as you wander betweent he stalls offering freshly caught fish or butchered meat.

It isn’t exactly like home, it’s the Philippines. But rest assured there is enough of your familiar foods available to make you feel right at home from Day 1.
