When it comes to gastronomy, there are different types of cuisines from different regions of the Philippines. These cuisines and dishes vary per region and are actually quite flavorful. Some dishes to consider include “adobong manok”, “sinigang na baboy”, ‘binagoongan pork” and more. If you’re more adventurous, you can try out the various street foods like “isaw”, “helmet”, “dugo”, ‘tukneneng”, “fishball” and even “ballot” or “penoy”.
