I’ve arranged this list in alphabetical order so it’s purely by coincidence that it starts off with one of the most infamous Filipino street foods – balut. For the uninitiated, balut is a fertilized egg incubated for 14-21 days, boiled, then eaten directly from its shell. It’s typically made with duck eggs, specifically native or Pateros duck eggs,...
Unlike balut that can be intimidating even to Filipinos, Banana Q (or cue) isn’t scaring anyone away. It’s a skewered deep-fried sweet plantain coated in caramelized brown sugar. Equally popular as street food in the Philippines, it’s something that many Filipinos grew up eating. RECIPE: Banana Q Ren didn’t touch the balut but here she is all giddy...
Buko is the Tagalog word for young coconut. I’ve lived in the Philippines most of my life and I never thought of buko as a type of Filipino street food, but I guess you can say it is. Aside from being used in Filipino cooking, fresh buko sold in wooden pushcarts is a common sight in the Philippines, even in big cities like Manila. Buko vendors will...
This is an interesting Filipino street food dish, even for locals. Bulaklak refers to pork chitterlings or mesentary. It refers to the folds of tissue that attach the small intestines to the back of the abdominal wall. What makes this particular bulaklak interesting is how it’s cooked. Bulaklak is typically served as a deep-fried dish called chicha...
Like in many Spanish-speaking countries, empanada is popular in the Philippines. Fillings vary greatly but Filipino empanadas often contain ground meat (beef, pork, or chicken), potatoes, onions, carrots, peas, and raisins wrapped in dough that’s either baked or fried. I’m not sure if empanada is commonly sold as street food in Manila, but in Vigan...
If balut is the most infamous Filipino street food, then fish balls are arguably the most iconic. Many Filipinos grew up eating it so for us, fish balls are the quintessential Filipino street food. They’re basically balls of flour made with some type of flaked fish meat. Of all the Filipino street food dishes we ate for this article, fish balls wer...
Like fish balls, isaw is one of the most iconic Filipino street foods. I wasn’t exposed to it as much growing up but many people say it was a legendary street food at UP Diliman. I read that students from all social classes would line up for their isaw at the many streetside grilleries near campus. Isaw refers to barbecued pig or chicken intestines...
Kwek kwek is a hard-boiled quail egg that’s coated with an orange batter and deep-fried until crispy. They’re pretty much exactly how you’d imagine them to taste, like eggs deep-fried in tempura batter. The batter itself is flavorless so I have no idea why it has to be orange. Perhaps just to make the kwek kwek look more appetizing? If that’s the r...
Lugaw refers to a thick Filipino rice porridge that’s similar to Cantonese-style congee. It’s boiled with strips of fresh ginger and often topped with scallions, crispy fried garlic, and other seasonings. Lugaw is a popular Filipino street food dish that’s also commonly eaten at home. I remember my dad often eating it whenever he felt under the wea...
Like buko, I’ve seen mais (corn) sold on Manila’s streets for as long as I can remember but I’ve never really considered it as Filipino street food. Perhaps it’s because of the way it’s presented. Unlike Mexican elotefor example, which is grilled until charred then seasoned with a cream sauce, Filipino mais is basically just boiled corn on the cob....
