Bagoong Alfredo Pasta
Don’t show this to an Italian… 👀🇮🇹
I just made Anchovy Alfredo pasta—but swapped anchovies for BAGOONG!
Yeah… Filipino shrimp paste in a creamy, cheesy Italian classic.
And before you come for me—hear me out.
That salty, funky, umami bomb melts right into the sauce and takes it to a whole different level.
It’s rich, it’s bold, it’s unexpected… and somehow it just WORKS.
This is what happens when Filipino flavor meets Italian comfort food.
Would you try this… or nah? 🤔👇
Mushroom Kare Kare
“This one might be better??” 👀
Yeah… I said it —and I know that’s a bold take when it comes to Kare Kare. But here’s what I meant—
This version opens the door for people who usually can’t enjoy it. No shellfish. No peanuts.
So if you’ve ever had to sit out on Kare Kare because of shellfish or peanut allergies… this one’s for you.
We’re still bringing that same energy—fall-off-the-bone oxtail, deep, savory sauce, that creamy, nutty richness…
just built differently with mushroom bagoong, almonds, and almond butter.
Same comfort. Same vibe. Slightly remixed for more people at the table.
And honestly? That just might make it better for some.
Bagoong Fried Rice
Fried rice… but not how you know it.
This is what happens when you take something simple, and hit it with bagoong.
Salty. Funky. Bold. Straight umami.
That one ingredient that Filipinos know… changes everything.
Same flavor behind kare kare, bicol express, laing, pinakbet—and yeah… even just on green mango.
But in fried rice? Different level.
It melts right in… coats every grain…and gives you that “yo… what is that?” moment.
That’s bagoong.
And if you’ve never really tapped in—this is your sign.
Ube Ice Cream French Toast
Ube fam… this one’s different. 💜🔥
I turned ube ice cream into the French Toast batter — didn’t add anything. No milk, no eggs, no sugar. Just straight creamy ube magic ice cream soaking into soft ube bread.
Brownie Ube Ice Cream Pie
You ever had a brownie ube ice cream pie?! 👀🍫🍠🍨🍰
Fudgy chocolate brownie meets creamy, nutty ube ice cream in one cold, decadent bite—and yeah… it’s every bit as good as it looks. I used Goldilocks brownies for that rich, chewy base, topped it with ube ice cream, whipped cream, and more brownie goodness.
This one’s EASY and dangerously good.
Ube Banana Nut Bread
3 ingredients… and this ube banana nut bread comes out insanely moist every time 🤯💜
It’s the perfect combo of rich ube flavor and classic banana bread—easy, nostalgic, and straight-up sarap. 🍌✨
If you’ve been looking for a no-fail Filipino dessert that hits every time, this is it.
Pan Del Sal Ube Bread Pudding
You ever take something as classic as Goldilocks pan de sal… and turn it into THIS? 👀💜
We all grew up on Goldilocks pan de sal—warm, soft, smothered in butter, dipped in coffee. Simple. Perfect.
But today? We’re leveling it ALL the way up.
This Ube Bread Pudding is rich, creamy, loaded with ube halaya, white chocolate, and coconut… baked ‘til golden, then topped with toasted coconut, macadamia nuts, and ice cream (because why not?).
It’s soft in the middle, crispy on the edges, and straight-up comfort with a Filipino twist.
Save this and make it this week—you already know it’s gonna go crazy 🍖🔥
Filipino Sticky Ribs
These are sweet savory sticky Filipino ribs.
These sweet savory sticky ribs are pressure-steamed above an adobo-style broth—so they’re infused with all that soy, vinegar, garlic goodness without boiling. Then glaze them in a rich banana ketchup BBQ sauce and finish under the broiler for that caramelized, fall-off-the-bone magic.
It’s bold. It’s sticky. It’s Filipino BBQ vibes leveled all the way up.
Save this and make it this week—you already know it’s gonna go crazy 🍖🔥
Filipino Fish Taco
You’ve NEVER had a fish taco like THIS 👀🐟🔥
This is Daing na Bangus—butterflied milkfish marinated in garlic, vinegar, and pepper, then fried until golden and crispy.
Load it with rice, top it with fresh tomatoes + onions soaked in spiced vinegar, fold it up—and yeah… eat the whole thing like a taco. Head, tail, bones and all.
Crunchy, tangy, savory—Filipino flavors in every bite.
Inihaw Na Liempo
Air Fryer Inihaw na Liempo?! 👀🔥 Same smoky-sweet, garlicky, tangy flavors—without the grill. This is that crispy, juicy pork belly meal you didn’t know you needed. Quick marinade, high heat, and boom… weeknight ulam hits different. Pair it with rice and your favorite sawsawan and you’re set.

Creamy Chicken Afritada
This is the one with the hot dogs 😏 Classic tomato base, twisted with rich coconut cream. Chicken, bell peppers, potatoes, carrots … and yes, those nostalgic hot dog slices. Savory, tangy, creamy comfort in one pot.
Kinilaw Skyflakes
This is kinilaw — a pre-colonial Filipino dish created by native islanders to prepare and preserve fresh fish. It might look like ceviche… but the flavors hit different. Bright vinegar, ginger, chili — then finished with creamy coconut for that next-level twist. Simple. Fresh. Underrated. Try it with crispy SkyFlakes Crackers and tell me this doesn’t hit 🔥
Salmon Bistek
Salmon Bistek for Fish Friday? Don’t knock it till you try it. 🔥 All the bold, tangy, garlicky flavors of classic Filipino bistek—but with crispy, buttery salmon instead of beef. I dusted the salmon in cornstarch, pan-fried it golden, then simmered it in soy, lemon, garlic, and a huge pile of onions. Serve it over steaming white rice and it absolutely hits.
Chicken Adobo
If you ask 10 Filipinos how to cook Chicken Adobo, you’ll get 10 different answers. 🍗🇵🇭 This is my version—shaped by my mom’s cooking and tweaked from growing up in the U.S. Not strictly traditional… but definitely saucy, garlicky, tangy, and full of comfort. In this reel I show my step-by-step Chicken Adobo recipe so you can cook it at home.
Escabeche
Don’t sleep on whole fish. 🐟
It’s Fish Friday, and Escabeche might be the BEST way to eat whole fish. Crispy fried fish topped with a tangy, sweet, garlicky sauce with peppers, onions, and carrots. Simple ingredients, big Filipino flavor, and that crispy-saucy combo just hits every time.
If you’ve never cooked whole fish before, this is the recipe to start with.
Corned Beef with Potatoes
THIS is the ultimate comfort food that everyone will love. 🥔🥩
Crispy golden @littlepotatoco potatoes + savory sautéed canned corned beef + hot white rice… tell me that doesn’t take you back.
I use Little Potatoes for that naturally creamy texture, fry them till golden, then cook everything down with garlic and onions until rich and flavorful. Simple. Nostalgic. Family-style Filipino comfort food.
