Sisig Tacos
I’m about to offend two cultures with one taco… and I’m completely okay with it. 😂🇵🇭🌮
But hear me out… sisig tacos just make sense. Crispy, savory Filipino sisig meets a crispy corn tortilla, tangy calamansi, and Mexican crema. It’s the kind of Filipino-Mexican fusion that makes you wonder why we didn’t do this sooner. 😂
Singing Braised Ribs
This is NOT sinigang… but it might be my new favorite way to use sinigang seasoning! 🔥
I took that popular Filipino sinigang seasoning packet and skipped the soup! Instead, I used it to braise pork ribs with onions until they’re super tender, tangy, savory, and packed with that unmistakable sinigang flavor. 🤤
Spoon those juicy ribs and sauce over a mountain of hot rice and WATCH OUT. 🇵🇭🍚
Sinigang lovers… would you try this twist? 👀
Fried Chicken Adobo Sandwich
The best fried chicken sandwich you've never had... is Filipino. 🇵🇭🔥 Crispy fried chicken coated in a rich, tangy, garlicky adobo glaze that hits every flavor craving in one bite. Sweet, salty, savory, crispy... it's ridiculously good. If you've only had traditional adobo, this remix is about to change your mind. Save it for later!
Bistek Cheesesteak
This might offend Philly… 😅🇵🇭 But hear me out. I took the iconic cheesesteak and gave it the full Bistek treatment—tangy calamansi, savory soy, garlic, caramelized onions, melty provolone, and a drizzle of that rich bistek sauce. One bite and you'll understand why this Filipino remix just works. Would you try it??
Use Rice Krispy Treats
Better than the original? 💜 You be the judge. I gave the classic Rice Krispie Treat a Filipino remix with ube halaya and ube condensed milk for that rich, nutty flavor and gorgeous purple color. Soft, chewy, buttery, and seriously addictive. Filipinos have a way of putting our own spin on classic dishes just like our island spin on this classic.
Mango Float
No-bake. No graham crackers. No problem. 🥭 This Filipino mango float with Skyflakes hits different — perfect hot summer cool treat! 🎉
Filipino Lasagna
You ever crave lasagna… but make it Filipino? 🇵🇭🧀
This skillet lasagna is savory, sweet, creamy, cheesy, and honestly way too easy to make. The real MVP? Goldilocks Filipino spaghetti sauce. It’s already packed with that signature sweet-tangy flavor, seasoned meat, and hot dogs we all grew up loving. 😮💨
One pan. Layers of creamy béchamel. Soft noodles. Gooey mozzarella. Pure comfort food.
Chicken Adobo
My mom didn’t say “I love you” with words. She said it with a giant pot of chicken adobo, extra rice, and fried potatoes to make sure all 11 of us ate. 😂❤️
That smell of garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar simmering in the kitchen? Instant childhood. Today I’m recreating her adobo — rich, savory, tangy, and cooked low and slow until the chicken falls apart.
Some recipes feed you.
The special ones bring you back home. Happy Mother’s Day.
Beef Shank Kare Kare
Kare Kare… but let’s be real for a second.
You don’t need oxtail to make it hit. 👀
This one’s made with beef shank—still rich, still fall-apart tender, still got that deep beefy flavor… just way more practical (and yeah, your wallet will thank you).
You’ve got that creamy peanut sauce, the salty punch from bagoong, all soaking into the meat… this is the kind of dish where seconds aren’t optional.
I love oxtail Kare Kare—but this version? It earns its spot.
If you’ve never had Kare Kare, start here.
If you have… don’t sleep on this one.
Bicol Express
Salty. Funky. Creamy. Spicy.
That’s the flavor combo that defines Bicol Express… and honestly? Nothing else hits like it.
Bagoong melted into rich coconut milk, slow-simmered with pork and chilies until everything comes together into this thick, glossy, flavor-packed sauce.
It’s bold, it’s unapologetic… and it’s one of those dishes that just demands extra rice.
This is the kind of meal you don’t rush.
You let it simmer, let it build, let every bite hit the way it’s supposed to.
If you know, you know.
And if you don’t… this is your moment.
Would you try this… or nah? 🤔👇
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.
