Manila Late Night Dinner Guide: Must-Eat Food in Manila

1. Must-eat food in Manila

It’s delicious.

Chocolate has a long and rich history in Filipino cooking. It started with hot chocolate (also known as sikwate or tsokolatedebatirol depending on the region) and has recently evolved into a new cooking technique and handcrafting.

Filipino hot chocolate may also contain chopped nuts, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, or even peanut butter—each family's recipe is slightly different.

One of the reasons hot chocolate tastes slightly different in each region is due to the subtle flavors and hints of chocolate. Although they look similar, some are earthy, some are mango-flavored, and some have a more coffee-like aroma.

Filipino hot chocolate can be enjoyed on its own or paired with some delicious side dishes such as churros, traditional pendesar (salt bread), rice cakes and donuts.

The representative dishes of this country mainly include curry chicken, roasted suckling pig, roasted pork leg, banana belly, meat stew with garlic, shrimp soup, etc. Condiments such as balsamic vinegar, sugar, and pepper are commonly used in cooking.

Filipinos also like to eat hard-boiled half-hatched eggs and duck eggs. Sauté papaya, onions and vegetables with pepper. The eating habit of ordinary Filipinos is to grab rice with their hands. Nowadays, Western food is very popular in cities. There are more and more opportunities to use knives, forks and spoons, and eating habits have also changed a lot. The traditional Filipino house is a tall house built on land, waterside or on the water. This kind of house is made of rattan woven together for the walls, leaves of a type of palm called nipai for the roof, bamboo sheets for the floor, and a rectangular opening in the wall for the window. The tall houses are 1-3 meters above the ground and surrounded by bamboo fences. The rooms are dry and ventilated, but there are no beds, so people sleep on the floor covered with bamboo sheets. Currently, most rural areas retain this type of traditional housing. In the city, the rich live in luxurious houses, while the poor live in huts made of broken iron sheets, old boards and cardboard. Most Filipinos marry freely, usually monogamously, and the wedding is held in a church. However, there are differences in the traditional marriage customs of various ethnic groups. Some ethnic groups, especially indigenous people, have strange and primitive wedding customs.

For example, Pisaya people generally prohibit intermarriage, but in order to avoid the outflow of property, wealthy families often intermarry between uncles and nephews; most werewolves are willing to intermarry within their own nation and practice monogamy. The wedding begins with an imitation of grabbing a girl, and then the bride and groom eat and drink food from the same bowl. After the groom announced that he would marry the girl, everyone wished them happy children and grandchildren, and the wedding ended. Most newlyweds start a family and start a business alone after marriage, and their parents help build a house and purchase property; the marriages of Linga and Mandala people are arranged by their parents, and the children are engaged by their parents when they are young. Muslim marriages are generally decided by parents and adopt the early marriage system. Girls aged 12 or 13 are considered to be of marriageable age. The wedding is presided over by the Imam and there is a grand wedding banquet. There are also remnants of group marriage in Batak, that is, a woman is the primary wife of one man and the second wife of another man. ; A man is the main husband of one woman and the second husband of another woman, and the children are counted as the offspring of the two husbands; the Jiluo people have a free trial marriage system, and the marriage is not officially completed until the woman becomes pregnant; the Miao people of Palawan Island adopt Under the marriage recruitment system, girls are invited to tender publicly, and whoever pays the highest price will be their wife. Overseas Chinese generally marry within themselves, but in recent years, there are more and more cases of Chinese marrying Filipino women or Chinese marrying Filipino men. Funerals in this country are held differently according to the religious beliefs or traditional customs of each ethnic group. Most of them follow the Catholic funeral rituals, but some ethnic groups also have the custom of burial at sea or in the ground.
