Calamares Fritos
A favorite Pinoy pulutan (beer match) or just pica-pica (finger food). It’s squid sliced into rings, battered and then deep fried. I’m allergic to squid but I can never resist fried calamares. I just bring my anti-allergy medicine. Works just fine for me.

Lengua de Pastel
There are many ways Filipinos cook lengua (ox tongue) but I think my favorite is this, Lengua de Pastel. It’s the one with white mushroom sauce.

Beard Papa’s Cream Puffs
If you like cream puffs, I recommend Beard Papa’s. The crust is very crunchy because they only pump the cream into them when you buy them, so the cream is not sitting in the bread too long. Other cream puffs taste a bit soggy because the cream is already pumped in and it sits in [...]
