The Filipino cuisine is more moderate in its use of spices than some other Asian foods. Rice is the staple and is served with almost every meal. Fish features strongly and is served grilled, boiled, fried or steamed. Crabs, lobsters, prawns, oysters, tuna, freshwater fish and a regional speciality called 'sweet maliputo' are all commonly found on local menus. Pork or chicken dishes are popular and include adobo, arroz caldo and crispy pata (fried pig skin). Vegetarians will have no trouble in Manila. Try gulay, (a vegetable dish simmered in coconut milk), mongos (chick peas) and pinangat (vegetables with very hot peppers).
Here's a Kitchen recipe for you;-)
CHICKEN and PORK ADOBO (Meat in Tangy Sauce)
Ingredients:
1 cup native vinegar
1 head garlic, crushed
1 tsp. ground black peppercorns
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 kilo pork cut into 1' x 2' pieces

1 tbsp oyster sauce

There's a gazillion of choices to satisfy your every craving...from genuine Filipino restaurants ranging from the tony to the turo-turo, Chinese lauriat and dimsum places, Japanese sushi bars and misono grills, Indian, American, Italian...you name it.
Best Filipino restaurant: Kamayan is still the leader of the pack. You have a choice of eating the traditional way (with your fingers) or with kubiertos (flatware...less fun).
Best Chinese food: At President in Chinatown.
Kamayan and President are always packed with locals (Filipinos and Filipino-Chinese, respectively), which is always a good sign. They're huge, well maintained establishments as well.
No Filipino culinary experience is complete without experiencing adobo (pork and/or chicken stewed in soy sauce, vinegar, pepper corns, and garlic). Seafood dishes such as Kamayan's Yaman Dagat in chili sauce are also sure fire hits. Kare-kare (oxtail in peanut sauce) with bagoong (fish paste) shouldn't be missed.
At President's be sure to try their eel and 'two-toned fried rice.' Sheer heaven. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Kamayan has several branches: Pasay Road in Makati, EDSA Greenhills, Timog Avenue, SM Megamall. President is located on Ongpin St. in Chinatown.

Dampa
Dampa is a cluster of small restaurants lined-up adjacent to a fish market. THe restaurants offer whatever is available fresh from the market. Most locals opt to shop in the fish market themselves and have the sea produce cooked in any of the restaurants, by any conventional cooking method one would like whether grilled, deep-fried, etc. just name it and thé restaurant staff will cook it.
Seafoods galore- shrimps, fish, squid, etc. cooked grilled, deep fried, raw/cooked in vinegar(kilawin) or as Filipino soup-base (sinigang) Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: In front of Olive's Plaza, Sucat Road, Paranaque City
