October is Filipino American History Month (FAHM).
I didn’t know that, though, until I saw it yesterday while browsing the web. Funny you may say because I’ve been in the U.S. for eight years now. And another funny thing, I just found that out after a few days that I became a U.S. citizen. It sure is funny how life works sometimes.
And as a lover of food, what better way to celebrate the Filipino American History Month than talking and sharing about food. Filipino food to be precise because other than missing our family back home, the next thing that we miss being in the U.S. is the Filipino food from our native land. Although we can prepare some of it here, there are still a lot that we can’t because of the lack of ingredients. But I am still thankful for what I can get.
And here are a few delicious Filipino recipes, some of my favorites, that you really must try.
1. Pork Adobo with Eggs
2. Pork Afritada
3. Pancit Bihon
4. Filipino-Style Spaghetti
5. Pancit Canton
6. Arroz Caldo
7. Ginisang Monggo
8. Bistek Tagalog
9. Nilagang Baka
10. Ginisang Ampalaya
11. Adobong Talong
12. Crispy Fried Calamari
I am definitely so thankful for the local Asian Market that we have here where I can get my much-needed ingredients for my favorite Filipino recipes. If you want to try any of these recipes, head to your nearest Asian store and check the ingredients out.
Have you tried any Filipino dishes before? Did you like it? Do tell me about it. I would love to hear your story.
To all my Kababayan (fellow Filipino) in the U.S.A., CHEERS to celebrating the Filipino American History Month!
My stomach just growled. I am sure I will love all of these. I can’t wait to try some.
Just reading this post makes my stomach growl. My mouth is watering. I definitely need to look into some of these recipes.
My daughter’s best friend is Filipino. I am going to have to try some of these recipes when she comes over for a visit. They all look so tasty!
It all looks so good but I really want to try the Pancit LoMein. Calamari is good too. I haven’t had very much Filipino food but I’d love to give it a try. 🙂
It looks delicious. I’ve never tried to cook Filipino recipes myself, but I have enjoyed it at a few places over the years and it id delicious.
I’m not that familiar with Filipino dishes and it would be nice to try a few especially this month. I think the recipes look tasty and I’m so curious about that Filipino-Style Spag!
I think it’s awesome that there’s a month to celebrate Fil-Am history. All these recipes look enticing. I’m taking note of the recipes!
I love a good pasta dish. I can’t wait to give some of these filipino recipes a try.
I’ve been meaning to give a filipino recipe a try. I like switching things up during the week for the kids.
These look like some amazing recipes. I see so many that I would really love to try. The lo mein would be one I’d really like to try out. I love lo mein.
All these dishes are so delicious! I haven’t tried the adobong talong yet. My fave is the spaghetti!
I love trying new flavors and new recipes! All these dishes look amazingly delicious!
These sound like a great collection of recipes. I like trying out different dishes, and these sound delicious and interesting.
Congratulations on becoming a US citizen and happy Filipino American History Month. All of these dishes look delicious!
Thank you, Beth! 🙂
My husband and I love this style of food. We are pretty adenturous when it comes to trying new food.
